During the current period of rising interest rates and inflation, and increased market volatility, how can financiers identify the most profitable projects?
What can project developers do to make their projects more attractive for investors?
What would be the impact of decoupling gas and energy prices?
How long will market volatility continue and what will be its impact in the short and long term?
During such periods of volatile energy prices, inflation and interest rates accurately valuating the long-term value of projects is becoming increasingly difficult
Learn how you can maintain a competitive edge in your negotiations during the current market conditions
Which data can enhance your valuation models to more accurately price risk and volatility during negotiations?
This panel discussion will address the current challenges in the wind energy sector related to supply chain disruptions, rising raw materials costs, and the impact on wind turbine manufacturers. Our esteemed panelists will provide insights on assessing and de-risking new suppliers to mitigate the effects of these challenges on projects and financial outcomes.
An overview of the recent challenges faced by OEMs and their implications for the sector
In terms of the European wind sector, where is the optimal place to manufacture wind components?
What will the EU's response to the IRA mean for European-based manufacturing?
How can you establish a secure long-term supply chain for the success of your projects?
Quality assurance and certification: ensuring adherence to industry standards and certifications to maintain equipment performance
The ramifications of ever-increasing turbine sizes
OEMs losing money on long-term contracts
Lack of effective hedging practices
The deployment of floating wind
Expansion/development of new technologies (Green Hydrogen, Battery Storage etc.)
Redefining Energy is an award-winning suite of podcasts, where Gerard Reid and Laurent Segalen debate how the world of Energy is being radically redefined through Tech Innovations, Finance, Markets, Regulations and Digitisation.
Beside the bimonthly main show, we have now expanded with the weekly MINUTES and the new TECH.

What are customers looking for from the wind industry?
Lately we have observed extreme price differences in the electricity markets. Often these price spikes coincides with periods of low wind power production – and vice versa.
What port infrastructure is required for them to be able to host floating wind projects?
What vessels are required to access floating wind turbines for maintenance and repair?
Learn which solutions you can undertake for the success of your projects
Questions remain around the bankability of these projects as there are not yet any proven, long-term financially viable case studies to base decision-making from
Floating wind provides great excitement with many GWs worth of offshore wind capacity able to be expanded into if able to be produced effectively at scale
The excitement was proved in the ScotWind auction with several GWs of seabed being bought up for future floating wind projects, including a project of 3GW
However, questions remain around the bankability of these projects as there are not yet any proven, long-term financially viable case studies to base decision-making from
Hear from project financers to understand what steps can be taken to make floating wind projects bankable and more attractive for project financers?
