S3 – PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES & O&M CONTRACTS

17 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50

What structures are working—and where are owners still exposed?

Many solar O&M contracts include performance guarantees, but not all create real accountability when plants underperform. Weak definitions, exclusions and poor incentive structures can leave owners exposed. Join fellow solar asset owners to compare which contract structures are working—and where O&M providers still avoid meaningful risk.

Usually, O2O RENEWABLES moderates our owner-to-owner discussions, but the Owners Roundtable is too big for us to handle, and we have asked our dear members to help us in Amsterdam.

A big thank you to Fortum!

Is this your cup of tea?

Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?

  • Which performance guarantee structures are proving most effective in practice?

  • Where are owners still seeing loopholes or exclusions undermine accountability?

  • How are owners defining availability and performance to avoid disputes later?

  • Which incentive structures best align O&M providers with long-term plant performance?

  • How are owners balancing contract complexity against enforceability in real operations?

Joining this discussion with identical peers from other Solar owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
