The clean energy market is constantly evolving, as investors grapple with rising interest rates and a global supply chain crunch. As a result, they are looking for ways to increase their returns and are becoming willing to take on greater risks.
This week, I was delighted to participate in a panel discussion at Solar & Storage Live to examine these developments. During the discussion, I emphasized the importance of risk management, particularly for investors seeking higher returns. I suggested that investors should use all the tools at their disposal, such as PPAs, short-term hedging, and selling ancillary services - investors need the risk-management capabilities appropriate to the level of risk they are taking.
At RPC, securing PPAs is vital to our investment strategy. Just last week, we announced that we have signed a fourth PPA for our flagship Swedish onshore wind portfolio. This means that we've now secured long-term, stable cash flows for each project in the portfolio, without having to rely on subsidies.
It was great to see some familiar faces at the conference, and I look forward to discussing these important issues further at the Renewable Energy Revenues Summit Series later this month.
