Power Purchase Agreements for Developers and Corporates

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) drive the buildout of renewable assets

At the heart of our Renewable Energy Trading & Optimisation business lie our renewable Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that deliver on three primary pillars strengthening European energy markets: renewable capacity building, long-term contracts for price hedging, and physical energy delivery.

We create both Power Purchase Agreements for developers of renewable assets as well as Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) for corporates seeking to power their business with energy from renewable assets.

What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

When developers look to unlock the capital needed to finance new renewable assets, the business case presented will typically require a long-term agreement that details payback period to banking partners.

Through securing developers with long-term fixed prices on their production, we’re able to provide stable revenue forecasting for up to ten years – enabling the conditions necessary for financial institutions and third-party investors to grant loans to independent developers. In exchange, we carry both the risks and rewards inherent to off taking and trading the power in wholesale electricity markets.

Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA)

We are seeing a rising number of corporate consumers curious as to the merits of CPPAs for their business and energy sourcing strategies. Strong upward price movements have triggered an influx of businesses looking not only to curtail their carbon emissions but also achieve greater long-term budget security and stability on their energy costs.

We’re focused on delivering transparent and all-inclusive CPPAs from source to delivery, crafting consumption agreements to match the exact requirements and operational needs of corporate offtakers.
