When contractors apply for construction bonds, sureties assess the risk associated with approving them for the requested amount.

Contractors seldom think of surety bonds as strategic tools, yet the right bonding program can determine whether a 100-MW solar farm or a 250-MW wind park reaches commercial operation—and whether it is responsibly removed decades later at the end of its useful life. Because renewable assets “live” far longer than the construction schedule, bonding obligations evolve over time. This article outlines the bonds most often required on utility-scale and large commercial and industrial projects (roughly 10 MW to 500 MW), with pointers on how contractors can stay ahead of the curve. For a broader overview of how surety bonds support renewable projects from development to decommissioning, see our guide on surety bonds in renewable energy projects.

Decommissioning bonds play a crucial role in the renewable energy sector in the United States, ensuring the responsible management of renewable energy projects throughout their lifecycle. They guarantee funds will be available for the eventual decommissioning and site restoration of renewable energy facilities at the end of their operational lives. Here’s an in-depth look at the history and significance of decommissioning bonds in the U.S. renewable energy sector.
