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.

Based on our identified impacts and risk related to the matter of resource use and circularity, we have reviewed our ways of tracking the effectiveness of our policies and actions in 2024. Our location in the value chain of renewable energy assets implies that we rely heavily on upstream value chain partners to understand and quantify the impact we have, which challenges the foundation for setting measurable, outcome-oriented, and time-bound targets. Consequently, we have not yet adopted a formal target related to our impacts on and risk from resource use and circularity.
