Energy commissioning software for wind, solar, and BESS
Wind farms, solar parks, and BESS facilities hand over to long-term O&M operators. The O&M contract starts on Day 1. The documentation - maintenance procedures, grid connection records, OEM sign-offs, spare parts strategy - is typically still being assembled when the operator arrives.
CxPlanner connects commissioning records from every OEM and subcontractor to the O&M handover package throughout the project, so the documentation is complete before the operator shows up.
Used by owners and O&M operators to track multi-OEM commissioning and handover readiness across wind, solar, and BESS projects.
The O&M operator inherits a commissioned asset and a documentation problem.
Commissioning records from four parties arrive in four formats with no asset structure.
Turbine OEM sign-offs. Electrical subcontractor test results. Grid connection records. Civil certificates. Each arrives separately, in the format that party uses, filed by contractor. The O&M operator receives a shared drive and spends the first months building the documentation structure the project should have built.
Grid connection sign-offs are tracked in email - outside the commissioning record.
Protection relay test results and energisation records are managed across email threads with no connection to any commissioning platform. When the O&M operator asks for the complete grid connection history, someone has to locate the emails, find the attachments, and assemble a record.
O&M procedures are written after the operator arrives, not before.
Maintenance routines and emergency procedures for turbines, inverters, and BESS systems are consistently left until the O&M period. Not reviewed against actual system behaviour. Delivered to operators who are already expected to be running a live facility.
Multi-OEM commissioning records and O&M documentation built in one place.
Energy commissioning software for wind, solar, and BESS projects runs in CxPlanner alongside the operational readiness programme.
Turbine OEM commissioning, electrical subcontractor check-sheets, and grid connection sign-offs all run in one platform. Grid connection milestones are tracked as commissioning gates - protection relay test results and DNO approvals attached to the assets they cover, part of the commissioning history the O&M operator navigates post-handover.
O&M procedures and maintenance routines are written and reviewed inside CxPlanner as a parallel workstream alongside renewable energy commissioning - tracked against schedule milestones, linked to the assets they cover, complete before the O&M contract begins.
What CxPlanner covers in energy and renewables operational readiness
A unified record, not four parties' paperwork
Turbine OEM, electrical, and civil scope managed in CxPlanner. Each party contributes directly - no separate submissions to reconcile. The O&M operator navigates a unified record, not four parties' separate documentation.
Navigate to the turbine, inverter, or cable circuit
Every test result, O&M manual, and sign-off linked to the specific asset it covers. The O&M engineer navigates to the asset - not to a shared drive folder.
Part of the record from the day of sign-off
Protection relay results, DNO sign-offs, and energisation approvals tracked as commissioning gates. The complete grid connection record is part of the energy commissioning software history from the day each sign-off is completed.
Complete before the O&M contract begins
Maintenance routines and emergency procedures written, reviewed, and approved inside CxPlanner as a parallel workstream. Complete before the O&M contract begins - not started after the operator arrives.
Battery storage requirements in the same record
Energisation milestones, protection relay testing, and grid integration sign-offs for battery storage within the same commissioning record. The specific requirements for BESS commissioning are part of the asset history the O&M team inherits.
What the O&M handover looks like when it is built throughout the project
The O&M operator receives a package they can use on the first day of the contract.
Asset-linked, searchable documentation navigable by component. The O&M engineer finds the maintenance procedure for a specific turbine gearbox in seconds - not after working through 200 unstructured PDFs. The package is complete because it was built as the project progressed.
Grid connection history is in the commissioning record - not in a former team member's inbox.
When the O&M operator needs to confirm protection relay settings six months into the contract, the answer is in CxPlanner - linked to the specific asset, timestamped, attached to the original test record.
Day 1 generation performance is a target the project tracks.
O&M procedures, spare parts strategy, and operator readiness run alongside commissioning. When the programme closes and the O&M contract begins, readiness is complete.

What makes operational readiness different for energy and renewables projects?
The O&M contract starts on Day 1 - documentation, maintenance baselines, and training need to be complete before handover, not developed during the early O&M period. The multi-OEM structure also creates a documentation challenge: turbine manufacturer, electrical subcontractor, civil contractor, and grid connection team each contribute records that need to form a coherent history.
How does CxPlanner handle turbine OEM commissioning requirements?
OEM commissioning checklists run inside CxPlanner alongside the project scope. OEM representatives complete sign-off records in the same platform the O&M operator will use post-handover - not in a separate document to integrate at project close.
How are grid connection milestones tracked in CxPlanner?
Protection relay results, DNO sign-offs, and energisation approvals are tracked as commissioning gates inside CxPlanner - linked to the assets they cover. The complete grid connection record is part of the commissioning history from the day each sign-off is completed.
Does CxPlanner support BESS commissioning and operational readiness?
Yes. Energisation milestones, protection relay testing, grid integration sign-offs, and documentation requirements for BESS commissioning are managed within CxPlanner. The OR programme for a BESS facility runs on the same platform as the commissioning work.
