Today we’re sharing a real and especially relevant case study in the energy sector that’s worth taking note of. An independent power producer (IPP), after months of negotiation, signs a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) that seems secure and thoroughly reviewed. Several departments have gone through it carefully, and everything seems to be in order. Or so it seems.

Shortly after, the contract reaches the Asset Management team — a group overwhelmed with work managing multiple energy projects, some of them already riddled with serious issues that drain time and resources.

Amid this chaos and poorly optimized contract management processes, a clause goes unnoticed. Buried deep in the document, far from the first few pages, lies a single sentence capable of putting a multimillion-dollar energy operation at serious risk.

Want to know what happened, where the mistakes piled up, and how it ended? And more importantly, how we make sure nothing like this happens in future energy projects?
