Performance claims turn on testing, operating regime and what the warranty actually guaranteed. Our engineers address each separately.
This is one of the specialisms within our energy expert witness practice.
In energy & power, the difference between a strong case and a weak one often comes down to whether the expert truly understands the sector. Generalist opinion rarely survives scrutiny on specialist questions, and a tribunal gives little weight to evidence that misreads how energy & power actually works. We focus here precisely because the issues are technical, the stakes are high, and the wrong expert is an expensive mistake.

FAQ
Common questions
What does a power plant performance and availability expert witness do?
They give independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on power plant performance and availability issues within energy & power, with an overriding duty to the court under CPR Part 35. The opinion usually takes the form of a written report and, where required, oral evidence.
When should I instruct a power plant performance and availability expert?
As soon as the issues are clear. Early instruction helps you test the strengths and weaknesses of the case, scope the evidence proportionately and avoid a rushed report against a deadline.
How do you select experts for power plant performance and availability matters?
On substance: relevant qualifications, genuine energy & power experience and an understanding of an expert's duties in litigation and arbitration. Where an expert has limited experience of giving evidence, we say so.
