A one-day event to showcase Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) will occur the day before the second edition of the Energy Transition Expo’s KEY conference, called KEY Choice.
The conference producers claim PPAs can protect companies from price spikes and are an option to decouple from volatile gas prices.
This B2B event, made by Italian Exhibition Group in collaboration with the consultancy firm Elemens, will spotlight PPAs as a tool for the industry, it said.
Analysis from Elemens suggests that the around 60% of the total amount of new capacity in 2024 was contracted through PPAs, which it said is around 1GW.
This event will occur on Tuesday 4th March at the Palacongressi in Rimini. It will involve discussions on the perceived direction of the renewables market and how PPAs can fill a role for both end customers and the Italian electricity system, it said.
Christian Previati, KEY exhibition manager, said: “With KEY CHOICE we address not only energy-intensive companies, but also renewable energy producers, traders, off takers, electricity system institutions and financial institutions. Our aim is to put energy suppliers into contact with energy-intensive companies to facilitate stipulating PPAs, which we currently consider to be one of the most effective tools for saving on bills and which can enable companies to improve their sustainability profile by using, or even self-producing, energy from renewable sources.”
