Blade O&M Europe attracts a diverse range of blade enthusiasts from all over the world. With an exponential increase in blade length, the development and adoption of new technology, and the interest in new sites in new markets, the European wind industry has never been more competitive. Between satisfying regulatory requirements and negotiating with investors and insurers, wind farm development and operations requires more information about blades, from cost-benefit of larger blades to warranty details to ensure they are operating to the fullest capability for the full asset lifetime. Blade O&M Europe offers owner/operators the opportunity to discuss experiences with blade operations and maintenance in the context of new technologies and market pressures.

The event aims to help visitors discover how to reduce OPEX and CAPEX through predictive maintenance and lifetime extension, manage damage risk and reduce costs of blade failure, and optimise energy output through developments in blade design.
