One Wind’s St. Lawrence and Fermeuse Wind Farms, located in Newfoundland & Labrador, provide a combined 54MW of green energy capacity to the province’s power grid, providing enough electricity to power about 14,000 homes collectively.
Pennecon Technical Services (PTS) were contracted by ENEL in 2008 to provide start-up and commissioning support. Since the energization, PTS’ has continued to support One Wind with its planned maintenance program on both sites, while responding to any unscheduled power outages, equipment failures, or other asset management support such as equipment assessments and/or repairs. Below is the outlined scope of work performed during startup and commissioning.
