Bitbloom expands contract with Ventient Energy across European wind portfolio

London, UK, 19 January 2022: Bitbloom, the specialist provider of software and analytics services for the wind industry, today announces it has signed a renewed contract with Ventient Energy, the biggest independent generator of onshore wind energy in Europe.

The partnership will see Ventient Energy extend to the end of 2023 the use of Bitbloom’s proprietary Sift Monitor analysis platform, which provides automated analytics and reporting to optimise both operating performance and the health of wind assets. Bitbloom will deploy a range of features to allow Ventient Energy to quickly and easily disseminate insights to project stakeholders.

Joao Santos, Innovation, Research & Development Manager at Ventient Energy added “What stood out about Sift Monitor was how it allowed us to efficiently build and automate our own analytics and KPIs at scale. This approach helps us maximise our insight into our data and the performance and operation of our assets.

We’re pleased to continue the trial of the software exploring its capability and suitability for our portfolio.”

Having worked together previously, Bitbloom’s initial retained Sift Monitor contract began in January 2022, covering Ventient Energy’s UK wind assets. Following its successful delivery, the increased scope of work will also include parts of its European portfolio.

Staffan Lindahl, Co-Founder at Bitbloom commented of the new expanded partnership “We’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Ventient Energy throughout 2022, and we’re delighted to be continuing and expanding our relationship with them into Europe. Ventient has a highly skilled multidisciplinary technical team that places high expectations on us. This helps us continually enhance our products to meet the challenging demands of leaders in this space. We put the power into the hands of wind farm operators and project stakeholders to give them the scalable analytics they need to make decisions.”

Oliver Warlow, Research & Development Engineer at Ventient Energy said

“In the initial phase of the application of the software, Bitbloom impressed us with how their platform integrated into our UK portfolio analytics. Building on our developed KPIs, we need a platform that can manage these at scale, providing clearly understood metrics to users across the business whilst allowing us to investigate the data in more detail as required. We are excited to continue testing Sift Monitor further in 2023.”
