Keeping Renewable Energy Projects on Track: Managing Construction and Operational Risks

As the UK renewable energy market continues to evolve, developers, investors, contractors and funders face increasing challenges across both the construction and operational phases of projects.

From grid connection constraints, supply chain pressures and cost inflation to technology performance, asset reliability and operational resilience, effective risk management is critical to successful project delivery and long-term asset performance.

In this joint breakfast seminar, Clyde & Co and Rimkus will explore the key risks affecting solar, wind and battery energy storage (BESS) projects throughout their lifecycle. Drawing on recent projects, technical investigations and disputes resolution experience, our speakers will discuss lessons learned from construction and operational challenges, including contractor performance, defects, commissioning issues, technology and obsolescence risks, site selection, natural catastrophe exposure and evolving market dynamics.

Combining legal and technical perspectives, the session will provide practical insights and strategies to help stakeholders identify, manage and mitigate risk, reduce the likelihood of disputes, and position projects for successful delivery and operation in a changing market.
