Project Finance forum: Aggregation innovation: How do we deliver platform project financings?
Following last year’s standout event, which welcomed delegates from top firms like Herbert Smith Freehills, Ashurst, BCLP, Dentons, and A&O Shearman and senior delegates from HSBC, Citi Bank, UK Export Finance and Deutsche Bank, we’re excited to announce Project Finance Forum 2025.
Aggregation Innovation - how do we deliver portfolio financing?
As renewable energy markets mature, the efficient financing of smaller projects - especially in emerging technologies like battery storage - has become a key challenge.
This panel brings together leading voices in project finance to explore how aggregation, innovative structuring, and portfolio approaches are unlocking new opportunities.
We’ll discuss the financing of co-located assets, the unique demands of battery storage, cross-border aggregation strategies, and how technology is streamlining due diligence and execution in complex transactions.
Core Themes:
Aggregation Strategies: Bundling smaller projects - including batteries and co-located solar-plus-storage - into scalable, bankable portfolios.
Financing Innovation: Structuring for higher leverage and shorter tenors in battery deals; optimizing flexibility through platform models.
Cross-Border & Political Risk: Using platforms to access stable markets; navigating political risk in higher risk jurisdictions.
Technology & Standardization: Automating processes to manage multiple closings common to portfolio financings and reduce due diligence friction.
Efficiency & Risk Management: Streamlining execution while balancing lender risk and sponsor expectations across diverse technologies.
