Operational Assessment – End of Life and Business Models
SESSION DESCRIPTION
The average operational lifetime of a wind farm is estimated to be in the range of 20-25 years. This means that a significant portion of most installed wind farms will come to their nominal End of Life in the coming years and operators will have to make critical business decisions based on the specific characteristics of the site, conditions and installed technology. With reference to the European Union, such decisions will also have a significant impact on delivering the 2030 wind capacity and energy targets declared in the National Energy and Climate Plans as well as on the foreseen carbon neutrality targets by 2050. The session End of Life & Business Decisions will kick-off with an overview of the current wind energy landscape and repowering potentials in Italy and it will them move on to give an account of cutting-edge tools to help navigating among the possible options: extend the operational life of the assets, re-power the site or decommission.

Plenary session – Climate Change
SESSION DESCRIPTION
The COVID-19 pandemic is opening a transformational era: it is becoming even more crucial, evident and urgent to find actionable solutions to the challenge of climate change. Moreover, this health crisis had shown the fragility of future predictions based on what has been historically considered as ‘normal.’ We need to be prepared and fully equipped to understand the shifts and changes in climate towards new conditions – and what implications these will have across all our wind farm projects. This session will bring you an insightful discussion on the future of wind, building on two essential presentations:We welcome you onboard and highly value your participation in the interactive debate that will follow the presentations.
