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?
