Synopsis

• Addressing the challenges faced by renewable energy developers and investors with limited availability of green hydrogen-focused Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the European market, despite EU incentives.
• Examining who takes on the risk for power price forecasts which are increasingly inaccurate over long time scales, and solutions to mitigate or hedge against that risk.
• Discussing the role that offtakers have in taking on some of that power price risk – under what circumstances would an offtaker ever be willing to assume that risk?
