(i) www.seia.org/research-resources/solar-market-insight-report-2017-q3 A “bankable” EPC contract is an agreement between the EPC contractor and the developer, which defines a risk allocation profile for the construction of a project that meets the requirements of the lender or lender. As explained below, lenders and equity investors are primarily concerned about whether or not the CPR contractor can claim additional costs or extensions of time under the EPC contract. In addition, it concerns the ability of the CEP holder to meet its obligations under the EC Treaty and the guarantee that the CEP contractor or its parent company has provided to ensure its performance. These elements should be at the forefront for each developer, as the more the terms of the EPC contract come from the requirements of lenders or investors, the more the developer must provide equity support for his project. The cornerstone of any bankrupt solar project is a duly negotiated EPC contract. Ideally, the above checklist provides solar project proponents with a framework for creating a bankable EPC contract that attracts lenders and participation partners by mitigating the most significant risks in large solar projects, while centralizing responsibility for addressing many of the perceived challenges associated with a large solar project with the EPC contractor. iii www.solarbankability.org/fileadmin/sites/www/files/documents/2nd_presentation_SolarBankability_Webinar_20161122_3E.pdf The construction of a large solar facility requires a large number of permits and permits issued by government and supervisory authorities, including land use and shingles, building permits, federal and regional permits and environmental permits. The EPC contractor should remain responsible for obtaining and maintaining the vast majority of the necessary authorizations and authorizations. The EPC contractor should be required to obtain not only the authorizations and authorizations on his own behalf, but also the necessary authorizations on behalf of the project company.
