Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI, Audits & All-of-the-Above: Nashville Takeaways from Perspectives Impact
Q: If it's not a leading question, Drew, is there anything that you would have said from your two days seemed like a kind of big theme or a big thing that people were talking about?
Drew notes that AI dominated conversations, with optimism about its potential tools and concerns about how to apply it, especially as data and energy procurement aspects (like PPAs) are affected, and he emphasizes the practical implications for Scope 2/Scope 3 and ongoing market dynamics.
Poland’s PPA Surge: Why 2025 Was the Turning Point
Q: What renewables mix is driving Poland's expansion, and what longer-term technologies should buyers watch?
Predominantly solar PV expansion with wind growth being more challenging to scale due to permitting, but offshore wind auctions showed strong results; storage (BESS) is becoming a critical enabling technology that could shape contract structures and reduce risk.
Poland’s PPA Surge: Why 2025 Was the Turning Point
Q: Am I right that 2025 slowed a bit for PPAs overall, and is Poland starting to buck that trend?
Yes, 2025 was challenging with plateauing deal flows in many markets, but Poland bucked the trend by delivering a record year for megawatts under PPA, indicating accelerated growth and maturation.
On‑Site Solar: Opportunities, Obstacles & What Corporates Need to Know
Q: What role does battery storage play in on-site solar deployments?
BESS boosts self-consumption, enables tariff optimization, and can unlock ancillary revenue in some markets, making the combination with solar a stronger value proposition despite added complexity.
On‑Site Solar: Opportunities, Obstacles & What Corporates Need to Know
Q: What are the most important factors to make on-site solar work for a large corporate?
The key is a solid business case and strong multi-site portfolio thinking, plus dedicated stakeholder alignment across procurement, sustainability, facilities, insurance, and finance to ensure all aspects are addressed before deployment.
