Paris | Power & Renewables Briefing 2023

The drive to net zero

Energy policy is evolving in response to market dynamics in a range of areas including short-term emergency response, fundamental power market reform, support for renewable supply chain and broader policy support to drive progress towards net zero targets. In addition, the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) landscape is changing as industry players also respond to market changes with shifts in their route-to-market strategies. So, what conditions are critical for the deployment of key technologies in the drive to net zero? Join our experts as they dive into the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

During the in-person briefing, Wood Mackenzie will discuss:

  • The European power markets through crisis and reform
  • PPA market dynamics
  • EU response to The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), flagship legislation focused on accelerating decarbonisation in the US
  • Hydrogen in Europe: from here, there and everywhere?

Speakers

  • Peter Osbaldstone, Research Director, European Power
  • Daniel Tipping, Research Analyst, European Solar
