RE-Source Southeast – the key event for corporate renewable energy sourcing in Southeast Europe is coming back for its 5th edition! It brings together industrial and corporate consumers, project developers, electricity traders and renewable power producers.
With 10.7GW by the end of October, 2024 promises to be another record year in Europe for volumes of renewable electricity contracted through corporate PPAs. Romania, Greece and Bulgaria are also gaining speed in concluding long-term renewable PPAs. That is why the latest edition of RE-Source Southeast generated huge interest. With over 50 speakers, sharing their expertise about various aspects of corporate sourcing, the event was attended by more than 450 participants from 24 countries.
The growing RES capacities in the SEE region set a great potential for signing PPAs in 2025. So whether you are an experienced green electricity buyer or seller, or new to this sphere, it’s worth joining.
Networking is at the heart of the RE-Source SEE – the event provides unique opportunities to share ideas with high-level experts, learn from industry leaders and meet future partners.
The Buyer Bootcamp is aimed at energy buyers in corporate, government and other organisations, including:
This morning will be dedicated to Interactive workshops and Q&A sessions with experts & market players covering the main aspects of the PPA negotiation process:
* only for industrial energy consumers
Leading industry associations will discuss the complex landscape of corporate sourcing of renewable energy in Europe, the business challenges and opportunities for Southeast Europe within the European energy market and in the light of the Clean Industrial Deal.
This session unpacks key renewable corporate sourcing strategies taking shape across Southeast Europe. Panelists will outline the market’s main drivers, challenges and business models while weighing the merits of locking in long-term off-take agreements against merchant exposure. They will discuss the ongoing tendency towards hybridisation of renewable assets - as a hedge against price cannibalisation - and the impact of the coming wave of stand-alone battery energy storage systems (BESS) . Finally, the discussion will explore balancing and optimisation services, along with new, more liquid exchange products that give renewable producers access to long-term trading instruments.
The panel will gather companies from different industry sectors to discuss the challenges of implementing decarbonisation solutions as a way to achieve climateneutrality, energy security and competitiveness. And how the Clean Industrial Deal will affect the the adoption of new renewable energy sources and reshape the PPAs.
The panelists will discuss different ways of unlocking capital to back renewable energy and storage projects as an essential supplement for improved bankability of RES projects and PPAs, and successful operation in a highly volatile energy market.
Explore the trends, regulatory nuances, project funding and future insights on these three major RES markets in the SEE region.
Electricity does not stop at borders. Increasing shares of renewable energy and decentralised generation raise the level of balancing complexity, in parallel, increasing interdependencies between the different transmission systems. Get the insights of what can be the solutions to the grid challenges and are the cross-border PPAs an exclusion ora new rule?
As energy storage technology continues to advance, its role in the energy sector isbecoming increasingly pivotal. This panel will explore how energy storage is emerging asa game-changer in the context of corporate procurement and trading strategies.
The panel will focus on new, emerging technologies, which allow finding new synergies between sectors and emerging decisions like agrivoltaics, hybridization, digital tools for forecasting and portfolio management. Participants will provide market intelligence, practical tips and real-life examples from pioneers in the fields.
As Southeast Europe positions itself as a hub for renewable energy infrastructure, datacenters hold promise of becoming strategic energy consumers - a potential catalysts for demand growth and accelerated renewable energy deployment. This panel will explore how the growing demand from hyperscalers and regional tech infrastructure can align with corporate PPAs, hybrid renewable energy systems and innovations in grid management and storage.
