GTM Solar Focus: Expanding Corporate Adoption of Renewables

Setting the scene for the session, this exclusive WoodMac research presentation will provide context for the industry-led discussions that will follow, examining cumulative C&I capacity and expected growth of the market in the United States, PPA contract sizes and number of agreements signed, top C&I offtakers and developers and other key market considerations. #showall

In a conversation with some of the nation’s biggest corporate buyers of renewable energy, Wood Mackenzie and CohnReznick Capital will assess the key factors shaping the future of renewable corporate offtakes: from the economic benefits of corporate PPAs to corporate decarbonization pledges, emerging business models and technologies or the impact of potential state and federal policy developments.

The discussion will also cover what is the addressable market for corporate renewables in the United States, from the current wave of corporate off-takes (dominated by big tech firms and mega-retail firms) to additional company tiers and industry sectors that will make up future corporate procurement. #showall

CohnReznick will discuss the biggest risk factors impacting corporate renewable project finance, examining ways of minimizing and hedging risk and how PPAs are tailored to the needs of corporate offtakers.

This session will also evaluate how 2020 market turbulence has affected corporate renewable deals and what can be expected in the near future. #showall
