Offshore WindRepoweredon the Record
A demolition at sea and a re-install on the same monopile — metered in vessel-days and weather windows, both halves. POD puts the removals and the re-erection on one report, built from a voice note on the deck.
An offshore repower is two campaigns at sea, and a greenfield report sees one
The old turbines come down before the new ones go up — on the same monopiles, the same array cables, the same export tie. A new-build offshore template captures the install and drops the rest: the removals craned onto the vessel, the components shipped to shore for salvage, the monopiles reused or re-fitted, and the vessel-days burned on both halves. POD reports the demolition and the re-install on one record, the day each moves.
What an offshore repower day has to carry
Removals at sea
De-energizing, blade and nacelle removal, and tower sectioning offshore — with everything craned onto a vessel, not lowered to a laydown yard. The demolition half a greenfield report never sees.
Vessels & weather windows
A jack-up or heavy-lift vessel meters both halves in vessel-days, and every lift lives or dies on the met-ocean window. When the window opened, when it closed, and the vessel time spent on each.
Reused monopile & interconnection
The monopile, the array cables, and the export tie stay — the most expensive offshore scope, kept. Which foundations are reused as-is, which need a transition-piece modification for a larger turbine.
Re-install & re-energize
A taller turbine set on the same monopile, terminated, and re-energized within the window. Components shipped to shore for salvage or recycling, and the capacity uplift the whole campaign is measured by.
Old down, taller up, same monopile
The jack-up vessel stands on its legs beside the reused monopile, the Gen-1 turbine comes down, and a taller machine rises on the same foundation — all inside the weather window that lets offshore work happen at all.
What the offshore repower looks like on the dashboard
Two numbers a campaign manager reads first: are the crews holding their pace across both halves, and how fast is the weather-and-vessel contingency burning.

PODThe offshore repower POD tracks
From vessel mobilization to first rotation of the new machine — every phase reported the day it moves.
Mobilization & met-ocean survey
Vessel mobilized, weather windows forecast, and the reused monopiles surveyed. The offshore campaign is planned around the sea state.
Turbine removals (at sea)
Old turbines de-energized, blades and nacelles lifted to the vessel, towers sectioned down and shipped to shore. The demolition half, logged pick by pick.
Monopile & cable reuse
Monopiles inspected and reused as-is or fitted with a new transition piece; array cables and interconnection re-verified for the larger machine.
Re-install & re-energize
Taller turbines set on the reused monopiles, terminated, and re-energized within the window. Each unit flips from removed to producing more MW.
Built for the offshore repower, not a greenfield form
| What gets tracked | Greenfield template | POD repower platform |
|---|---|---|
| Progress % | Plus turbines removed + re-installed + re-energized | |
| Weather note | A timed met-ocean window for each lift | |
| Equipment | Jack-up / heavy-lift vessel — vessel-days on both halves | |
| Removals at sea & salvage | Components craned to vessel, shipped to shore, recycled | |
| Reused monopile / interconnection | As-is vs new transition piece for the larger turbine | |
| Capacity uplift (MW before → after) | The number the campaign is justified by |

Offshore wind repowering questions
Yes. An offshore repower is half demolition at sea, half re-install — and both halves are metered in vessel-days and weather windows. POD logs the turbines coming down, the components shipped to shore for recycling or salvage, the vessel time on each half, and the re-erection, on one daily report built from a voice note on the deck.
Put the demolition and the re-install on one record
Speak the day from the deck. POD logs the removals, the vessel-days, the reused monopiles, and the re-erection, and keeps the capacity uplift in front of the owner.
