  • 248. Are wind PPAs about to become more expensive?
    Jul 14 2026

    In this episode, Sam Hollister speaks to Bertalan Gyenes, Power Modelling Consultant at LCP Delta, and David Edmonds, Head of Portfolio Pricing at EDF Energy, about the growing impact of wind cannibalisation on the GB power market. As renewable generation continues to increase, periods of high wind output are pushing wholesale electricity prices lower, creating new challenges for investors, developers and offtakers. Together, they explore how these market dynamics are reshaping power purchase agreements (PPAs), influencing investment decisions, and raising important questions for future market design.

  • 246. Can merchant batteries make solar PPAs work again? Insights from Alight
    Jun 30 2026

    In this episode, Tom Smout speak to Johan Hernström, Head of Revenue at Alight, about why the traditional solar business model is changing and how combining solar, battery storage and innovative PPA structures could create a more resilient path forward.

    As capture rates decline, negative pricing increases and balancing costs rise, renewable developers are being forced to rethink how projects are financed and operated. Johan explains why Alight is pairing PPA-backed solar with merchant battery storage, how this approach is changing relationships with lenders and off-takers, and what it means for the future of independent power producers.
