Episode Details

There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to offshore wind generation. What goes on under the surface is just as important as what is happening above sea level. Likewise - there is a whole world of things going on behind the scenes to ensure that these mammoth structures not only function, but are profitable and managed properly. In this episode, Quentin chats to Bailey Bradley (Managing Director at XceCo) for a very human insight into the sheer amount of work and decision-making involved in the process of bringing operations and maintenance as well as all asset management entirely in-house. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:

• The founding story of XceCo and the hurdles faced when building a business model from scratch.
• Insight on selling one of the biggest offshore wind farms in the world of its time.
• The factors needed to consider when caring for a windfarm. There's more than meets the eye!
• The importance of a team in getting such a huge project over the line.
• The in’s and outs involved in being a comprehensive asset management company.
