Week Three: May 18-21Thursday, May 21

11:00 AM-12:00 PM – What are the benefits and challenges of incorporating storage into a solar VPPA?More and more developers are integrating energy storage with renewable projects, producing so-called "hybrid projects" that, for tax reasons, are usually solar + storage configurations. Corporate procurement involving energy storage is fairly new, but some transactions have now been completed that include a storage component. Storage can be used to manage electricity costs and revenues, in effect allowing the corporate VPPA to settle stored electricity at a higher market price. The discussion would address the benefits and challenges of using energy storage in connection with corporate procurement, including use cases for energy storage structural limits imposed by the investment tax credit that is used to support solar + storage. We recently advised one of our clients in connection with a completed VPPA solar + storage transactions and would ask to have them join the discussion.

Week Five: June 1-4Monday, June 1

2:00-3:00 PM – Market Opportunity Mondays – Solving the Transmission Puzzle: A New Approach to Deliver Large Scale Renewable EnergyAn innovative transmission development model will break through past challenges and create new renewable energy procurement opportunities with more optionality and less risk for buyers. The SOO Green HVDC Link’s “grid-tied” model will connect two major electricity markets (MISO and PJM) and offer buyers direct access to a portfolio of geographically diverse generation in the Midwest physically delivering renewable energy to the East. As such, buyers can take advantage of innovative procurement opportunities and execute transactions with less risk than common procurement models, to better meet emerging time-matching objectives.

Week Five: June 1-4Thursday, June 4

11:00 AM-12:30 PM – Buyer’s Reality Check: Getting Equipped for Successful TransactionsAs REBA membership has demonstrated, corporate renewable energy procurement is a key aspect and growing driver of grid decarbonization. While we often hear about the successful renewable energy transactions of large buyers, what we don’t hear about are the transactions that fail to materialize and what happens behind the scenes. The reality is, sometimes deals fall through or don’t go the way we had planned, often due to circumstances beyond our immediate control. This session will focus on lessons learned from experienced buyers and advisors surrounding procurement and contracting, with a goal of setting realistic expectations for first time buyers and equipping them with best practices as they begin the process. McDonald’s Corporation, Royal DSM, and advisor CustomerFirst Renewables will discuss a range of challenges new buyers should be prepared for, including delays and setbacks related to the various complex factors involved in contract negotiation and RE project development, and will share stories of things that have gone wrong in past deals, with advice for how to avoid these downfalls. New buyers will come out of the session equipped with tools and tactics to accelerate the procurement and contracting process, maximizing their chances of closing successful deals and progressing toward a zero-carbon future.

Week Six: June 8-11Monday, June 8

11:00 AM-12:00 PM – Market Opportunity Mondays: Buying Wholesale Sustainable Power Can Now Be As Easy As Clicking a Few BoxesThe electric grid is quickly evolving from large central generation to smaller decentralized generation and it is a growing challenge for the buyers and sellers to find each other. In addition, many large companies making sustainable power commitments are not in a position to take 15-year positions for their electric usage. Verde Blocks provides a platform facilitating visibility between buyers and generators and enables companies to purchase sustainable blocks of power for periods from 1 month to 5 years in sizes from 1 MW to 50 MWs.

Week Ten: July 6-9Tuesday, July 7

2:00-3:00 PM – Unlocking Localized Solar VPPAs through Qualified Opportunity ZonesOur session will focus on the utilization of specialized tax incentives (Opportunity Zones) to target localized solar VPPAs in economically distressed communities. OZs are a unique and relatively new investment tool that provides tax benefits for investments made in distressed communities. These tax incentives can be paired with solar development to drive lower PPA rates for ~10-50MW (flexible range) solar farms, making these 'localized' VPPAs price competitive with large-scale projects. Unlocking procurement activity for projects of this size, and through this approach, will have several advantages including an accelerated timeline to COD, reduced risk of nodal price suppression, and enhanced price correlation & hedge performance - in addition to local economic development benefits. In this session, we will explain how this approach can be leveraged to supplement current large-scale renewable energy procurement strategies, and how opportunities to invest directly into such projects can result in improved additionality claims and ROE for corporate buyers.

Week Ten: July 6-9Thursday, July 9

11:00 AM-12:30 PM – How can a portfolio approach to renewables provide an improved risk profile?We’re all familiar with the concept that the safest place for your retirement money is a mutual fund, thanks to its ability to reduce risk through diversification. The same concept applies to renewable energy procurement. Instead of entering into one power purchase agreement for a large number of megawatts, corporations can enter into three or more - and diversify the risk. As more corporations look to procure a second or third time, it’s critical for them to consider how their next PPA will affect their entire portfolio of renewable energy investments. In this session, we’ll cover strategies to create a PPA portfolio that will minimize risk and maximize value. Key considerations include: Project location and technology, developer execution and operation risk, matching energy load with renewable investments, scale pricing, and executing PPAs simultaneously.

Week Fifteen: August 10-13Tuesday, August 11

11:00 AM-12:00 PM – What are the issues and approaches to allowing project substitution in contracts?With multiple projects in various stages of development, often within the same region and with similar production profiles, sponsors have increasingly sought the optionality to modify or otherwise assign executed virtual power purchase agreements to other projects that have either reached a more advanced stage of development or that otherwise have more advantageous economics. While this can benefit both the sponsor and the buyer, it also poses some risk around the expected production profile and project performance.
