SgurrEnergy's contract technical review is an independent expert review of the technical schedules, scope of work, performance obligations, guarantees, testing requirements and exclusions within a renewable project's EPC, O&M, PPA, grid and supply contracts. It surfaces technical risks, scope gaps and unbalanced risk allocation before the contracts are signed or relied upon.
Why This Service Matters
Technical risks often sit inside contracts. EPC, O&M, grid, supply and PPA documents can create obligations, exclusions, performance requirements or scope gaps that affect cost, schedule, bankability and long-term asset value.
When This Service Is Needed
Before signing EPC, O&M, PPA, grid or supply contracts
During financing or lender review
Before acquisition or sale of a project
When contract obligations affect performance guarantees or testing
When technical schedules, specifications or exclusions need review
When change orders, claims or disputes involve technical interpretation
