Drafting comprehensive Power Purchase Agreements manually requires extensive research across multiple regulatory sources, industry standards from organizations like NREL and EFET, and careful coordination of complex pricing mechanisms and compliance requirements. Energy attorneys spend 6-8 hours per PPA navigating technical definitions, force majeure clauses, and jurisdiction-specific regulations while ensuring alignment with World Bank and industry best practices.
Power Purchase Agreements require extensive legal expertise, balancing complex commercial terms with strict regulatory compliance across 50+ essential clauses. Traditional PPA drafting takes 12-20 hours of attorney time, risking inconsistencies, missing industry-standard provisions, and costly delays in closing energy transactions.
CaseMark automates PPA creation by analyzing your project documents and applying current industry standards from NREL, EFET, and regulatory authorities. Generate complete, professionally structured agreements with balanced terms, regulatory compliance, and market-standard clauses in under 30 minutes.
