E.ON launches new U.S. renewable energy service business
Chicago
"As we transitioned to an operations-focused company several years ago, we saw a large, growing demand for qualified service providers. Supporting project owners and investors to get more performance, efficiency, and revenues from their projects is at the core of E.ON Energy Services. We'll leverage nearly a decade of experience to offer a one-stop shop to small, mid-size, and big customers alike," said E.ON's North American chairman Patrick Woodson. "We can help customers drive project performance by providing dedicated service with an 'Owner's Eye'."
E.ON brings considerable assets to project-optimizing services. E.ON sees its ability to customize asset management services as key to service the fast-growing wind and solar markets. "For more passive owners, we can perform site and Balance of Plant (BOP) management during warranty periods all the way to full asset management services. For more active owners, we can supplement current efforts on major repairs, inspections, or long-term maintenance to keep infrastructure investment costs down," said Woodson.
The wind and solar markets continue to expand greatly in North America but there are relatively few nationally active service providers. E.ON Energy Services will provide project owners and investors with services. "This is another example of how a robust wind and solar industry continues to create more American jobs and business investment here at home," said Woodson.
