The October webinar will once again feature Deloitte, taking part in this event for the seventh consecutive year. Its speakers will share their views on the financing of renewable energy and storage projects in the current energy market environment.

During the session, the recent evolution of the main European energy markets and their prospects for winter 2026-2027 will be analysed, with particular attention to factors such as high gas prices and the signals from electricity futures markets for the coming months.

The financing of renewable energy and storage projects will be another of the webinar’s main topics. The prospects for batteries and hybridisation will also be addressed, along with their role in the development of new projects and the main challenges and opportunities associated with these technologies.

In addition, the webinar will analyse the role of market forecasts in financing processes, audits and portfolio valuation, where having a robust view of the future evolution of the markets is essential for assessing project profitability and risks.
