Kimberlee Centera Reveals Risk Mitigation Best Practices for Utility-Scale Power Projects
"A lot of projects are ready to be built. The gating item is collaboration."
SAN DIEGO, December 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With more than 24 GW of projects and a total financed value exceeding $25 billion to her credit, Kimberlee Centera, CEO of TerraPro Solutions, brings more than 30 years of hard-won perspective to the risks that quietly determine whether a utility-scale power project succeeds or stalls. In the latest episode of Navigating the Grid, Centera joins host Kellie Macpherson, Executive Vice President of Compliance & Security at Radian Generation, for a candid conversation about what really makes or breaks utility-scale power projects.
For developers, asset managers, and investors, the discussion is a practical field guide to the real-world obstacles that surface along the development continuum — and how to get ahead of them before capital is committed.
De-Risk the Project Before You Build It
Drawing on three decades guiding projects through every imaginable obstacle, Centera walks through the risk factors that matter most:
- Transmission risk and land rights
- Why communication failures delay projects
- How to de-risk renewable developments before capital is committed
- The realities of permitting across counties and state lines
- How to build trust with landowners, regulators, and stakeholders
- Why "transmission isn't sexy" — but it's mission-critical
The episode also turns to leadership and mentorship — and how transparency, collaboration, and uncompromising integrity can open pathways for women and future leaders across renewable energy.
"Utility-scale power projects are complex, capital-intensive, and highly regulated. Risk identification and mitigation at every stage of development is essential to project bankability and success."
— Kimberlee Centera, CEO, TerraPro Solutions
A Must-Listen for Anyone Navigating Project Risk
Despite the industry's rapid growth, few resources translate the intricacies of power project risk management into actionable, repeatable processes. This conversation helps fill that gap, offering a clear-eyed look at navigating complex project development during turbulent times.
"This is a must-listen conversation for developers, asset managers, investors, and anyone navigating risk in utility-scale power, transmission planning, and infrastructure development."
— Kellie Macpherson, EVP, Compliance & Security, Radian Generation
