Why Attend This Workshop?
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are a critical component in the energy transition, enabling the efficient integration of renewable energy sources into markets. However, the lack of standardized definitions across agreements presents significant challenges to scalability and efficiency.
This workshop aims to address these challenges by:

- Setting Long-Term Goals: Defining a roadmap for establishing standardized PPA definitions that are practical and adaptable.
- Identifying Quick Wins: Exploring immediate opportunities such as aligning definitions with EFET & DENA contracts and mapping them to ACER XML standards.
- Fostering Collaboration: Establishing effective methods for ongoing cooperation, including the use of digital tools, shared documents, and remote meetings.
- Outlining Next Steps: Creating a clear action plan to keep the momentum going beyond the workshop.
