From Ashes At All-Energy’23 To Spinning Blades At All-Energy’24

After two long days on the Realise Energy Services stand at All-Energy’23, explaining to visitors the benefits of regular turbine service and maintenance, the team were getting ready to head home for a well-deserved rest!

However, before they could leave, there was one last enquiry that would prove to be particularly noteworthy.

Adele Brownlie visited our stand late in the day and explained that her family’s Vestas V27 turbine, in Aberdeenshire, had sadly suffered a catastrophic fire and had to be decommissioned. The fire had even hit the headlines in the national papers, and you can read the story here.

Fast forward six months and Realise Energy Services had delivered, installed, and are now servicing, a replacement pre-owned Vestas V27 for the family.

Lots of lessons learned along the way, but great to be able to support the Brownlie’s determination and get blades spinning once again on the farm.

Here is the whole install in one minute:

The Realise Energy Services team are gearing up for a busy few days at All-Energy’24, and we look forward to seeing you next week on Stand G31.

We won’t be going home until the very end, you just never know who might need help!
