Proa Networking Evening: Lessons from Commissioning the NEM\u2019s First Hybrid

Victor Depoorter and Edward Woodford share lessons from commissioning and operating the first hybrid in the NEM. Free, with drinks.
About this Event

Hybrid sites are moving from the drawing board into day-to-day operation across the NEM. Pairing generation and storage behind one connection point opens up new ways to capture value, but it also changes how assets are bid, dispatched and managed.

Join Dr Victor Depoorter, Founder & CEO of Proa Energy Intelligence, and Edward Woodford, Principal Specialist – Energy Systems and Markets, for an informal evening on what operating mixed aggregates looks like in practice. They’ll share what they’re seeing on the ground, where the operational friction sits, and where the commercial opportunities are emerging.

This is a free event. Stay for drinks and conversation with peers working across renewable operations, trading and asset management.

What we’ll cover

  • What commissioning a hybrid involved, and where it differed from a standalone asset
  • The operational challenges of running a mixed aggregate day to day
  • What they’d do differently next time
  • Where the commercial opportunities are for future hybrid sites
  • Open Q&A
