Part II: Advancing Your Renewable Program — Really, Really, Ridiculously Well-Managed Portfolios

You’ve signed the contracts. Now what? As renewable portfolios scale, the real work begins — managing complex EAC positions, staying ahead of tightening reporting standards, and turning operational discipline into measurable financial return.

This session picks up where Part I leaves off, moving beyond implementation into the advanced management challenges that define mature renewable programs. Using a few well-placed analogies from the film Zoolander to frame the discussion, we’ll draw on real-world examples from companies actively running large-scale portfolios as participants explore how to transform their procurement programs from compliance checkboxes into strategic assets. Topics include expert EAC portfolio oversight — including how to identify hidden costs like billing errors, stranded surplus, and year-end reporting gaps — as well as how to blend technology, advisory, and trading capabilities to drive financial performance. The session will also address the evolving regulatory landscape and make the case for audit-ready reporting as a competitive advantage in an era of tightening standards. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of what a high-performing, future-proof renewable program looks like — and a practical roadmap for making sure their program isn’t just really, really, ridiculously good-looking on paper.
