Power Plant Operation and Maintenance Services
A plant that runs 8,400 hours a year is worth more than a plant that runs 7,000 — availability is the cheapest megawatt you will ever buy.
Most plants lose more output to unplanned downtime and slow maintenance turnaround than to any design issue. O&M is where the difference between an 88% and a 94% availability plant is made, and that gap is usually worth more than the O&M contract itself.
We provide resident operating teams, remote monitoring, planned and corrective maintenance, and spare parts supply. For clients who prefer to self-operate, we provide the maintenance system, procedures and periodic specialist support instead.
Typical for
- Owners committing capital to a new plant
- Developers needing a firm technical basis
- Local contractors without in-house power expertise
- Industrial groups replacing unreliable grid supply
What we provide
- Resident O&M — Full operating and maintenance team on site, with defined KPIs on availability and heat rate.

- Planned maintenance — Annual outage planning, inspection schedules, statutory testing coordination.
- Spare parts — Critical spares held in region, consumables supply, OEM and equivalent-part sourcing.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often on this subject. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Do you take availability guarantees in O&M contracts?
Yes, typically 92–95% for biomass and gas plants, measured on a defined basis excluding grid outages and force majeure. The guarantee is backed by liquidated damages, and we only offer it after assessing the plant condition.
Can you take over a plant built by someone else?
Yes, but only after a condition assessment. Taking over an unknown plant without inspection is how O&M contractors lose money and owners lose trust. The assessment typically takes two to three weeks.
What spare parts should we hold on site?
As a minimum: one set of critical sensors, filters, gaskets, belts, ignition components and one complete set of turbine or engine consumables for the first year. We provide a recommended holding list with lead times and costs after the condition assessment.
