Specialist for the renegotiation of existing contracts

Many lease agreements for wind turbines were concluded in the 1990s and early 2000s – at conditions that no longer reflect today’s market. Increased yields in the meantime, new turbine technologies and changed remuneration models now offer considerable potential for renegotiation. ENACOM analyzes existing contracts, evaluates the potential and takes over the renegotiation with the operator – legally compliant and based on current market data.

Frequently asked questions about contract management with ENACOM

Answers to the most important questions about lease agreements, renegotiations and contract support.
We handle lease agreements with landowners, grid connection and feed-in agreements, easements, permission agreements for access routes and cable routes as well as amendment and supplementary agreements to existing contracts.
Renegotiations make sense if contracts are more than ten years old and the remuneration has not been adjusted to the yield development of the system. Old contracts from the 1990s and early 2000s in particular often no longer reflect today’s yields. There is also a need for adjustment in the event of repowering, lifetime extensions or if new turbines are to be erected at an existing site. ENACOM assesses the potential free of charge and can handle the entire negotiation process on request.
Yes, we provide contract management support both in the development phase and for ongoing turbines that are already in operation. A complete contract review and adjustment is necessary, particularly in the case of changes of operator or repowering projects.
Lease agreements for wind power projects typically have terms of 25 to 30 years, and 20 to 25 years for ground-mounted PV systems. ENACOM pays attention to market conditions and clear regulations for extension options, the right of withdrawal and the obligation to dismantle.
Yes, and that is the most efficient solution. If ENACOM takes over both site security and contract management, there is no need to hand over between different service providers. Owners have one point of contact from the first meeting to the conclusion of the contract.
The conditions depend on the scope and complexity of the contract portfolio and the project phase. For an initial assessment, the first meeting is free of charge and non-binding. We prepare an individual offer based on an analysis of the current situation.
