Let AI Read Your PPA: How AI4EPC Turns a 1-Week Review into a 1-Hour Insight
How the AI4EPC agent turns a 300-page weekend PPA review into a 1-hour, fully mapped risk brief.

Our AI4EPC agent can scan the PPA and provide clear guidelines on which clauses and issues deserve our serious attention.

A few days ago, I received a 300-page PPA on a Friday afternoon, with a request to give comments by Monday. In a traditional EPC company, this usually means a long weekend for the commercial and legal teams: printing the document, reading line by line, highlighting risks, sending emails back and forth. Very often, people are too tired to see everything clearly, and some important details only appear after the bid is already submitted.

This time, we dropped the PPA into the AI4EPC agent. In less than an hour, it had scanned every clause and produced a clear, structured brief:

  • a risk map of key topics like change in law, curtailment, grid connection, force majeure, termination and penalties;
  • a list of clauses that deviated from standard market practice;
  • suggested questions and negotiation points to send to the client.

Instead of spending days just figuring out “what might be dangerous here?”, our legal assistant opened a 3-page summary and went straight to the real work: how do we protect our position, and how do we still stay competitive in the tender?

In that specific PPA, the AI4EPC agent highlighted a hidden combination of penalty and availability clauses that, if accepted as-is, could have locked us into a very unfavourable risk–reward balance for the next 20 years. Because it was clearly flagged in the summary, we raised it immediately, adjusted our technical and commercial assumptions, and built the risk into our pricing and negotiation strategy.

The result: we met the client’s deadline without weekend overtime, reduced review time from about one week to one hour, and went into the tender with much clearer visibility on our real risk exposure. That is exactly the type of outcome we want AI4EPC to create—less time drowning in documents, more time designing a better deal.

This saves us a lot of time and cost, and allows our legal assistants to focus directly on solving problems instead of first sorting out what we should pay attention to.
