Solar Energy Procurement Services Negotiation Requirements

Are You a corporate energy buyer ready for direct renewable procurement?

If you’re a corporate energy buyer ready to embark on your journey to direct renewable procurement, getting to grips with the complexities of PPA negotiation will take time. The renewable energy market and regulatory environment are both complex, with every project requiring analysis to understand risks, benefits, and potential drawbacks.

Do solar projects need an EPC contract?

In our experience, most utility-scale solar projects use an EPC Contract. An operation and maintenance agreement: This is usually a medium- to long-term Operating and Maintenance Agreement (O&M Agreement) with an Operator. The term of the O&M Agreement will vary from project to project.

What is solar EPC (engineering procurement & construction)?

To ensure the successful implementation of solar projects, the Solar EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) model is widely adopted. Solar energy continues to gain momentum as one of the most promising renewable energy sources.

What is a solar procurement strategy?

Procurement includes purchasing solar panels, inverters, mounting structures, and electrical components. An effective procurement strategy prioritizes both quality and cost-effectiveness, ensuring that only reliable, high-performance equipment is used.

How does solar energy procurement help reduce project delays?

Proper procurement also helps minimize project delays by ensuring timely delivery of materials. The construction phase involves the actual installation of the solar power system. Site preparation, foundation work, mounting, and wiring are all part of this stage.

Will EPC contracts provide for the handover of a solar facility?

EPC Contracts will not provide for the handover of the solar facility to the Project Company, and the PPA will not become effective until all commissioning and reliability trialling has been successfully completed.
