Commercial Agreements

We support energy developers and digital infrastructure clients in structuring commercial
agreements that define how energy is delivered, priced, and sustained over the life of a project.
These agreements form the backbone of any successful power development, aligning technical
performance with financial outcomes and operational expectations.

Our role is to help ensure each contract reflects the unique dynamics of power generation and
digital infrastructure, whether that means structuring a fuel supply agreement for dispatchable
thermal assets, negotiating a power purchase agreement in Canada, or securing long-term
electricity delivery under strict uptime guarantees.

Electricity Agreements

We help structure electricity agreements that align with data centre demand profiles and

reliability expectations. These include behind-the-fence energy sales agreements, bilateral

power purchase agreements, tolling arrangements, energy offtake agreements, and capacity

reservation models. Each structure accounts for delivery obligations, outage handling,

performance guarantees, escalation mechanisms, and optionality for renewable integration.


Electricity contracts also address interconnection coordination, delivery voltage, reactive power

requirements, and coordination with grid codes or ISO market participation. Where needed, we

incorporate grid backup pricing, load shedding protocols, and priority restoration clauses to

support Tier 3 or Tier 4 uptime levels.


Fuel Supply Agreements

Fuel supply agreements are structured around the specific needs of thermal generation assets,

including engines and turbines. We assist in securing firm or interruptible gas supply with

appropriate delivery pressure, transport rights, balancing terms, and seasonal variability. We

also evaluate contracts for cost certainty, hedging mechanisms, and fuel quality standards that

impact generator performance and emissions compliance.


Where generation assets are tied to third-party midstream infrastructure, we help negotiate tie-in

agreements, metering protocols, and operational flexibility to align fuel availability with expected

dispatch hours.


Contract Integration and Risk Allocation

We coordinate the alignment between fuel and power contracts to ensure there are no

commercial mismatches. This includes managing volume risk, curtailment provisions, price

pass-through mechanics, and change-in-law protections. Our focus is on securing clear terms

that define who carries what risk and how the system behaves during operational exceptions.


Stakeholder Coordination and Commercial Negotiation

We support developers and data centre clients through commercial negotiations with utilities,

pipeline operators, offtakers, and service providers. Our energy consulting experience in both

generation and digital infrastructure helps ensure commercial terms are balanced, enforceable,

and tailored to the unique priorities of uptime-critical facilities.


Flexibility and Long-Term Optionality

All agreements are structured with future evolution in mind. Whether integrating renewables,

transitioning fuel types, or expanding capacity over time, we ensure the commercial framework

can adapt without unraveling the core terms of the deal.
