Solar EPC Term
NTP
Notice to Proceed
NTP is the formal authorization from a customer or prime contractor that gives the EPC permission to begin work on a project. It is a major milestone that shifts responsibility and often triggers scheduling and procurement activities.
Missing or delayed NTP documentation can stall an entire project pipeline. In a multi-project portfolio, tracking NTP status manually across spreadsheets and email threads is a common source of confusion.
The Ops Supervisor can include NTP status in its weekly digest, ensuring every stakeholder knows which projects are cleared for construction.
