World's first utility scale 110 megawatt molten salt solar energy facility
The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy facility in Nevada and the worlds first utility-scale plant to feature advanced molten salt power tower energy storage capabilities. The project delivers 110 megawatts of electricity plus 1,100 megawatt-hours of energy storage powering 75,000 homes day or night. Originally due to complete in 2013 it entered into commercial operation in June 2016.
Brief
Claim evaluation and preparation.
What we did
Embedded with an augmented the Group Cobra commercial team. A detailed review of the draft delay analysis was undertaken to identify strengths, weaknesses and recommended changes to maximise the opportunity to settle the claim in commercial negotiations. Provided contractual and claims management support through to project completion.
Having submitted the delay analysis and revised claim for internal review we were retained to support the commercial team develop the quantum claim.
Outcomes
HKA assisted Grupo Cobra to investigate subcontractor claims for delays, alleged changes and disruption. HKA prepared for and participated in several mediation sessions for a number of subcontract claim matters, assisting Grupo Cobra to receive favourable settlements.
