Lightning strike risk for offshore wind farms
Skowronnek & Bechnak • 29. Oktober 2020
Skowronnek & Bechnak are engaged in seeking combined technical and insurance solutions against the risk of a lightning strike and the resulting loss or damage, including financial impact on the offshore wind farms due to loss of production during the turbines downtime. The impact on the offshore wind farms can be very significant in particular in territories where lightning strikes are frequent, such as e.g. norther parts of Japan where the probability of a lightning strike is 300 times higher than in the European North Sea. Further queries can be addressed at info@sbadvisors.de.
