Marketing Channels for New Systems Beyond EEG Funding – Opportunities and Risks of PPAs

Free Webinar

Tuesday, October 13, 2020 | 11:00am–12:00am MESZ | Webinar Language: German

Long-term electricity supply contracts for renewable energies, so-called Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), have become established in many international markets in recent years. In Germany, the market is still in its infancy, but clear signals can be heard that PPAs are becoming more and more part of the energy industry's reality. In the case of project implementation outside of EEG funding, however, it also becomes clear that PPA contracts are complex legal agreements and, in addition to many opportunities, are also accompanied by legal imponderables and financial risks. Which legal framework conditions are PPAs subject to and what should be taken into account when concluding them? What are the opportunities with regard to new marketing channels?

During the webinar participants can submit their questions to get them answered by the experts in the live Q&A. In addition, both the recording and the speakers' presentations are made available to all registrants after the webinar.
