Navigating Trading, Power Purchase
Agreements & Merchant Offtake
At the time of writing, Europe had had its most successful year in terms of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with a record 7.8GW of renewable energy contracts signed. ICT (2GW), heavy industry (1.8GW) and telecoms (650MW) did much of the heavy lifting with other sectors bringing up the rear. When we gathered in May 2024 for the third edition of the Renewable Energy Revenues Summit, the energy landscape continued to evolve rapidly, influenced by the beating drum of climate change, volatility around power prices and the need to decarbonise power procurement as well as generation.
Recent data indicates that power prices have started to fall, following the shocks in autumn 2022 which triggered inflation across the world. However, with CAPEX and interest rates still high, energy suppliers are under pressure to optimize their revenues from both PPAs and the wholesale market. We are also seeing a slowdown in some renewable segments when it comes to new installations as well as some institutional capital in “wait and see” mode given the new economic reality. How companies adapt is vital to their success in 2024.
The Renewable Energy Revenues Summit bridged the gap between off-takers, generators, asset owners and financiers. During this summit, attendees gained insights into:
- Mitigating various risks, including regulatory, credit, profile, volume, and imbalance, when structuring PPAs Pricing PPAs amidst uncertain macroeconomic conditions, regulatory changes, and a volatile renewable energy wholesale market
- Extracting value from renewable energy certificates incorporated in PPAs
- Effective hedging strategies for trading renewable energy across diverse power markets
- Utilizing the latest data and modelling techniques to enhance PPAs and power trading
- Structuring PPAs tailored to specific low carbon energy technologies, such as wind, solar, batteries, green hydrogen and electric vehicles
- Building a proficient energy procurement and trading team to bolster certainty in renewable energy trading
The challenges we face are complex, but with collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision, we can navigate the uncertainties and create a sustainable energy future. Let’s harness the power of collective knowledge and drive forward the renewable energy agenda.
