Revenue Stacking in UK Renewables: Maximizing Returns in a Shifting Market
How battery storage operators combine energy arbitrage, balancing mechanisms, ancillary services, capacity markets, and local flexibility to maximize asset profitability Navigating declining revenues from saturated services and grid connection delays How capacity contracting and aggregation can serve as tools to navigate revenue volatility
High Energy Prices: What Does the Future Hold for the UK Market?
The UK is entering one of the most severe energy crises in decades. It is comparable to the combined impact of the 1970s oil shocks and the Ukraine conflict. Global supply disruptions and escalating tensions in the Middle East are driving volatility. Wholesale electricity prices are rising again. This will place significant cost pressure on […]

The UK Government’s role in supporting CPPAs How BESS off-take strategies can facilitate deals Portfolio Optimisation to help CPPAs stack up with CfDs
Unlocking Premium Value: How Co-Located Battery Storage Transforms Renewable PPAs
Co-located Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are transforming renewable PPA economics by converting intermittent generation into firmer, higher-value delivery profiles. By storing excess energy and discharging during peak demand, BESS addresses solar cannibalisation, reduces curtailment, and enables premium pricing. This session explores commercial and contracting strategies from fully bundled hybrid PPAs to partial flexibility arrangements […]
Powering AI: How Data Centre Energy Demand Is Reshaping the UK Grid
Ofgem has revealed that 140 data centres are seeking grid connections requiring 50GW of peak capacity—five times higher than government forecasts and far exceeding even the most ambitious demand projections. With 71 “mature” projects (20GW) already prioritized for connections, renewable energy developers face a critical challenge: competing for limited grid capacity against power-hungry data centres […]
The PPA Pricing Reset: What It Means for the UK & Ireland
PPA pricing dynamics are shifting across Europe, with declining capture expectations and rising negative price exposure reshaping deal economics. As these pressures filter into the UK and Ireland, buyers and sellers must recalibrate pricing models, structures and risk allocation to sustain transaction momentum. How are falling capture rates and widening discounts affecting UK & Ireland […]
Energy Security 2.0: Wind, Solar, Storage, and the Path to Reliable Energy
Wind now delivers around 37% of UK electricity, and solar is scaling rapidly, reducing reliance on imports. Yet intermittency, grid congestion, and infrastructure delays remain critical challenges for cost and reliability. This session explores what true energy security looks like today and how the system is evolving to meet demand. How wind and solar are […]

The Role of Behind-The-Meter PPA in Delivering Sustainability and Business Competitiveness
Behind-the-meter Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are emerging as a powerful mechanism for energy-intensive businesses to accelerate decarbonisation while strengthening their commercial position. By enabling on-site generation and efficiency projects without upfront capital investment, behind-the-meter PPAs align sustainability objectives with operational resilience and cost control. We’ll explore how PPAs are helping organisations reduce energy costs, cut […]
