Repowering Opportunities Aren’t Gone with the Wind…Yet

May 23, 2018

Interest in partial repowering has increased dramatically, with 2,136 MW of partial repowering completed in 2017. In 2018, with over 15 GW of operating wind projects ripe for repowering across the US, asset owners, and developers will look to cash in on what may be the last opportunity for significant production tax credits. However, decreasing margins demand a more careful look at project capital costs, O&M, and energy production gains. With careful homework and creative strategies in a few of these key areas, projects can find continued returns in 2018.

Renewable Energy Price Risk Management at the Energy Exchange

whitePaper | February 28, 2020

With subsidy schemes being gradually phased out across Europe, renewable energy assets are entering the world of merchant risk management and energy trading. Whilst PPAs are one tool to set a baseline for prices that can be relied upon by developers and banks, there remains a price risk when exposed to wholesale market movements. For several decades, energy trading has primarily been the territory of utilities, trading houses and banks. Now, renewable energy project developers and offtakers exposed to wholesale prices must learn how to employ the financial products available to manage the risk exposure to variable prices.
