Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from renewable power purchase agreements.
Managing Power Purchase Agreements for Renewable Energy Projects
Practical training in renewable power purchase agreements, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in renewable power purchase agreements — it punishes it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on purchase agreements both accrue interest. It treats the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for renewable power purchase agreements, not for observers of it. Applied research in energy and hydrocarbon operations consistently shows that early structure around the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations reduces downstream rework. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in purchase agreements rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants gain a realistic view of what renewable power purchase agreements costs and what it returns. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting purchase agreements and under-invest in testing it. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
