09:00-09:10 Chairman Welcoming Remarks
Laura Huomo – Nordic Head of Energy & Infrastructure, Bird & Bird

09:20-10:00
Who Powers the AI Economy — and Can the Baltic Grid Handle It?
A new model is emerging — renewable developers are no longer just generating power, they are consuming it. Data centres are driving a new wave of co-located renewable infrastructure across the region, but grid capacity, power pricing and the pace of change mean nothing about this is straightforward. Developers, utilities, and grid operators weigh up the opportunity — pros, cons, and what the region still needs to get right.

10:00-10:40
Revenue in a Volatile Market: Modelling, PPAs & Optimisation
With power prices swinging and negative-price hours becoming routine, this session brings together developers, trading and optimisation specialists, and financiers to discuss how revenue actually gets protected — PPA structuring, merchant risk, and what “bankable” now means in a volatile market.

10:40-11:20
Bankable in 2026: Structuring Deals That Get Financed
Banks, development finance institutions and developers compare notes on what’s actually getting financed this year — deal structures, risk allocation, and the gap between announced pipeline and financed projects.

11:20-12:00  Coffee Break

12:00-12:40
Beyond Solar: Does Every Project Now Need a Battery?
Solar economics in the Baltic and Nordic region have transformed — but capture rates are falling as renewable penetration grows, and standalone solar is increasingly hard to finance. Battery storage is changing the equation: co-located BESS improves revenue, stabilises grid connections, and makes projects more bankable. But does every solar project now need a battery to stack up? Developers, financiers and asset owners debate the economics, the pipeline, and whether storage has moved from nice-to-have to essential.

12:40-13:20 (Topic TBC)
Smart Energy: Data, Connectivity and the Regulation That Will Define the Next Decade
Across the Baltic-Nordic region, energy infrastructure is becoming a connected, data-intensive system – from offshore wind assets feeding real-time performance data to aggregators, to smart EV charging networks interacting with grid operators. The opportunity is significant; so is the regulatory exposure. The EU Data Act introduces new rights over machine-generated data that will reshape vendor relationships and asset valuations. Cybersecurity obligations under NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act create hard compliance requirements for connected infrastructure. And data protection considerations follow IoT deployments wherever they go. Developers, investors, and operators who understand the legal layer of the smart energy stack will be better placed to structure deals, manage risk, and move faster. This session opens the conversation.

13:20-14:00
New Money, New Deals: Who’s Investing in Baltic-Nordic Renewables?
Fresh capital is entering the Baltic-Nordic renewables market — new funds, new geographies, new deal structures — alongside the established players who know the region well. But behind the deal flow, a harder question remains: is international institutional capital genuinely committing to the region for the long term, or is it still passing through? This session brings together buyers, sellers and advisers behind recent transactions to ask who is active, what they’re paying, and what it would take to make the Baltics a destination rather than a detour.

14:00-15:00 Lunch Break

15:00-15:40
The Storage Surge: Who’s Building and Why
Battery energy storage has arrived in the Baltic and Nordic region — with utility-scale projects now breaking ground in Estonia, Lithuania and Finland. But the first wave is just that. The pipeline needed to absorb curtailment, stabilise newly independent grids and power an incoming wave of AI data centres is far larger than what is currently being built. Is the business case now standing on its own — and what does it take to turn a first wave into a flood?

15:40-16:20
Hydrogen: Who Actually Needs It and What Will They Pay?
Green hydrogen is moving from ambition to infrastructure in the Baltic-Nordic region — but the gap between production and commercial reality remains the central challenge. This session shifts the conversation from supply to demand — who are the real buyers, what do they need to commit, and can the region build a credible value chain before the window closes?

16:20-17:00
Wind: Onshore & Offshore Pipeline
Onshore wind is delivering now, offshore is the bigger long-term bet — this session brings developers building both, banks financing the next phase, and investors deciding where to deploy capital in the region’s wind pipeline.

17:00 Closing Remarks
