Event Preview: Iberian Energy Day 2022

15:00 - 15:30

Our Iberian Energy Day opens this year with a presentation from Álvaro Baillo Moreno, Deputy Head of Gas at Axpo, assessing how Spanish energy markets have been affected by the energy crisis. With conflict at the other end of the European continent continuing to raise gas prices, what is the outlook for continuing supply to Spain this winter?

15:30 - 16:00

Professor at Comillas Pontifical University, Pedro Linares leads session two with a look into how governments across Iberia and beyond have responded to the increasing cost of energy. Have real steps been made to help people and businesses cope with the costs, or have sticking plaster solutions been proposed for political gain?

16:00 - 16:30

Our first round table of the day involves Jesus Reyes, Head Gas & Power Iberia at Vitol and Ignacio Soneira, Director General of Axpo Iberia- who will be discussing the impacts of the Iberian gas price cap. With countries across the continent looking for economic policies to protect energy consumers from increased costs, are there things to be learned from the Spanish approach?

17:00 - 17:30

President of Fortia Energia, Blanca Losada Martin picks things up again after the coffee break with a new perspective on the energy crisis. With so many column inches dedicated to the end consumer, what is actually happening within the energy industry to those businesses also dealing with rising prices? How are they mitigating the impacts?

17:30 - 18:00

Whilst the immediate impacts of the energy crisis are still being both felt and dealt with by everyone, it is unclear if the worst is now behind us. Join Ana Barillas, Head of Iberia for Aurora Energy Research to see what will be the key market drivers for prices in winter 2023/2024.

18:00 - 18:25

Our final individual session of the day is presented by PPA Transaction Manager at Pexapark, Erik Landström. Join him to find out how the energy crisis and the regulatory uncertainty it created has affected the PPA market and how to navigate the new market reality moving forward.

18:25 - 18:40

In the day's final round-table, Erik will be joined by Pablo Villaplana, Director of Operations at OMIClear. They will be discussing the upcoming challenges for those looking to secure Power Purchase Agreements and where opportunities may lie in the Spanish energy markets.
