Engaging EPCs for Climate Project Deployment, Part 1: When (and How) to Get It Right

​For most climate founders, engaging an EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) firm is one of the most consequential… and least understood… decisions in the deployment journey. Who are they, what do they do, how much do they cost, and how do you actually work with them?

​With an EPC, you’re signing up for a partner who will engineer, procure and construct your first commercial project. Get it right and you accelerate by years. Get it wrong and you’ve burned capital, time, and possibly your relationship with your offtaker.

​This is Part 1 of a new two-parter in our Enduring Planet & Friends Financing Series, sponsored by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.

​📖 Engaging EPCs for Climate Project Deployment, Pt 1

​📅 Thursday, June 25th

​🕙 10:00 – 11:30 AM PT// 1:00 – 2:30 PM ET

​The session will be moderated by Hannah Friedman (Lupine Finance).

Speakers TBA shortly.

​Part I is about getting it right. We’ll dig into:

• ​What EPCs actually do — and the critical difference between E and PC

• ​When to engage and what level of readiness they need from you

• ​How to budget, negotiate, and understand your EPC’s risk model

• ​Case studies of when the EPC relationship made a project

• ​How the relationship evolves from FOAK to all projects in the pipeline

​Part II (coming soon in future months) will flip the lens: When does the traditional EPC model not always fit? What can emerging tech enable in the E/PC process, and what does it takes to go your own way?

The event will be recorded and shared with a tear-down. Register to receive the day-of zoom and recording links, and subscribe to our calendar for updates on future events.
