NPM Data Presentation & Market Analysis
Panel #1: Development landscape for clean energy projects
Developers across the GB market are grappling with grid connection offers now stretching into the 2030s, although there are initiatives underway by grid operators to bring these dates forward. Meanwhile, a sometimes-uneven planning environment across the country is creating a postcode lottery in terms of potential outcomes.
Panellists will discuss:
• Pathways to clearing grid congestion with National Grid
• Planning experiences across the country
• Observations on NSIP framework for larger projects and potential reform
Networking Lunch
Panel #2: Route-to-market update
An extremely hot power price market just a couple of years ago has now softened considerably. PPA prices are accordingly also down in value, creating the conditions for a highly competitive CfD Allocation Round Six this year, both onshore and offshore.
Panellists will discuss:
• Impact of falling power prices on PPA appetite
• The state of the CfD auction framework
• The forecast for green hydrogen and its impact on offtake options
Networking Coffee Break
Panel #3: Capital markets outlook for renewables
Macroeconomic conditions continue to combine with lower revenues to create a markedly changed financing landscape compared with the past few years, both in terms of cost of debt as well as transaction structures. Options are opening up however, with developers now routinely able to find platform-level equity or tap into a burgeoning development loan offering from a select group of lenders.
Panellists will discuss:
• Debt outlook for merchant solar and wind projects
• Obstacles and solutions to funding emerging battery energy storage markets
• Strategies developers are taking to growing their platforms
Networking Drinks
