​My client is an international IPP with operations across Europe. They develop and deliver photovoltaic and battery energy storage project systems to the entire value chain—from project development and financing to construction, operation, maintenance, and energy management.

The Role

• Origination of offtake solutions for power and other commodities/services produced by my client’s renewable plants. This includes PPAs, tariffs, subsidies, tenders, CO₂ certificates, Guarantees of Origin (GOs), and short-term standardized power market products (e.g., peak-load for merchant assets).

• Origination of potential customers for PPAs (both Utility and Corporate PPAs), as well as other types of offtake and commercialization of services for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and hydrogen.

• Structured handling of PPAs and other offtake agreements, including standardized power market products—from identifying off-takers to shortlisting, bidding, evaluation, negotiation, and contract execution.

• Development and execution of tender processes for CPPAs initiated by my client, as well as managing participation in third-party tenders, defining bidding strategies, and crafting commercial offers for corporate off-takers under direct origination.

• Creation of innovative marketing concepts, including solutions integrating battery systems, and managing the origination, negotiation, and closure of offtake and service agreements for co-located assets (PV+BESS).

• Supporting the analysis of the Italian power market, assessing regulatory impacts on energy market activities and offtake strategies in Italy.
