Beyond standard PPAs: Practical reflections on new types of power deals

In the fourth episode of the Pexapark Podcast, Luca critically reflects on Denmark’s offshore wind setback; Germany’s oversubscribed auction and how it stacks up against PPA prices; toxic energy debates on the back of the second Dunkelfaute; the doom and gloom of Swedish onshore wind and more, followed by a vibrant discussion on exciting new PPA structures in the market. 

The risks and requirements of today’s PPA environment demand more creativity and an open mind to how deals are closed. Ann Cocquyt, Director & Regional Lead- PPA Transactions at Pexapark, reflects on her closed transactions portfolio and shares her practical thoughts on all the key new structures we see in the market. 

From zero-price risk allocation clauses – which in reality should never have been a ‘new’ trend, to how Combo PPAs should be priced. What are the different contractual setups of renewables-plus-storage deals? Why are only big corporates able to lead the 24/7 demand? And what is the one required ingredient to qualify for a Multi-buyer PPA?
