In this episode of Navigating the Grid, Kellie sits down with Bryan Villano, Co-Founder of Contract Power, to explore how AI is reshaping contract management, compliance, and day-to-day asset management for renewable energy portfolios.

Bryan shares the origin story of Contract Power — launched during the early days of generative AI — and explains how his experience managing massive, complex projects exposed the overwhelming burden of navigating thousands of pages of PPAs, ISO documents, tariffs, and regulatory requirements.

Together, Kellie and Bryan dive into the real risks asset managers face: buried obligations, inconsistent contract language, 14,000-page document stacks, and high-stakes deadlines that make it nearly impossible to juggle contractual compliance with operational fires.

Bryan walks through how tools like Fleet Sense and Clause Sense streamline obligation extraction, summarize metadata across entire portfolios, and give teams confidence that nothing slips through the cracks.

If you’re an asset manager, developer, or anyone responsible for contract oversight in renewables, this conversation will resonate — and show you what’s possible when AI meets the realities of project operations.
