Renewable Energy Project Contracts

This online course provides a structured introduction to the contracts that underpin renewable energy project finance, from development to operation. You will explore typical project structures, understand how risk is allocated among sponsors, lenders, and other stakeholders, and see how contracts shape bankability in international markets.

Participants learn about the main types of project agreements—such as construction, operation and maintenance, and offtake contracts—and how they interact from a financier’s perspective. The course highlights key clauses, risk mitigation mechanisms, and legal considerations that are essential to meeting the requirements of commercial banks, development finance institutions, and investors. By the end, you will be able to draft, review, and assess contract packages that support robust project finance structures and reduce exposure for equity and debt providers.

Designed for professionals involved in renewable energy project development, finance, legal support, and policy, this flexible online training helps you deepen your practical skills alongside your day-to-day work. You will gain actionable insights you can directly apply to ongoing or upcoming renewable energy projects, strengthening both your technical confidence and your position in project negotiations.
