Operations & Maintenance – Growing Experience


Strategy

Our O&M Strategy was an extension of our on-shore strategy and has

developed, as we have matured ;

•

A very `hands off’ approach

• Managed by a Centrally based E.on Manager

• Local contract Site Manager

•

No Owner site presence

All O&M the responsibility of the turbine OEM

Strategy Comments

E.on needs to be in strong position to;

• Manage performance and costs

• Effectively mange our risks

•

Increases our experience in

Offshore in a manageable way

•

Reduces our reliance on any singlecompany

•

Very “Hand on” approach

•

E.on - where we can add value• Contract out specialist services,

lower value work and support

services

• All labour and logistics under our

control
