Welcome back to The Pexapark Podcast! In this special edition, we explore how next-generation Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are evolving beyond development into active commercial and operational players.

In this episode Luca Pedretti sits down with Joanna Ellis, Chief Commercial Officer at Nadara, to discuss how the company – formed in 2024 through the merger of Renantis and Venti and Energy – is shaping the IPP-plus model. With over 4 GW of capacity across nine European markets, Nadara is expanding from onshore wind into solar and offshore wind while managing revenues end to end through in-house trading, origination, analytics, and risk management.
