ISP in the U.S. market.78 The U.S. O&M market has seen consolidation among ISPs and a growing presence of OEMs since 2007. ISPs have been acquired by utilities or by other service firms seeking to expand their service offerings. As mentioned earlier, industry officials report that a growing number of OEMs are aggressively turning to the O&M market in an effort to boost profits.79 Competition in the O&M market varies depending on the services provided. Scheduled maintenance, which accounts for the majority of services required,80 can typically be provided by most O&M firms, so competition is based on price. However, the highest priority for owners is typically unscheduled maintenance, which can take the turbine out of commission. In choosing an O&M provider for unscheduled maintenance, owners consider issues such as whether the service provider can offer remote monitoring to predict and prevent failures, if it has a procurement group to get spare parts, and whether it has personnel in the area or a hub nearby to reduce the cost of manpower.81 In general, according to one industry representative, it is often difficult for ISPs to compete against OEMs in the U.S. O&M marketplace because OEMs have become aggressive in negotiating service contracts in conjunction with turbine sales and have often shut third-party providers out of the market.82 Additionally, OEMs have the competitive advantage of detailed knowledge of their technology and the ability to offer technology upgrades throughout the life of a turbine. 83 However, one industry representative noted that there are many basic services that ISPs can provide. Additionally, most ISPs offer the advantage of being able to work on multiple turbine brands.84 Global Market for Wind Energy Services Market Size Annual global installations of wind energy have grown rapidly over the past decade, increasing from 8.1 gigawatts (GW) in 2003 to 44.8 GW in 2012 (figure 4.4). In 2012, new installations reached record levels and were up 10 percent from the previous year—a change from the 2010–2011 period, which saw only moderate increases in demand. The United States was the largest market in 2012, with 13,124 MW in new installations (29.3 percent of all new installations), followed closely by China with 12,960 MW (28.9percent), Germany with 2,415 MW (5.4 percent), India with 2,336 MW (5.2 percent), and the United Kingdom with 1,897 MW (4.2 percent) (figure 4.5).85 78 EDF Renewable Services is the O&M services branch of EDF Renewable Energy, a wind farm developer and owner.
