Session 1
700 hours of negative prices in 2024. Overproduction or renewable capacity, alongside other constraints, is challenging traditional business models and profitability ratios. An obvious question arises: how can you earn adequate risk-adjusted returns in the Finnish power market in 2025 & beyond?

Fingrid anticipates a substantial increase in RE capacity, which will require upgrades and new infrastructure to manage the grid. Investors expect a clear framework to make sure the grid stays flexible and is ready for an uptake in power generation. We set the stage for the Finnish TSO to explain their strategy, development plans, and answer questions from investors.

Session 2
Scandinavian developer Alight has signed a 100 MW PPA with Autoliv for Finland’s largest PPA to date. The solar park, set for construction in Eurajoki, will be operational by 2026. We break down the fundamentals and main drivers behind this deal.
Capture prices are lower than estimates; it's proven to be tough to sign PPAs; and arbitrage exposure for storage assets is quite volatile. Considering these circumstances, which risks are banks willing to take on their balance sheets? Spoiler: prospects are actually good.

BESS payback periods vary depending on factors like market prices and whether the BESS is integrated with other renewable energy sources. Throughout this presentation, you will gain insights into profitability metrics (IRR, NPV, discounted payback, etc.) for standalone & co-located storage assets in Finland.
Developing renewable energy projects in Finland faces challenges including long permitting processes, land restrictions, transmission grid capacity bottlenecks, and integrating ESG aspects in depth. During this panel discussion, we explore what risk mitigation strategies do developers carry out in the market to maximize the outcome of reaching Ready to Build status for their projects.
