Common Risks and How SgurrEnergy Helps
Bankability risk
Lender's technical advisory, bankability assessment and financial model input review.
Construction drawdown risk
Construction monitoring, progress verification, milestone review and drawdown support.
Grid and compliance risk
Grid connection review, grid code compliance, power system studies and commissioning support.
E&S risk
Lender E&S compliance review, ESIA/ESDD and environmental/social action plan support.
Operational risk
Operational monitoring, performance review, warranty review and refinancing technical review.
Services by Lifecycle Stage
Lifecycle Stage 1
Inception
Early lender risk screening where projects approach debt discussions.
Recommended Service Pathways
As a debt provider, you need an independent engineering partner who can translate project technical risk into clear, defensible evidence for your credit and monitoring teams. These pathways span the lending lifecycle, from pre-close diligence through construction drawdowns to operational performance.
Lender Technical Advisory
Engage us as your appointed lender's engineer to oversee technical risk across the full loan lifecycle from sanction through repayment.
ExploreBankability Assessment
Commission this before financial close to confirm the project's technical assumptions can credibly support your modelled debt service and repayment profile.
ExploreTechnical Due Diligence
Use this to independently scrutinise feasibility, design, permits and resource data so your credit committee can sanction the loan with confidence.
ExploreEnergy Yield Assessment
Rely on this to validate the P50 and P90 production figures underpinning your cash-flow forecasts and downside-case DSCR sizing.
ExploreGrid Code Compliance
Request this to confirm the connection meets grid code obligations, protecting revenue against curtailment, penalties or delayed energisation that threaten debt service.
ExploreLender E&S Compliance Review
Engage us to confirm the project satisfies your environmental and social loan covenants and Equator Principles or IFC performance standards.
ExploreContract and Procurement Technical Review
Use this to test whether EPC contracts and technical specifications allocate construction and performance risk soundly before you commit funds.
ExploreConstruction Monitoring and Owner's Site Supervision
Appoint us to verify build progress and quality against milestones, providing the independent evidence your team needs to certify each drawdown.
ExploreCommissioning Support
Engage this at energisation to confirm assets pass commissioning and performance tests before COD triggers conversion to the term loan.
ExplorePerformance Assessment and PR Review
Use this during operations to track performance ratio and yield against forecast, flagging underperformance that could erode DSCR or trigger refinancing.
