Even as attention shifts to new technologies, wind and solar projects remain a vital puzzle piece when it comes to energy transition in the Americas. This session considers:

Will corporate PPAs play a big role in the future of the Latin American renewables market? How are they structured? Who are the leading and emerging offtakers?
Are DFI’s crowding out commercial lending and capital markets when it comes to providing debt? How will the situation develop?
How do project financiers distribute risk across renewables panels?
Examining the success of BESS projects in LatAm. Which destinations stand to benefit from the battery boom next? What regulatory frameworks are needed to accelerate deployment?
