Talking Power Podcast: Navigating CfDs, CPPAs & the Future of Renewable Energy Contracts

Talking Power is a podcast series that discusses the future of energy and decarbonization, specifically within the context of UK businesses. Presented by Tim McManan-Smith from The Energyst, and accompanied by EDF experts, the series delves into a variety of topics, including strategies for achieving net zero, solar PV for business, and prospects for the UK's energy landscape.

In this episode of The Energyst Podcast, host Tim McManan-Smith sits down with Tom Abbott, PPA Director at EDF, and Andrew Peyman, Head of Energy Sales at Innova, to unpack the rapidly shifting landscape of renewable energy contracts. 

Together, they explore the recent reforms to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme and the implications of the AR7 delay, how CfD PPAs compare with Corporate PPAs (CPPAs) and the growing influence of market volatility and power price cannibalisation on PPA strategies.
