Value and manage risk of renewable assets and PPAs.

Your Renewables Questions

How do I accurately value renewable assets like solar, wind, and battery storage?

How can I understand and manage different risk exposures of renewable assets and PPAs?

How can I identify value and understand risk characteristics of a potential deal?

How do I determine the optimal hedging strategy for each renewable asset?

Is it possible to capture and model the volumetric, price and operational risks unique to renewable generation assets and contracts?

How can I link the output of renewable assets to the impact on market prices?

Can I analyse hedging generation output to minimise risk and capture maximum upside?

As renewables continue to grow in popularity as a key part of a diversified energy portfolio, so too does the importance of determining price and risk of the associated contracts. Yet analysing value, hedging, and risk characteristics at an individual and portfolio-wide level can be extremely challenging and time consuming.
