Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in solar and wind project planning; it has added to it. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in project planning — it punishes it. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations has actually achieved. Buying a tool rarely fixes solar and wind project planning; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The programme suits teams tackling this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations together as readily as individuals attending alone. Participants apply project planning to their own operating asset throughout, so the output is directly usable. Where solar and wind project planning is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It treats project planning as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline survives a hostile question.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Integrate project planning into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Assess the current state of solar and wind project planning against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Select indicators that show whether project planning is improving, and reject those that only look useful.
Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from solar and wind project planning.
Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on project planning.
Build the competence and certification matrix for staff working on solar and wind project planning.
Who Should Attend
Team leaders and supervisors who put solar and wind project planning into practice day to day.
Facility and plant managers accountable for project planning.
Coordinators responsible for keeping records and documentation of solar and wind project planning current.
Operations and production engineers responsible for project planning.
Maintenance and reliability engineers supporting solar and wind project planning.
Shift supervisors and control room leads dealing with project planning in real time.
Course Modules
Solar and wind project planning: environmental obligation and emissions
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What the last incident involving solar and wind project planning should have taught us
- Review whether solar and wind project planning is aligned with the objectives of the operating asset.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for project planning.
- Confirm that lessons from solar and wind project planning are shared beyond the team that learned them.
- Review incident and near-miss history involving project planning.
Session 2Reading condition data on project planning before failure, not after
- Identify the failure modes of solar and wind project planning with the highest consequence.
- Establish the boundary of project planning and record what sits outside it.
- Confirm handover documentation for solar and wind project planning is complete and current.
- Check that the permit regime covering project planning matches the actual hazard.
Project planning: economics, price exposure and investment case
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Deciding between life extension and replacement for project planning
- Review the instrumentation on solar and wind project planning for coverage gaps.
- Identify where judgement in project planning is legitimate and where it is not.
- Map the handovers in solar and wind project planning between functions and secure them.
- Identify single points of dependency in project planning and reduce them.
Session 2The operating limits on project planning and what happens beyond them
- Check that management of change is applied to every modification of solar and wind project planning.
- Confirm that those complying with project planning understand why it exists.
- Check that solar and wind project planning still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Model the economics of project planning at low, base and high price cases.
Project planning: contracts, contractors and service delivery
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Comparing project planning with recognised practice
- Reduce the variation in how solar and wind project planning is carried out between teams.
- Verify isolation points for project planning are proven and documented.
- Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on solar and wind project planning.
- Draft the minimum viable operating procedure for project planning.
Session 2Getting other functions to support solar and wind project planning
- Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on solar and wind project planning.
- Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to project planning.
- Remove steps in solar and wind project planning that add effort without adding assurance.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in project planning.
Project planning: process safety, permits and isolation
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Holding contractors on project planning to the standard you hold yourself
- Close out actions on solar and wind project planning rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Set the review interval for project planning and who attends.
- Define the safe operating envelope for solar and wind project planning and how deviations are detected.
- Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios project planning can create.
Session 2Making project planning work when resources are constrained
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of solar and wind project planning current.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates project planning is under control.
- Establish the alarm philosophy applying to solar and wind project planning and remove nuisance alarms.
- Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to project planning.
