Use Case How VComply Supports Compliance in Renewable Energy
VComply helps renewable energy teams manage the full range of compliance obligations. The platform streamlines NERC reliability standards, FERC filings, EPA emissions reporting, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and state-level permit and license renewals — all while maintaining accurate records for audits and regulatory filings. With an automated, structured system, compliance teams eliminate the chaos of spreadsheets and manual trackers, staying audit-ready and focusing on proactive risk management instead of administrative tasks.
Manage Regulatory Requirements Across Sites, Assets, and Energy Operations
Compliance Officers, Asset Managers, EHS and Quality teams, and Operations leaders share responsibility for keeping each site compliant with NERC, FERC, EPA, and other regulations. Without the right system, compliance data is scattered across teams and locations, leaving managers without real-time visibility.
They spend more time chasing updates in spreadsheets and emails than addressing issues or reducing risk. Missed GADS submissions, late emissions reports, expired interconnection agreements, or overlooked permit renewals can lead to fines, delays, and lost revenue.
From Spreadsheets to Systematic Compliance in Renewable Energy
Compliance Activities Tracking & Policy Management
A leading renewable energy developer once managed hundreds of time-sensitive compliance tasks — permit renewals, license expirations, emissions tracking, interconnection reviews — through sprawling spreadsheets. With VComply, they now:
Organize compliance controls by type: environmental permits, facility licenses, framework filings (FERC, NERC, EPA), and site-level reporting
Automate reminders and escalations for annual permit renewals, quarterly emissions logs, and contract milestone reviews
Gain real-time visibility into task status, evidence, and deadlines — cutting manual tracking hours
Centralize policies and documents for quick access, periodic updates, and compliance reviews
Manage Contract Compliance across Multiple Sites & Assets
Another company managing over 300 renewable energy projects across multiple asset managers lacked oversight and needed clearer visibility into contract compliance across sites. They wanted to view compliance status at every level — by manager, by project, and organization-wide. With VComply, they now:
Get multi-layered reports on compliance performance by manager, project, and activity type
Assign responsibility with clear oversight, defined escalation paths, and robust access controls
Eliminate data silos by unifying tracking and replacing disconnected tools with one platform.
Multi-Location Compliance Management
For a multinational renewable energy operator, compliance requirements varied by site. Each location faced its own environmental (e.g., emissions reporting), safety, and operational regulations, and manual tracking led to critical gaps. They turned to VComply to:
Standardize how compliance controls are defined, assigned, and documented with local flexibility
Ensure consistent adoption of SOPs, safety protocols, and environmental controls across sites
Apply location-specific frameworks, like state reporting formats or local permit requirements
Give HQ and regional managers clear oversight into site compliance without manual roll-ups
