Course Description
Major grid and power projects — substations, transmission lines, and network reinforcements worth millions of pounds — are typically delivered under Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts. Understanding EPC contracting, its risk allocation, and its commercial and regulatory context is essential for anyone bidding, awarding, or delivering these high-value projects.
This course brings together contract management, regulatory frameworks, and commercial and legal issues specific to power and grid EPC projects. Participants learn the structure of EPC contracts, risk allocation between owner and contractor, the tendering and award process, and the practical issues EPC contractors face on power projects every day — equipping them to navigate large power and grid tenders and contracts.

- Explain the structure and purpose of EPC contracts
