Decommissioning bond
Ensure Financial Security for the Decommissioning of Your Solar Park
Planning the entire lifecycle of your solar park also includes a crucial phase: decommissioning.
A decommissioning bond ensures financial security and full compliance during this final step.
What is a Decommissioning Bond?
A decommissioning bond is a financial assurance that ensures a solar park is properly dismantled and the site is restored at the end of its operational life.
These guarantees provide certainty that the solar park will be decommissioned in accordance with environmental regulations and contractual obligations.
The Challenge of Obtaining a Decommissioning Bond
Decommissioning bonds are difficult to secure due to their long-term nature and reliance on the applicant’s financial strength.
A rigorous assessment ensures only financially solid applicants qualify.
How Does a Decommissioning Bond Work?
A decommissioning bond is an agreement between:
- You, the Principal, who’s responsible for the decommissioning of the park.
- The Beneficiary, the party requiring the guarantee.
- The Guarantor, the insurer providing the guarantee.
If you fail to decommission the solar park as required, the guarantor will cover the costs up to the guaranteed amount.
