Rethinking Risk in Clean Energy: Negative Prices and New Value Streams

The Aurora Energy Finance Conference 2025 will bring together the sector’s leading voices to address one of the most pressing challenges in Europe’s energy transition: how to build resilient, future-ready financial strategies in an era of rising price volatility and negative pricing. As renewables take a dominant position in the energy mix, these market shifts are disrupting established business models and forcing lenders, developers and policymakers to reassess risk and revenue structures.

Amid this disruption, opportunities are emerging for those prepared to respond. From the growing importance of storage and flexible assets to shifting market signals and evolving financing approaches, the conference will offer expert insights and practical strategies to help stakeholders lead the energy transition while maintaining investment confidence.

Join the discussion with your fellow industry leaders this October in Paris—get your free ticket now!

Catch the best moments from our 2024 event

Why attend?

  • Get ahead of the curve: Negative prices, grid congestion, and subsidy reform are already reshaping project economics—this is where you hear what’s next.
  • Talk to the people making the calls: From project sponsors to debt and equity providers, the room is full of those actively developing and financing energy assets across Europe.
  • See how others adapt: Discover how leading players—especially lenders in the energy storage space—are getting ahead in today’s high-risk environment by reflecting their understanding of new, complex technologies in their investment models, building confidence in flexibility, and the new trading technologies.
  • Cut through the noise: We focus on the hard questions: where capital flows, what makes a project bankable today, and how to future-proof financial strategies.
  • Build the right connections: Meet senior peers in a setting designed for meaningful dialogue—not just business cards and panels.

About

Europe’s energy markets are rushing into a new era. As renewables grow their share in the mix, price volatility, especially the sharp rise in negative prices, reshapes market dynamics and investment decisions. This new normal is challenging developers, lenders, and policymakers to rethink risk, revenue models, and financial resilience across the board.

Negative prices are no longer a distant concern. Germany and the Nordics have already experienced record lows, while Spain is now seeing a sudden onset of such market conditions. These developments are creating uncertainty not only for merchant projects but also for those backed by PPAs.

Yet, there are upsides for those ready to adapt. Flexible energy technologies, especially energy storage and advanced trading, are moving from support roles to centre stage. Still, the economics of storage remain complex. Value can vary significantly by project, and many lenders are still climbing the learning curve to understand the sources and scale of revenue fluctuations tied to storage.

The road ahead remains uncertain. How long will negative pricing trends persist? Can existing business models survive without a redesign? And what role should the finance sector play in accelerating Europe’s transition while safeguarding investment stability?

These are just some of the questions we’ll tackle at the Aurora Energy Finance Conference 2025. From lenders navigating risk in an evolving policy landscape to developers tackling grid constraints and investors seeking bankable strategies, the event brings together the leading voices in European energy finance. Secure your free place today and help shape the financial playbook for Europe’s energy transition.
