In 2024, we have progressed on this action by ordering more than 300 refurbished yaw brake calipers on our East and West Coast hubs in the UK. Calipers are used to hold the nacelle in place when the brakes are applied and are a part of the hydraulic system. For each caliper we reuse, we also lower the cost of our wind farm maintenance. In addition, we have set up refurbishment loops for several other minor components with a long leadtime to reduce the risk of lost production.
