Choose the right perspective
Match the person's portfolio type to yours, since utility-scale fleets and mixed solar, wind and storage portfolios raise different operating and contract questions. Also consider whether you need someone who ran the work hands-on as an asset manager or someone who led an asset management team.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you track and explain the gap between expected and actual energy output across a solar portfolio?
- 02How do you set up and manage O&M contracts so contractors are held to performance targets?
- 03What does a good handover from construction to long-term asset management look like?
