Workshop A — The Fundamentals of Corporate PPA’s and Deep Dive on Contracting Pricing – Advantages and Disadvantages in the Renewable Energy Sector
What is it about?
(Registration opens at 8:30am)
Part 1 – Fundamentals of Corporate PPAs – how do PPAs work?
Part 2 – Drafting Contracts- what would your PPA contract look like?
Part 3 – Pricing Advantages and Disadvantages – buyers and sellers in a PPA transaction, tradeoffs between price and risk allocation
Under a corporate renewable PPA, a company or institution agrees to purchase electricity directly from a green energy generator. Power generated on the site feeds back into the grid, offsetting the amount of electricity consumed by that company.
Workshop B — How to Build Successful Indigenous Partnerships in Renewable Energy: Legal and Practical Considerations
What is it about?
(Registration opens at 1:00pm)
This workshop will delve into Joint ventures, Consultation and Engagement, Employment Contracts, Memorandums of Understanding
- How to structure agreements and build relationships with Indigenous groups
- What are the important risks to consider from the perspective of a First Nation owner and developer/supplier?
- How are First Nation owned projects typically financed and structured?
- Options and practical strategies that would enable Indigenous investment and involvement in future energy projects
