Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive 2026

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) introduces structured sustainability reporting requirements that may extend beyond EU-based companies through operations and value-chain relationships. It also requires double materiality, assessing both how sustainability issues affect a company and how its activities affect people, communities and natural resources. Early preparation can strengthen long-term reporting readiness.

We Wrote IFC’s Utility-Scale Solar Bankability Guide — What Still De-risks Projects Today

SgurrEnergy authored IFC’s landmark guide, Utility Scale Solar Power Plants: A Guide for Developers and Investors. More than a decade on, its core principles — staged de-risking, an independent energy yield reported at P90, a retention- and guarantee-backed contract package, and a financial model that tells the truth — still define what makes a solar project bankable.

Annual Operation and Maintenance appraisal and its importance

This paper is written to fill a void created by lack of knowledge in conducting annual operation and maintenance appraisal and its importance in PV solar power plants. Operation and Maintenance(O&M) appraisal plays a vital role in maintaining the predicted energy yield, by evaluating the existing maintenance methodologies and proposing the remedial preventive maintenance plan to increase the life span of the plant. However, it is often seen that due to budgetary constraints, lack of knowledge of performing the evaluation, annual O&M appraisal are not undertaken.
