Full Circle secures Scottish service contract

Full Circle has secured a long-term, full-scope, maintenance contract with Ventient Energy to service Senvion turbines at the 30MW Dalswinton onshore wind farm in Scotland.

The agreement will cover 15 MM82 turbines each rated at 2.05MW of capacity, and marks Full Circle’s first long-term deal working on Senvion hardware as the company expands its multi-brand service offering.

Following a competitive tender process, Full Circle was selected to provide all turbine operations and maintenance support, including blade and major component work.

This is the first time in five years that Ventient Energy has taken on a new full-scope maintenance supplier in the UK, Full Circle said.

Full Circle is currently recruiting new full-time technicians to grow its team in Scotland and support delivery.

The turbines on site are 15 years old, and Full Circle will work to ensure their continued operation and extend their effective lifespans well beyond the scope of the current deal.

Dalswinton is located in Dumfriesshire, in the south west of Scotland.

Billy Stevenson, chief executive of Full Circle, said: "We are delighted to be selected by Ventient Energy following a highly competitive tender process, which we take as a vote of confidence in our hard-won reputation for client service and continued investment into growing our multi-brand capabilities.

"We look forward to ensuring that the aging turbines at Dalswinton continue to deliver excellent performance for many more years to come."

John Morris, head of UK asset management at Ventient Energy, said: "We were thoroughly impressed with Full Circle's comprehensive service offering, positive attitude, and are genuinely excited about forging a partnership with such a skilled and competent service provider.

"As we eagerly anticipate our collaboration, Full Circle becomes our first new full-scope supplier in the UK after a significant period.

"Our confidence is high in the team's capabilities and unwavering dedication, ensuring the optimal condition of our turbines."
