The main regional business event in the field of solar energy devoted to latest technology, trends, and investments opportunities – CISOLAR 2020, the 9^th International Solar Energy Conference and Trade Show of Central and Eastern Europe – will take place in Kyiv on July, 15-17 (2020.cis-solar.com).

The International Conference on Renewable Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering (IRESE) is organised in partnership by academics of  the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering (ISI Springer journal) and has the technical support of Theorem Conferences (United Kingdom).

This conference will bring together academics, researchers, engineers, students, and industry professionals, in order to address and discuss the state of the art of renewable energy systems and environmental issues. It provides a platform for critical discussion in key areas related to various aspects of energy and environmental sciences. The topics of the conference contribute and propose solutions to the current issues related to extensive industrial, transportation, urbanisation, agriculture activities, and climate changes towards  improving sustainable development and protection of our environment.

The abstracts and the full papers will be published in the E-book Proceedings of the conference, and the delegates will have the opportunity to apply for the publication of their papers in a special issue of the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering, Springer, published since 2012.

IRESE will be held from the 18th to the 20th of July 2020 in Brussels capital of Belgium, well-known as the capital of Europe, and centre of European culture and institutions.

The organising committee is looking forward to welcoming you in Brussels soon.

The PCIM Europe is the industry meeting point for specialists in power electronis, where representatives from the fields of research and industry come together, where trends and developments are presented to the public for the first time, and where the entire value chain is covered – all the way from components to intelligent systems.

At the PCIM Europe 2020, trade visitors will have the opportunity to meet around 500 exhibitors and discover a vast range of products and innovations in power electronics and its applications. For all those interested in power electronics for e-mobility there will be an exhibition forum specifically and the „E-mobility Area“ dedicated to this topic.

At the conference held alongside the exhibition, the participants will learn more about the latest developments and research findings from the realms of science and industry in talks and poster presentations.

SNEC 14th (2020) International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition [SNEC PV POWER EXPO] will be held in Shanghai, China, on August 8-10, 2020.

Power Purchase Agreement Bankability

 25 – 27 August 2020, Singapore

Book by 22 May and save up to $500

 Overview

According to the IEA, “More than 70% of the $2 trillion required each year in energy supply investment either comes from state-directed entities or receives a full or partial revenue guarantee.” This revenue guarantee is typically offered as a Power Purchase Agreement in the electricity sector and therefore a crucial element in a project finance environment for IPPs. Bankability of PPAs is especially challenging as most electricity demand growth takes place in emerging countries with offtaker’s creditworthiness at least questionable. Therefore the bankability of PPAs is not only driven by complex contractual clauses within the commercial agreement but by the power sector and country context embedding the foreign invested IPP. More often than not, the project set up requires additional credit enhancements instruments backing the PPA to reach financial close.

This PPA workshop will draw on a database of some 100 PPAs from across the world and all types of power generation technologies. We will further discuss a wide range of country and project case studies from emerging markets and compare them with international experience in the power sector. The seminar experience will require interactive involvement of the delegates to discuss cases, conduct exercises and thorough reading of legal documents.

Course Highlights

– Real world PPAs to be used during the course

– Blending legal, financial and technical elements in straightforward way

– Hands-on exercises and group work

– Zooming in and out from PPA clauses to project and country context

– Discussion of many case studies to apply learning topics

– Global expert trainer in the field of PPA and project finance

Benefits of Attending

– Understand the link and importance of the PPA within the project set-up

– Learn how to analyse a PPA hands-on

– Understand the key provisions of a PPA and its impact on project financing

– Anticipate and mitigate risks through the PPA process

– Learn how to identify red flags within the PPA, both from seller and buyer’s side

– Apply your learnings from day one at work

Who Should Attend

– Officials of governments and regulatory bodies
