Session 1
The Baltic region has seen rapid growth in utility-scale renewable energy projects, leading to a more competitive landscape. Yet, despite increasing market saturation, opportunities remain for investors and developers, with favorable policies, strong regional demand, and evolving storage solutions sustaining attractive returns.

Policy frameworks are the backbone of renewable energy investment. In this intimate conversation, the former Lithuanian Ministry of Energy will share insights on how clear, consistent, and forward-looking regulation can reduce risk, attract capital, and accelerate the Baltics’ clean energy transition.
As the Baltic states accelerate their renewable energy transition, Transmission System Operators are at the forefront of building a smarter, more adaptable grid. Their efforts to enhance flexibility, resilience, and cross-border integration are not only vital for energy security but also shape the investment landscape by reducing risks and enabling new opportunities.

Session 2
With growing renewable penetration, the Baltic power market is becoming increasingly volatile. This session explores how batteries can be strategically deployed to capture value in day-ahead and intraday markets, enabling traders to benefit from price swings and volatility exposure.
This presentation explores strategies for transforming volatile, market-driven floating storage revenues into a more predictable and stable income stream. We will focus on financial structuring tools, risk management approaches, and contractual frameworks that enable asset owners and investors to secure long-term stable value.
Investors fear market volatility and see their business models harmed by weaker than anticipated demand growth. This session will explore strategies to safeguard and enhance returns, from innovative financing structures to flexible asset operation, while highlighting how storage, hedging, and diversification can help investors thrive in uncertain conditions.

Session 3
This presentation provides a hands-on framework for navigating regulatory, financial, and technical hurdles, equipping developers with the tools to successfully bring projects from concept to operation.
We unpack the economics behind utility-scale BESS projects, focusing on the capital and operational cost structures that drive project viability. Learn how CapEx and OpEx interact with offtake agreements to shape revenue certainty, risk allocation, and long-term returns.
Tighter financing conditions and a limited PPA market are reshaping the investment landscape for renewable energy in the Baltics. This session will explore innovative financing structures, risk-mitigation tools, and offtake structures that can help asset owners secure capital and keep projects bankable in a challenging environment.

Session 4
Maximizing the lifespan of battery assets is critical to ensuring strong financial returns in renewable energy projects. This presentation will explore the technical, operational, and strategic measures that asset owners can adopt to extend battery performance while safeguarding profitability.
Developers and asset owners face new challenges in ensuring BESS projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with long-term reliability. This session highlights common pitfalls in the development and construction phases—and how to avoid them to secure project success.
Rapid renewable build-out will reshape price formation across the Baltics, with deeper volatility, more frequent low and negative price hours. Market players shouldexpect greater cross-border dynamics, tighter ancillary markets, and storage-driven arbitrage to redefine trading strategies and asset revenue stacks.
