September 21, 2020: Portfolio management for renewable portfolios and the new market dynamics
Led by: Carlos Blanco, managing director, analytic solutions, Ascend Analytics Summary This interactive workshop is designed to provide a deep level of understanding of valuation and risk management for wind, solar and battery projects. The course starts with an overview of the new dynamics in wholesale spot and forward electricity markets as a result of increasing renewable penetration. Practical examples using case studies illustrate the main risks for renewable and battery projects such as market, volume, operational, legal and counterparty risks. The course explores risk assessment, modeling and mitigation techniques for merchant wind, solar and battery projects using financial hedges, structured products and insurance. Multiple case studies will show how to perform valuation, risk analysis and hedge design for renewable and battery projects and portfolios. Target audience
