- Review technical requirements of PPA to guide negotiation and project risks
- Identify production and design levers to quantify risk and opportunities on project development and profitability
- Lead technical bid preparation and ensure team deliverables meet bid requirements
- Help assess PV+S design and dispatch optimization that meets off-taker needs
Project Optimization Efforts:
