Webinar: Designing for decades – lessons from the field for long-term renewable energy project success

As the global demand for power grows, meeting that demand with renewable energy projects means they must be built to last. Developing a project that performs reliably for decades requires more than great technology — it demands rigorous design, disciplined construction practices, regular site evaluation, proactive long-term asset management, and seamless transitions through lifecycle phases.

In this webinar, industry leaders from Enertis Applus+, Radian Generation, and SolarGrade come together to share examples of common and, often avoidable, construction mistakes and field failures. From early design stages through long-term asset performance management, each speaker will provide valuable insights into how to reduce risk and improve long-term project value.

Join industry experts, Colin Caufield, Director Business Development, Enertis Applus+; Ed Johnson, Director, Owner’s Engineering, Enertis Applus+; Erin Kivlehan, SVP, Asset Management, Radian Generation; and David Peñalva, CEO, SolarGrade on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. ET to explore key aspects of building a renewable energy project that can stand the test of time.

After the webinar you will have learned:

• How design standards and quality control unlock profitable long-term asset operations
• Ways to avoid the costliest PV construction defects
• Data-driven approaches for benchmarking subcontractor performance

Who should attend:

• Renewable energy project developers
• Engineering, procurement and construction companies (EPCs)
• Investors and financers
• Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
• Equipment suppliers
• Contractors
