2- Development : Defining project description, feasibility assessment, project management, and project implementation roles and responsibilities.Selecting a contractor, technical experience, management experience, transparent accounting, tightly defined milestones, and good communications skills

3- Engineering design : . The objective of this step is to end up with a complete set of component or systems specifications, drawings, performance specifications, and construction management plans that can be used for hardware procurement and on-site construction. The engineering design should also include the development of a detailed construction timeline identifying long-lead-time items and construction sequencing. Also, the engineering design will result in an increasingly good estimate of actual construction costs.

4- Power Agreement : The PPA has enormous influence over the economic and financial viability of the project. The PPA should address the purchase power price ($/kWh, including any time of day or seasonal variations), the duration or term of the agreement, and interconnection and operational requirements.

5- Permitting and Licensing :power generation project will be subject to certain environmental siting and permitting requirements. Permitting includes the granting of permission by tribal and BIA authorities to site the project on tribal lands. Environmental siting requirements typically relate to land-use regulations and air permitting.

6- Project Financing Process :project financing and the project's "deal structure" become inseparable. Project financial partners will certainly have a say over the management and oversight structure of the project. Tax incentives, and deal structures that are framed to capture these incentives, may have significant influence over the implementation of a project.
