   Kestrel Power's pitch is that you aren't buying a maintenance checklist, you're buying the energy your plant produces. The Power Production Management (PPM) contract makes Kestrel accountable for the energy a site produces, not for completing a maintenance checklist [13]. It's priced at $7,500 per MW per year, roughly double legacy O&M (operations and maintenance) at $3,500 to $4,000 per MW per year [14]. The market shows the gap in accountability. The largest US O&M contractor sells checklist maintenance at about $3,500 per MW per year with availability guarantees, not energy guarantees. The incumbent monitoring vendor sells dashboards and alarms but takes no responsibility for what a plant produces [11]. Kestrel's PPM guarantees 98% weather-adjusted energy produced, so you aren't paying for activity [11]. That accountability matters because sites are underperforming. The Q3 2026 board deck says sites under Kestrel's care run at 93% to 95% availability against the 98% they were financed on [5]. Every point of that gap is lost energy, and lost revenue for the owner. The March overview described moving a site from roughly 93% to roughly 99% availability [16]. Kestrel's technicians are also cross-trained for HV/MV (high- and medium-voltage) work, and its software and field team work as one loop. The deck says no competitor offers all three under one contract: energy accountability, cross-trained technicians, and software working with the field team [11]. There is also room to earn more from the same site. The base price stays at $7,500 per MW per year, and with the upside items (bonus capture and software) a site can reach $9,250 per MW per year [6]. So the premium pays for a single party that owns the outcome, rather than for a vendor that completes tasks. One caution on how far to push the case. The 99% figure comes from the March investor overview. The more recent board deck reports 93% to 95% availability at sites under Kestrel's care, which is below the 98% target [5][16]. I'd lead with the accountability structure rather than a promised result.
