PPA-Manage Competitive Electricity Markets & Attract Renewable Energy Investments

A 3-day intensive training course giving a practical understanding of the complex issues and how Power Purchase Agreements, wholesale power markets, renewable energy technologies, and merchant power investments are being analyzed, structured, and implemented.

Economies throughout Asia urgently need to master the key tools, models, and lessons learned for transforming and strengthening today’s electricity sector. These include the latest models in negotiating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), in designing and managing new competitive power markets, as well as attracting the right mix of renewable energy sources. Unlike the past Independent Power Project models, which featured standardized take-or-pay contracts – today’s market demands more innovative incentives are needed to ensure better availability, better performance, as well as more attractive and sustainable mixtures of fuel sources.

Across Asia, Governments need to structure clearer incentives for new private investments into renewable technologies including wind power, solar energy, bio-mass incineration and mini-hydro investments. However, in order to be willing to accept these risks, experienced private power developers need assurance that new electricity markets are fair, transparent, and efficient. Moreover, private power investors are much more selective and risk-averse in their global investment decision-making in today’s current global financial climate.

This practical 3-day workshop will provide clear explanations of the new models of PPA risk allocation, of designing and managing competitive power markets, attracting private investments in renewable energy, through a series of real case examples of contracts and markets. Case Studies will include real examples from Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America.
