Why buy?

The case for ownership

• Ownership is a one-time cost. Rental is a recurring cost that scales with time.
• Based on our internal projections, the ownership model starts to outperform the rental model around year three. Every year beyond that is money saved.
• Multiply the effect across a fleet of units on a multi-turbine site, and the difference compounds significantly.

Ownership, without the moving goalposts

What you see is what you get. We value transparency and simplicity.

• No annual inflationary uplifts. The rental day-rate in year three is unlikely to match the one you agreed today.
• No end-of-term renegotiation. Ownership is a one-time procurement decision. No supplier leverage at renewal.
• No buy-out clauses. No question of paying twice — once to rent, once to keep.

Ownership, without the servicing overhead

Wind-Fare units are client-owned assets. Servicing sits with the operator's own technicians — the same teams already deployed to site. If a component fails, Wind-Fare supplies the spare, along with an indicative RAMS pack, so replacement can be integrated into the next planned site visit.

No third-party service vans. No servicing markup. No competing schedules.

When rental makes sense

Not every project needs to own. Short-duration campaigns, exploratory work, mobilisation phases and short-notice deployments still favour rental — and Wind-Fare can supply rental units for these scenarios directly.

For offshore asset portfolios with multi-year welfare requirements, ownership is worth understanding — whether you buy from us or not.
