The Project Scope is the backbone of a project profile.
It tells the reader what the project is, who is involved, what is being built, how it is funded, and when it will be delivered.
Although the tool auto-generates a pre-filled scope template based on earlier inputs, it is mandatory to review, edit, and enrich it to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Step 1: Opening Paragraph: Project Overview
Always begin with:
Company name
Project name
Project location (city/state/country)
Nature of the project
Investment value
Example:
ABC Energy is developing the XYZ Solar Power Project located in Rajasthan, India. The project involves the development of a utility-scale solar photovoltaic facility with an estimated investment of USD 450 million.
Step 2: Funding & Investment Details
Clearly mention:
Total investment value (official or estimated)
Funding mode whether Public/Private/Public–Private Partnership (PPP)
Example:
The project is expected to be financed through private investment, with funding secured via a mix of equity and debt.
Step 3: Technical & Project Details (Sector-Specific)
This is the most detailed part of the scope. The level of technical details depends on the sector.
For Renewable Energy (e.g., Solar)
Include details such as:
Installed capacity
Type of technology (e.g., photovoltaic)
Panel type (if available)
Associated infrastructure:
BESS
Substations
Transmission lines
Example:
The project will comprise photovoltaic solar panels along with associated infrastructure, including inverter stations, step-up transformers, and grid interconnection facilities. The development may also include battery energy storage systems to enhance grid stability.
For Oil & Gas
Include details such as:
Field or asset type
Processing facilities
Pipelines, FPSO, LNG units, etc.
Production or handling capacity
Example:
The project involves the development of upstream oil and gas infrastructure, including production wells, processing facilities, and associated pipeline networks to support hydrocarbon extraction and transportation.
Step 4: Stakeholders & Roles
List all key companies involved in the project along with their roles.
Common roles include:
Project Owner
Developer
EPC Contractor
Technology Provider
Financial Partner
Example:
ABC Energy- Developer & Project Owner
XYZ Engineering - EPC contractor
DEF Power - Operations and Maintenance provider.
Step 5: Stakeholder Contributions
After listing stakeholders, clearly state what each company contributes to the project.
This may include:
Engineering & construction
Equipment supply
Financing
Operations & maintenance
Technology provision
Example:
ABC Energy will oversee project development and financing. XYZ Engineering will be responsible for engineering, procurement, and construction activities, while DEF Power will manage long-term operations and maintenance of the facility.
Step 6: Project Timeline (Construction & Completion)
End the scope by stating:
Expected construction start date
Expected completion or commissioning timeline
If exact dates are unavailable: Use estimated timelines (Avoid specific months unless confirmed)
Example:
Construction of the project is expected to commence in 2026, with commercial operations anticipated by 2028.
