IPFA Future Leaders Network Continental Europe
Navigating Grid Congestion Challenges and What This Means for Future Project Development
Join the IPFA Future Leaders Network for an interactive discussion on the evolving landscape of grid congestion challenges and project bankability. This session will explore how grid congestion, regulatory shifts, and impact financing influence investment decisions and project viability. We will also examine the practical challenges of grid congestion and ways of overcoming these challenges from the perspectives of owners/developers, lenders/investors and grid connectors. We will look at the regulatory tools as well as practical solutions from a contractual perspective, and what they mean for the next generation of infrastructure professionals. Gain insights from industry experts and connect with peers shaping the future of project development.
