Sol Associates
Position as at 22 October 2026
Before I look at a unit rate on a wind balance-of-plant package, I read the interface matrix.
Three questions come first.
Who signs the site-readiness certificate for each turbine position, and against what checklist? Where there is none, readiness becomes a dispute.
What happens to a delivery slot the site is not ready for? Depending on the contract, the manufacturer may be able to reallocate it to another project, and the delay may not stay a delay.
Which law governs which contract? Check the governing law, dispute forum, contract language and interface obligations in each agreement; they may differ. I would want them aligned before signing.
A sharper rate does not repair a gap in any of these. Depending on the contract terms, a contractor who cannot show a ready road, pad and foundation on the agreed date can carry crane standby and part of the owner's liquidated damages.
Generic practice, not any manufacturer's specification. General information, not investment, legal or regulatory advice; confirm requirements for your own scope. The eight packages are laid out here: https://sol-associates.ro/epc/wind-bop-explorer/
