Welcome back to The Pexapark Podcast! In this special edition, we explore how leading developers are evolving into next-generation Independent Power Producers (IPPs).
In this episode Luca Pedretti sits down with Mehmet Energin, Chief Investment Officer at OX2, to discuss how the company is transitioning from a pure-play developer to an active renewable asset owner. With new shareholders, shifting market dynamics, and fast-moving technology, OX2 is building the commercial, digital, and strategic muscles needed to thrive in an era of volatility, capital scarcity, and hybrid portfolios.

-
Why OX2 is returning to the IPP model and how EQT’s 2024 acquisition accelerated the shift

The new value drivers: structuring, operations, and merchant risk management
