The Overarching Challenge
In the dynamic world of renewable energy deployment and operations, managing risk and compliance across an enterprise presents a unique set of challenges. The complexity and significance of adhering to contractual obligations and regulatory requirements increase exponentially as portfolios scale. These contracts, encompassing everything from power sales and interconnection arrangements to permitting and land use, form the backbone of the individual project vitality and success. In addition, collaboration across departments, including legal, operations, administration, among others, is essential to uphold commitments outlined in these core agreements.
