EWT wind turbines

[FISHGUTS]

Hello,

I believe there's a few members on here, who have EWT 500kw turbines?

I was wondering how everyone is finding EWT/Full circle now?
My past experience has been fantastic over the years, but as of late it seems to have really dropped off.
As of this year I'm standing at 81 % availability. This month has been unbelievably bad with breakdowns. I don't even want to calculate my losses this year as it will be staggering.
The service teams are always great, but it seems they are being let down by parts being hard to get or substandard refurbed parts being sent.
I'd be really interested in other owners experiences?
Thanks.

Find full circle not as good as when EWT were doing maintenance, don't seem to be on the ball nearly as much and take a lot longer to get issues resolved,for what we are paying for annual maintenance I really hoped for better.

Do you have to pay for parts extra over and above the maintenance contract price?

 

[HAM135]

Maintenance contract includes everything.

looks like the boss of Full Circle Billy Stevenson used to be head of Enercon Services UK who carry out the servicing of Enercon Turbines in the uk. He is now in competition

Lease a site for one and it's been broken down for a fortnight.
