This follows the successful use of the Clir platform in optimising production at Northleaf’s Canadian Breaks wind farm in Texas. The new mandate brings the scope of work in the state with Clir to 410 MW.
Clir will use its extensive dataset – drawn from over 200 GW of assets across different OEMs, technologies, regions and ages – to prepare and perform analytics on Northleaf’s Cotton Plains wind farms in conjunction with the operations and maintenance teams, to ensure energy output is optimised while maximising financial returns.
“We are delighted to continue working with Northleaf following our successful collaboration on the Canadian Breaks project and look forward to expanding our services to optimise a further 200 MW across their Cotton Plains wind farms” said Craig McCall, CRO at Clir Renewables. “With our available benchmarking data, we can continue to provide Northleaf with comprehensive insight into the output of its investments, giving them the power to make informed decisions in the rapidly growing US wind sector.”
Kaushik Ramki, Director at Northleaf, said that at a time of increased volatility in the energy market, the company is seeing a continued push for expanded renewable energy generation across the United States and that optimising its assets through the Clir platform is important from an asset management perspective to help maximise the value of the company’s investment and deliver enhanced returns for its investors
“It is critical that we use high quality data to optimise our wind farms’ output and analyse technical and financial opportunities to increase projects’ value” added Mr Ramki. “Building on our previous successes, we look forward to working with Clir’s market intelligence technology at our Cotton Plains wind farms to generate insight on how best to maximise their performance.”
