London, UK, 4 May 2022: Bitbloom, the specialist provider of software and analytics services for the wind industry, today announces it has signed a contract with Cubico Sustainable Investments (Cubico), one of the world’s largest privately-owned renewable energy companies, for the supply of wind asset analytics in North America.
Having monitored its European wind energy assets since 2021, the new contract will see an expansion of Bitbloom’s service provision, to include Cubico’s first operational wind farm in the United States of America: the 46.5 MW Wind Wall 1 project in California.
Cubico will benefit from Bitbloom’s proprietary Sift Monitor analysis platform, that provides automated analytics and reporting. Bitbloom will deploy a range of automated and targeted analytics and ongoing monitoring services, to optimise both operating performance and the health of wind assets.
Charlie Plumley, Performance Manager at Cubico said “We’re delighted to be expanding our work with the Bitbloom team, not only is their service first-class, but we were really impressed by their ongoing agility and flexibility to optimise as new requirements and information is obtained. The transparency of their insights mean that reports are easily shared and understood within our internal teams ensuring actions are made that can add value to our portfolio.
Plumley continues “As we enter the American wind market, we’re really pleased to be able to bring such a valued partner along with us.”
Staffan Lindahl, Co-Founder at Bitbloom commented of the extended partnership; “We’ve been delivering monitoring services for Cubico in Europe for around 12 months now, and we’re really excited to be expanding our remit with them in North America. Our ability to be responsive and deliver transparent insights in collaborative optimisation projects is what sets us apart. These qualities are the cornerstones in how we build our software and services for customers.
The importance of tailored monitoring cannot be underestimated, and we’re delighted to be able to provide this to wind farm operators and owners around the globe.”
Bitbloom currently provides ongoing operational monitoring services for Cubico’s European wind farm portfolio, and the American contract commenced in April 2022.
