Project Overview
Within the Israeli privatization program, a Joint Venture (JV) partnership between two large energy companies won the tender for the purchase of one of Israel’s largest power stations.
The JV made the decision to outsource the maintenance risk to a Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) provider to take responsibility of sourcing parts, servicing, and extended warranties.
EthosEnergy’s ability to understand the customer’s requirements and remain nimble through the JV take over were the key elements which allowed us to be selected and secure the contract in a highly competitive environment.
Key Challenges
- The client required a service provider that had advanced capability to service multiple equipment types across several different designs including steam turbines, gas turbines and generators
- There was high risk responsibility involved on outage to outage warranty, repair categorization, parts delivery and fallout, unit availability and performance
The EthosEnergy Solution
- Multi-equipment and OEM expertise to offer a full plant maintenance management solution
- Open and honest communication throughout all projects to ensure the right decisions were made and the client is kept updated
- Nimble approach, allowing for the best solutions to be implemented and customer requirements to be met
- Technical expertise that supported the client in creating a financial set-up aimed to maintain cost predictability and reduce expenditure
- A long-term cost-efficient solution to support sustainable operation for the client
Project Highlights
- Technical capability – EthosEnergy prepared a comprehensive support package including project management, field service, supply of new and refurbished parts, repair of parts and back office support from our experienced Engineering team
- Commercial flexibility – EthosEnergy was able to negotiate customer conditions in an open and constructive manner, understanding customer needs, constraints, and targets; and provided efficient solutions to address them in a meaningful way for both parties
Key Results
- The contract between EthosEnergy and the JV was signed on December 2nd 2020 in due time before the official handover of the power plant from its previous owners
- EthosEnergy has established a strategic parts inventory for the client, allowing for short lead time and ensuring that downtime at the plant is kept to a minimum
- Despite the challenges of COVID-19, EthosEnergy ensured that there was no disruption to the maintenance schedule on-site and continued operation through its residents that were deployed onsite
