As more renewable energy connects to the grid, one question keeps coming up: who carries the risk when the wind doesn’t blow, or prices crash? The future of clean power doesn’t just depend on building more generation, it hinges on whether markets can give investors price certainty and revenue stability.

In this episode of Transmission, we explore how risk is traded, priced, and managed in modern power markets. We look at how hedging, PPAs, and virtual power contracts have evolved and why the clean energy transition needs smarter financial tools to scale. Lee Taylor, CEO of REsurety joins Quentin to share how market design, trading strategies, and better risk management can unlock new renewable investment when traditional PPAs fall short.

Key topics covered include:

• Why price volatility makes financing renewables harder and riskier.

• The rise of virtual PPAs and hedging instruments in clean energy.

• How merchant risk and cannibalisation impact renewable project value.

• Why new financial products are essential for scaling renewables globally.

• The future of power market design and investor confidence.
