Renewable Energy Claims & Emerging Risks
Overview & Audience
As the transition toward renewable energy accelerates, organisations are encountering a rapidly evolving landscape of technical, contractual and financial risks. This session brings together leading experts to explore the claims environment across major renewable projects, with practical insights into the root causes of failures, dispute trends and emerging challenges across wind, solar and broader energy transition infrastructure.
Through real-world case studies, engineering analysis and legal perspectives, the discussion will highlight patterns in renewable energy claims, common failure modes, the complexities of dispute resolution, and lessons learned from significant projects across Australia, the US and internationally.
Key themes
- Technical failures in solar, wind turbine and battery storage assets
- War stories and real‑world examples from global claims
- Disputes arising from renewable and energy-transition projects
- Arbitration trends, particularly in wind farm disputes
- Broader emerging risk considerations for multinationals operating in Australia
- Quantum issues from a legal and technical perspective – including the art and science of delay analysis
