Corporate PPA Management
Designing the ideal energy purchasing strategy to suit your needs
What is a CPPA?
A Corporate Power Purchase Agreement is a long-term contract, where companies will agree to purchase electricity directly from a renewable energy generator.
Solar and wind farms are the most common renewable energy generators that are grid connected.
How they work?
- Private agreement between a generator and off-taker (buyer) for the purchase of renewable electricity.
- Negotiate power prices and embedded benefits between parties.
- Options for short or long-term agreements, typically 5-20 years.
- Power can be metered by off-taker, supplier and sleeved into import agreement.
- Renewable certificates are provided as part of the contracts for the proof of power origin.
- Security of power price for fixed term versus negotiating every year in volatile markets.
