The wholesale energy market is critical for managing renewable energy risks and ensuring a smoother energy transition. But globally, wholesale markets must keep pace with the needs of producers and traders. That’s why our UK Origination Director, Nick Jupe, was delighted to join a panel at #EnergyRiskEurope2024 in London this week. Nick offered his insights on how the UK wholesale market's role is evolving and how it must adapt to better manage the risks associated with renewable energy. He highlighted how market participants can take on the residual risks from renewables and help stabilise returns—vital steps to encourage more renewables adoption and to support a successful energy transition. Engelhart and Trailstone Group are proud to be part of these important conversations shaping the future of energy markets. Thanks for having us, Risk.net, and we look forward to sharing more next year! #renewables #energytransition #futureofenergy

Long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) are essential for the future of the clean energy transition. PPAs are contracts between producers, traders, and consumers to sell, manage and purchase energy from renewable sources. But they are not without risk. From price and market risks to risks associated with the regulation and operations, longer-term PPAs need careful management and strategic planning. PPAs will be a focus as we grow Trailstone Group's renewables business. You can hear more from our Senior Executive Consultant in Italy, Alessandro Savini, who will join the panel at the latest ANEV, Associazione Nazionale Energia del Vento summit in Rome. If you’re a renewable asset owner or an energy-intensive consumer in Italy, please contact Alessandro to learn more about how Trailstone Group can support your PPA needs. #renewableenergy #cleanenergytransition #windenergy #PPAs
