Contract Implementation Tracking Service
Contract Implementation Tracker (CIT)… Bringing Contracts to Life
Advancing the intersection of Energy Access, Energy Justice, and the Energy Transition—from paper to performance. Give life to your contracts with end-to-end tracking, monitoring, and compliance—so projects deliver on time, on budget, and with justice at the centre.
Why CIT (the problem we solve)
Legal agreements are too often static PDFs that get forgotten once projects kick off. The result? Missed milestones, slow renegotiations, compliance gaps, and weak evidence for decision-making.
CIT solves common contract management challenges by:
- Saving time and costs
- Reducing contract breaches and claims
- Increasing performance of contractual obligations
- Enabling seamless negotiation & renegotiation with an auditable trail
- Promoting evidence-based negotiations using live performance data
- Visualising contracts for better decision-making
- Tracking performance for M&E with performance dashboards and exportable reports
- Driving sustainability and accountability (less paper, smaller footprint)

- 1. Community Benefits Agreements- Enabling just and equitable transitions through community engagement
The Community Benefit Agreement (CBA) Implementation Tracker has been developed by Electricity Lawyer, to enable just and equitable energy transitions in resource-rich regions. The tool provides a robust framework to assess and maximize socio-economic benefits for communities during the implementation of clean energy projects.
The CBA tool embeds justice principles including:
- Procedural Justice: Targeted, effective community engagement, making participation visible and trackable.
- Distributive Justice: Fair distribution of resources and benefits, with data to verify it.
- Recognition Justice: Recognising communities as stakeholders, embedding commitments and touch points in the contract plan.
The CBA tool promotes productive use cases of energy in community settings to strengthen livelihoods.
The CBA tool supports corporate CSR targets with measurable outcomes.
2. Community Development Agreements (Footprints)- Community at the centre of carbon and clean energy
The Community Development Agreement (CDA) implementation Tracker is a monitoring tool tailored for Community Development Agreements (CDAs) in carbon and clean energy projects. The tool promotes equitable benefit-sharing, inclusivity, and long-term sustainability, by tracking revenue allocation, community participation, employment creation, environmental safeguards, and governance structures in line with global integrity standards. The CDA tool helps with the attainment of reduced carbon footprints.
3. Power Purchase Agreements- Turning power agreements into performance realities.
The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Implementation Tracker is a comprehensive framework for monitoring performance and compliance under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The tool tracks electricity generation, pricing, availability, billing, performance guarantees, and sustainability commitments to ensure energy projects deliver reliable revenues, meet regulatory standards, and support renewable energy goals. The PPA tool promotes transparent sale and purchase of power through data-backed contracting.
4. Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) Contracts- Procurement with precision, compliance with confidence
The EPC Contract Implementation Tracker serves as a measurable system for tracking procurement processes under Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts. The tool improves transparency, cost efficiency, and schedule adherence in procurement activities, while enforcing contract compliance, quality assurance, HSE standards, and risk management across the supply chain.
5. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Contracts- Keeping assets alive, reliable, and compliant
The O&M Contract Implementation Tracker provides a structured framework for monitoring and assessing operator performance under Operations & Maintenance (O&M) agreements. The tool ensures compliance with contractual obligations, optimises asset availability and maintenance, strengthens HSE adherence, and provides transparency in financial and operational performance over the project lifecycle.
