RenewableRepoweringon the Record
Repowering is a demolition and a bigger build on a site that's already permitted and already connected. POD reports both halves — what comes down and what goes up — from a voice note in the field.
Repowering is two projects on one pad, and a generic report only sees one
An asset ages out. The owner keeps the foundation and the interconnection and swaps the equipment for something bigger — an O&M-driven decision executed as a construction project. But a greenfield report only captures the rebuild. It misses the removals, the salvage and recycling, and the capacity uplift that justified the whole job. POD reports the teardown and the rebuild together, the day each moves.
The repower paths POD covers
Each technology repowers differently — but every one is a teardown and a rebuild on a reused site.
Onshore Wind Repower
Old turbines down, taller ones up on the same foundation. Removals, salvage, re-erection.
LiveOffshore Wind Repower
Demolition at sea plus a re-install — vessels and weather windows on both halves.
LiveSolar PV Repower
Old modules out, high-output ones in — the first-mover solar repower wave.
LiveBESS Augmentation
Degraded racks replaced, capacity added — restoring an aging battery to nameplate.
LiveAll four repower paths — Onshore Wind, Offshore Wind, Solar PV, and BESS Augmentation — are live now.
Built for the teardown and the rebuild
Both halves, one report
A repower day is a demolition and a build at once. POD tracks the removals and the salvage alongside the re-erection — the teardown a greenfield template never captures.
Reused foundation & interconnection
The pad and the grid tie are already there — the whole reason to repower. POD reports against the reused base, not a blank site.
Capacity uplift, on the record
Repower is measured in MW gained and blades diverted from landfill. POD puts the before-and-after and the recycling on the daily report — the numbers an owner and the IRS both read.
One asset, its whole life
The same platform followed the site through construction and O&M. Repower is the next chapter on the same login, not a new tool.
The same site, renewed
An aging turbine comes down and a taller one takes its place on the same foundation and grid tie — the renewal cycle a repower owner runs about every twenty years.
The repower decision on the dashboard
Repower starts before the first crane: which assets are aging out, and what it costs to renew them.

Built for the repower, not a greenfield form
| What gets tracked | Greenfield template | POD repower platform |
|---|---|---|
| Progress % | Plus turbines removed + re-erected + energized | |
| Equipment | Cranes for teardown AND rebuild — worked vs waiting | |
| Weather note | Lift window for both the removal and the pick | |
| Removals & salvage | Components down, recycled, and diverted from landfill | |
| Reused foundation / interconnection | Reported against the existing base, not a new site | |
| Capacity uplift (MW before → after) | The number the whole repower is justified by |

Renewable repowering questions
A repower day is two projects at once — a demolition and a build on the same reused foundation and interconnection. A greenfield template captures the erection but not the removals, the salvage and recycling, or the capacity uplift. POD reports both halves the day they happen: what came down, what went up, and the MW gained.
