An “8760” (also known as a “typical meteorological year,” or “TMY”) is the expected typical generation for a given wind or solar project for each of the 8,760 hours in a non-leap year. Despite their widespread use in the renewable energy industry, using an 8760 to project financial performance can lead to significant errors in revenue modeling.
Purchasing renewable energy is a means decarbonization, but renewable energy projects are not all equal when it comes to cutting carbon. Locational Marginal Emissions (LMEs) measure carbon emission avoided by renewable energy projects at the most granular spatial level: the electrical node where energy is injected into the grid.
REsurety contributes a chapter on how to manage risk in virtual PPAs through Volume Firming Agreements in this new report by RE-Source, a joint platform of WindEurope, SolarPower Europe, the RE100, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
REsurety and Energy GPS have joined forces again to empirically analyze how wind farms with P99 Hedges would have fared in ERCOT in the record-setting 2018-2019 period.
For C&I Buyers looking to mitigate risks in their PPAs, CohnReznick provides new accounting guidance on Volume Firming Agreements and Settlement Guarantee Agreements in a whitepaper co-published with REsurety.
REsurety’s CEO Lee Taylor offered insight into this new report by The Business Renewables Center (BRC), a program of Rocky Mountain Institute. Fill out
Orrick, Microsoft and REsurety describe the Proxy Generation PPA: what it is and why it represents a necessary evolution of the corporate clean energy buyer’s contract.
REsurety and Energy GPS partnered to bring you this empirical analysis of how wind farms with fixed volume swaps (also known as P99 Hedges or “Bank Hedges”) may be underestimating the impact of hourly mismatches in their financial model.
