Availability and performance guarantees are becoming increasingly popular options for solar plant owners seeking to reduce risk and ensure their financial returns, but what are they and how do they work? We’ve brought together experts from Algonquin Liberty Power, DNV, and Borrego who will share their perspectives and real-world experiences with availability and performance guarantees. They’ll also cover the benefits and challenges for IPPs, unregulated utility subsidiaries, and other solar asset owners and operators.
Moderated by Teresa Dillon, O&M technical sales account manager at Borrego, the webinar featured panelists Ian MacRobbie, VP operations at Algonquin Liberty Power and Kristine Sinclair, team lead for utility solar due diligence in DNV’s solar independent engineering (IE) group, and Borrego’s own Bradley Hibberd, Director of O&M Engineering Services.

From field positions to the C-suite, women are underrepresented in renewables.
So how can solar, wind and energy storage companies recruit more women and provide more opportunities for women to grow and lead?
Join fellow industry leaders from Borrego and Nextracker and DEI experts Collective for an engaging discussion about the most relevant best practices for recruiting, retaining and fostering growth opportunities for women in the renewables industry. They will provide real-world examples of employee and company-led initiatives to drive diversity, equity, and inclusion across your organization.
Webinar now available on demand.
In case you missed it, our latest webinar is now available on demand. Designed for developers and operators and led by an all-star lineup of industry experts from Estuary Power, Silicon Ranch, EDP Renewables, and DNV, we discussed the key considerations about which O&M parts and services should be planned during development — and why all this needs to be thought through so early.
One of our goals was to cover the technical insights about which O&M parts and services are needed to help you avoid potential costly headaches and downtime that would impact long-term value. In addition, we covered:
• How to close the loop between O&M and solar development
• How to avoid fumbling the EPC to O&M handoff during commissioning
• Key O&M factors impacting solar plant performance including inadequate spares, excessive truck rolls, extreme weather, aerial inspection, and monitoring
