WindEurope : Bilbao 2022

14 March 2022
Lightning risk mitigation for wind energy professionals

Wind turbines are particularly exposed, as they are tall, insulated structures with sensitive electronics, which are prone to lightning strikes. 

A German study a few years ago showed that 80% of all wind turbine claims reported to insurance companies were caused by lightning. A lightning strike can lead to production downtime and particularly high economic losses. For example, one wind farm in the US had 85% of its downtime related to lightning in its first full year of operation. Total damages exceeded $250,000.

To raise awareness among wind farm managers, meet our experts at the WindEurope exhibition from 5 to 7 April 2022 in Bilbao (stand 3 - E43).

In co-exhibition with our Spanish partner Tesicnor, our Meteorological experts will be present at this major event of the wind energy sector.

Throughout these 3 days, our teams will come back live on these issues and on the lightning risk prevention and mitigation solutions available to wind energy professionals.
