Battery, Solar, and Repowering Wind Plant Cable Reliability: Experience with American Clean Power Recommended Practices

Wednesday, March 5, 2025 | 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. EDT

 

Our webinars are eligible for IEEE PDH credit. To qualify, you must attend the webinar live and complete the IEEE evaluation we will provide following the event.

 

Wind, Solar, and Battery plants lose millions of dollars in revenue and O&M costs yearly due to cable failures introduced during construction and not caught by legacy commissioning and quality control.  For less than 1% of the project cost, standards and procedures can be upgraded to avoid these costs achieving over a 20X ROI.  

In addition, aged wind plants being repowered have a unique opportunity to scan cable systems and implement strategic repairs to ensure the next few decades of service will be reliable. Join our free webinar to explore decades of industry best practices recommended by the American Clean Power organization.
