The Future of Financial Asset Management is Plumbing, Not Dashboards
Dashboards don’t fix bad data. Pipelines do. In finance, it’s tempting to believe that fancy dashboards = control. But in practice, if data pipelines are weak, dashboards are just polished illusions. What looks like insight often hides inconsistency, latency, or mis-aggregation. This problem is amplified when your financial data sources originate outside your organization through […]
Beyond the SPV: What Aircraft Leasing Can Teach Renewables About Unlocking Capital
Renewables need trillions in new capital to hit global energy transition targets. Yet much of the sector remains trapped in SPV silos: every wind farm, solar park, or battery site is ring-fenced, largely financed separately and reported as an average of strong and weak assets. That structure got us here, but it won’t get us […]
Technical and Financial Asset Managers: The Unsung Heroes of Renewables
The renewable energy sector is expanding rapidly, leading to an increased burden of governance, compliance, and performance monitoring for asset owners due to more projects, special purpose vehicles (SPVs), regulatory requirements, and reporting. Much of this work is handled by outsourced service providers (OSPs), which are firms that provide financial and technical asset management for […]
Inspections Done Right: Turning Blade Data Into Business Value
In wind energy, inspections are not a box to tick, they’re the foundation of every repair decision, budget plan, and production forecast that follows. Done well, inspections create clarity, reduce uncertainty, and keep repair campaigns on track. Done poorly, they create bottlenecks, blow up budgets, and put megawatt-hours at risk. Across the industry, operators are […]
Managing Lightning Risk in Wind Energy: Insights from an Expert Panel
Lightning strikes remain one of the leading causes of blade damage, downtime, and repair costs in wind energy. As turbines grow taller and blades get longer, the risk is only increasing, particularly from upward lightning, which turbines themselves can trigger. In a recent webinar hosted by SkySpecs in partnership with UpTime, experts from Eologix, EDF […]
Why Repair Vendor Management is the Next Frontier in Wind Asset Performance
As the wind industry matures, owners and operators are being asked to do more with less. Turbines are larger, portfolios more complex, and the cost pressures from power markets are relentless. Yet one area consistently overlooked in strategies for operational excellence is repair vendor management. The recent SkySpecs webinar on vendor management shone a light […]
Beyond Software: The Power of Service-Driven SaaS in Wind Energy
More Than Just Software—Delivering Real-World Value Wind energy is evolving rapidly, and asset owners are increasingly turning to digital solutions to optimize performance and reduce downtime. But buying software alone doesn’t automatically solve problems. Just like a shovel doesn’t dig a hole on its own, software is simply a tool—it requires expertise, structured processes, and […]
