PowerCast: Risk, Reward & Rays. The Solar PPA Deep Dive

from PowerCast by EDF · host EDF Wholesale Market Services

At EDF, we’ve been looking carefully at our PPAs and the costs and risks we price as an offtaker. As part of this activity, we asked LCP Delta to independently analyse the historical costs of shaping fixed-price solar PPAs and what a sustainable risk pricing approach might be. As solar power continues to expand across the grid, the true cost of shaping fixed-price PPAs is becoming clearer — and more complex. While recent years may have offered a stroke of good fortune for offtakers, with aligned weather and market conditions keeping costs low, LCP Delta’s analysis shows this may not be a trend we can rely on in future. What happens when the weather doesn’t cooperate — or when market prices move in unexpected ways? The report takes a hard look at these risks and what sustainable pricing really means for the long term. Join David Edmonds, Head of Pricing & Valuations and Matt Flook, PPA and Renewable Certificates Senior Manager as they break down the key findings, explore what they mean for generators and offtakers alike, and hear EDF’s take on why responsible pricing is more important than ever in a volatile market. Whether you're a generator, offtaker, an investor, or just energy-curious, you won’t want to miss this one.
