Course: Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (RE PPAs)
7 July 2026 - 16 July 2026
Online Course In the global marketplace of 2020s, both developed and developing economies urgently need to master the key techniques and models for transforming to renewable generation while strengthening the reliability of new energy markets and systems. These focus on adapting and negotiating the latest models for Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (RE PPAs) and on rapidly attracting new private investments in renewable energy sources. Unlike past fossil-fuel based Independent Power Project (IPP) models that featured standardized take-or-pay contracts - today's renewable energy markets demand more innovative incentives to attract RE supply, conform to RE generation availability, ensure power system reliability, as well as more attractive and sustainable mixtures of fuel sources. Government power sector strategies are now struggling to choose among different practical incentives for new private investments in the renewable technologies. Discount for OGEL/OGELFORUM members.

Course: Gas & LNG Markets, Contracts and Pricing
1 September 2026 - 17 September 2026
Online Course Due to the complex geopolitical nature of gas/LNG sourcing and the long-term nature of gas transactions between buyers and sellers, it is commercially prudent for all those involved in this process to know and understand global gas & LNG supply and markets conditions, available methodologies for price determination and prevailing contract structures. A misjudgement in any of these areas could result in inappropriate sourcing decisions, significant adverse financial consequences and legal liabilities. This course has, therefore, been designed to enable the professionals in the gas sector and gas advisory services to make appropriate sourcing decision, construct gas/LNG contracts from a position of strength and knowledge in order to gain a competitive edge in the process.

Course: Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)
20 October 2026 - 29 October 2026
Online Course Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) operate in many different contexts. They can be used to support the development of new projects, or for the supply of energy from existing projects. They can be written by independent power producers, governments or utilities. They can operate in regions with sophisticated power exchanges and markets, and they can also operate in developing countries with a single buyer and a centralized monopoly power utility. In the sessions of this course, we cover each of these contexts. In this course of 15 modules, delivered over 5 sessions, we firstly cover the fundamentals of power purchasing and important concepts that you need to understand to read, write and negotiate PPAs.
