Session description

Corporate PPAs are a highly complex field with multiple options – so how can innovations simplify this and encourage a greater take-up? This technical session will delve into some of the legal, financial and physical developments that are seeking to clarify risks and quantify benefits for the various parties involved. The discussion with the panelists will cover innovation in virtual vs physical vs firmed structures, new legal approaches, and other ways of sharing/reducing risk between parties – all with a view to simplify a route through the PPA maze!

Learning objectives

• How can volume risk and shape risk be mitigated and shared in virtual and physical PPAs?
• How can credit risk and market risk be managed and quantified in floating and fixed price PPAs?
• Is there a way to simplify 14 different models of corporate renewable power procurement?
