Solas Business Life Cycle: Operations

Business Life Cycle: Operations

There are many parts to oversee as your energy project moves into operations and maintenance.

We work within your unique project maintenance requirements and follow strict health and safety guidelines.

From day one of operation, we help you maximize output, manage compliance, and protect the long-term value of your clean energy investment. Our team provides independent oversight, performance monitoring, and strategic guidance to keep your assets running at peak efficiency. 

We also conduct forensic reviews of curtailment, identifying the root cause so you can unlock additional production and revenue. And when assets underperform, we support you in working with OEMs to address issues and enforce warranty conditions. 

Operations

With proactive management, we ensure issues are addressed early so your projects deliver consistent results year after year.

Our operations services include:

  • Performance optimization: Strategies to maximize renewable and storage asset output.
  • Independent monitoring: Transparent performance tracking and reporting.
  • Curtailment analysis: Forensic reviews to identify causes and recover lost production.
  • Warranty advocacy: Support in diagnosing underperformance and working with OEMs under warranty.

Curtailment Forensics & Recovery

Solas Energy identified the root cause of curtailment by the system operator, enabling the client to recover lost revenue. Our team analyzed ISO dispatch signals, historian data, and neighbouring wind farm events to assess whether curtailment was applied in line with ISO rules. The detailed review provided clarity, evidence, and actionable strategies to restore production and protect future earnings.

Construction to Operations Transition

Solas Energy acted as Owner’s Engineer to manage the critical transition from construction to operations for a large renewable energy project. We developed a comprehensive permit and action tracking system to identify outstanding issues in permitting, regulatory compliance, and construction conditions. By resolving these items early, we ensured operational readiness, reduced regulatory risk, and enabled a smooth start to long-term asset performance.

Large Scale Wind – O&M Strategy

As renewable energy projects age, owners face a key question: should the asset be repowered, extended, or retired? Solas Energy provides the independent evaluations to answer that question, combining technical, financial, and regulatory insights to determine the best path forward. If repowering is the right option, we guide clients through every stage—from feasibility and cost-benefit analysis to technology selection, contract strategy, and execution. Our goal is to maximize production, extend asset life, and reduce operating costs, all while ensuring compliance and protecting long-term project value.
