Description
As the first wave of utility-scale solar projects reaches 10-20 years of operation, asset owners face increasingly complex decisions around performance, risk, and long-term value. This session will combine strategic and financial perspectives to explore when to repair, repower, decommission, or hold assets, factoring in climate risk, insurance constraints, interconnection value, and evolving market economics. Panelists will share real-world case studies and cost models, offering actionable insights into decommissioning and repowering costs, key decision drivers, and how policy, siting, and salvage opportunities shape end-of-life strategies.
