Direct answer
An Energy Project Interface & Risk Audit is an independent owner-side review before tender, contract award, financial close or major recommitment. Definova examines where generation, storage, grid, civil works, controls, OT cybersecurity, commissioning and commercial responsibilities meet, then converts unresolved gaps into an accountable action plan.
Audit scope
Decision-grade outputs
Independent by design
The audit can stand alone before procurement or become the first gate of owner’s engineering, EPCM or integrated delivery. Findings are evidence-led and project-specific; the audit does not certify performance or replace statutory, lender or specialist approvals.
Frequently asked questions
When should the audit be commissioned?
Before tender issue, bid comparison, contract award, financial close, notice to proceed or recovery of a delayed project.
Does the audit replace detailed engineering or due diligence?
No. It identifies unresolved interfaces and evidence gaps, then defines which engineering, commercial, legal, lender or specialist reviews are required.
Can an existing EPC package be reviewed?
Yes. Drawings, specifications, responsibility matrices, schedules, studies, contracts and acceptance plans can be reviewed against the project’s stated outcomes.
The right next step
Define the need through outcome, site, grid, process, timing and risk—not an equipment list. Definova uses the first conversation to clarify critical interfaces and the required decision path.
