XEnergy organized an insightful workshop on Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which was attended by 50 eager participants. The workshop provided a comprehensive understanding of practical strategies and best practices, highlighting the different types of PPAs, associated risks, risk management and many other important elements of successful #ppa negotiation and implementation. Through engaging discussions and expert-led presentations, participants gained valuable insights into the financial, operational and legal aspects of PPAs.
We celebrated our first birthday with numerous members, partners and dear friends who have recognized XEnergy as an important player in the green and just energy transition from the very beginning. We thank you all for your support in our first year and for the wonderful company and very joyful celebration. We would like to thank our Management Board, our Advisory Board and all our members, both individual and corporate. Our 1st XEnergy birthday sponsor, TTCables, who is also our corporate member, ensured there was no shortage of good food, drinks and music.
