Truth to Power - Episode 22

On this week’s episode of #TruthtoPower, IntelStor's Founder & CEO, Philip Totaro showcases the latest operations and maintenance cost forecast, and how OEMs, ISPs and asset operators can determine how much they can expect to spend on component repairs.

 

In 2025, the #windenergy industry is poised to spend more than $2.92 billion on wind turbine repairs in the USA. Blades contribute the most at 37% of the overall, and blades now total more than $1 billion in annual cost.

 

Lightning damage is the largest cost center, with more than $255.7 million in repairs being undertaken in 2025. That is poised to escalate to more than $333 million by the end of 2034.
