09:50 Charting the Offshore Wind Pipeline: Projects, Procurement & Progress in the Nordic-Baltic Region

Offshore wind is gaining serious momentum across the Nordic and Baltic seas, with governments pushing forward seabed auctions and developers racing toward first power. This session offers an inside look at the near-term pipeline, featuring project updates, procurement strategies, and market-ready insights from developers at the forefront. Participants will hear directly from project leaders preparing to deploy in the next 2–5 years—sharing what they’ve learned, what’s working, and what’s still holding them back. From transmission bottlenecks to supply chain timelines, we’ll explore how this new generation of offshore wind is reshaping the region’s energy landscape.

10:30 Hydrogen & Ammonia in Action: Developing Bankable, Scalable Projects in the Nordics and Baltics 

From large-scale hydrogen initiatives along the Baltic Sea to the Nordic push for ammonia exports, the region is positioning itself at the forefront of clean fuel innovation But scaling these projects means overcoming hurdles in infrastructure, regulation, and market readiness. We’ll unpack the key elements that define a credible, investable hydrogen or ammonia project in today’s Nordic-Baltic context—and examine what industry leaders and policymakers must do to transition from pilot projects to full-scale deployment.

 11:10 Morning Coffee Break

 11:40 Optimizing PPAs in a Dynamic Energy Landscape: Managing Price Fluctuations through Contract Innovation, Flexibility, and Energy Storage

Let’s discuss how PPA stakeholders can better handle the challenges posed by price volatility in the power market. As renewable energy deployment expands, leveraging demand-side flexibility and energy storage solutions becomes essential to maintaining the value and reliability of PPAs. We’ll explore how adaptable consumption and grid-responsive behaviors can support the long-term success of renewable contracts. The session will also cover how PPAs can be structured to effectively manage system risks such as curtail ment and fluctuating prices. Our experts will share insights on expanding access to flexibility markets and storage incentives, enabling industrial buyers to confidently secure competitive and dependable renewa ble energy agreements in today’s evolving energy environment.

12:35 Solar + Storage: The Next Pillar of the Nordic-Baltic Energy System

As the Baltic-Nordic region pushes to scale its renewable energy ambitions, solar PV is emerging as a serious contender. But solar alone isn’t enough. To unlock its full value, it must be paired with flexible solutions like battery energy storage systems that help manage volatility, optimize grid flows, and deliver energy when it’s most needed. This panel dives deep into the intersection of solar and BESS: the current momentum, the roadblocks, and the strategic moves required to scale both technologies efficiently, profitably, and within grid constraints.

15:00 Securing the Shift: Financing Tools to De-Risk the Energy Transition in the Nordics and Baltics

Accelerating clean energy deployment in the Nordic-Baltic region requires more than ambition—it demands investment at scale. This session will explore how governments, multilateral institutions, and financial actors can work together to de-risk clean energy investments and unlock large-scale infrastructure financing across diverse technologies and regions. We will examine the tools that matter, innovative financing models and can blended finance be a key tool for de-risking and scaling clean energy investments?

 15:40 What’s Driving Investment in the Nordics & Baltics?

From offshore wind and battery storage to hydrogen hubs and grid upgrades, the Nordic-Baltic region is offering a growing landscape of investable clean energy assets. But where exactly is capital flowing—and what’s still too risky to touch? This panel brings together leading infrastructure funds, private equity firms, and institutional investors to share how they’re evaluating clean energy opportunities in the region. What makes a project bankable today? Where are the gaps in deal flow? And how are regulatory frameworks and cross-border collaboration shaping investment appetite?
