The third panel of the Balkan Solar Summit, dedicated to the purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES) and the types of Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), revealed key insights under the moderation of Marko Janković and with panelists Dejan Stojčevski, Uroš Bojanić, Mislav Slade Šilović, Blaž Bušić, and Luka Bjeković.
The panel emphasized the importance of long-term PPA contracts and the need for the integration of Western Balkan countries into a unified European electricity market. The risks assumed by both producers and buyers of electricity from RES through long-term PPA contracts were clearly defined.
At the same time, the message was sent that the era of comfort is behind us, and if we want renewable energy and a green transition, all parties, including banks, must take certain risks. The 45% increase in the number of PPA contracts in the EU in 2023 shows a more active role for end consumers, particularly through corporate PPA agreements. These conclusions lay the foundation for further.
