Content

  • Evolution and prospects of European energy markets
  • Long‑term electricity markets price curves forecasting methodologies: market balance and probabilistic metrics
  • Energy transition: a complex mechanism
  • Analysis of the draft update of the Spanish NECP
  • Financing of renewable energy projects

Although the evolution of European energy markets in the first half of 2023 has been more stable than expected when the year began, with market prices with a downward trend, it is still essential the need to boost the development of renewable energies on the European continent, to continue advancing in the energy transition and to reduce the energy dependence from abroad.

Energy price curves forecasts are necessary in practically all areas of the energy sector and for all actors that participate in it. Project finance, PPA, M&A, asset valuation, power purchase, operational planning and risk management are just a few examples.

In all these cases, a clear and descriptive vision of the future of markets and prices is necessary to estimate profitability, consumption costs or the value of a project based on the value of the energy it will produce.

In this webinar, the use of probabilistic metrics to obtain forecasts with several decades of horizon will be analysed, explaining what they consist of and how they differ from other methodologies to obtain long‑term market price forecasts. 

The last part of the webinar will analyse the main vectors of the energy transition and how all of them must advance together with the risks of temporary imbalances that add uncertainty to energy systems and markets. In addition, the draft update of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) that the Spanish Government sent to the European Commission at the end of June will be analysed.
