Description

The O&M agreement is a key component in developing and financing renewable energy projects and significantly impacts its long-term success, especially regarding performance and remedies. It is a crucial document in the review of the bankability of the project.

O&M agreements must address several critical issues, including the operator's responsibilities and the owner's obligations, termination, limitations on liability, and force majeure, among others.

Legal counsel to renewable energy project development companies must understand the challenges, realities, and expectations to structure O&M agreements that appropriately allocate risks from both the vendor and the lender perspectives.

Listen as our authoritative panel of energy attorneys examines the critical issues involved in structuring and negotiating O&M agreements for renewable energy projects, offering insights on evolving industry norms and best practices. The panel will discuss high priority provisions and monitoring and management strategies.
