What we do

Power purchase agreements

Powering businesses with renewable enegy

Power purchase agreements (PPAs) can help businesses achieve sustainability goals and lock in long-term pricing for electricity, helping to manage the risk of volatile power markets and generate savings on energy bills.

A PPA is a contract between a seller and a buyer of electricity, usually long-term in nature and specifically regarding the sale and purchase of renewable energy.

Our team of experts have:


Over 90+ GW

of renewable energy capacity in development globally


Supported 5+ GW 

of renewable energy projects with PPAs


Supported 25+ corporates

with their green transition through PPAs

The benefits of PPAs

Achieve sustainability goals

A PPA can move businesses closer to achieving carbon neutrality by lowering scope 2 emissions (emissions from the purchase of energy). PPA solutions can help with scope 3 (supply chain) emissions.

Increase control

Energy markets are volatile. PPAs can lock in power prices, reduce exposure to market fluctuations and provide long-term budget certainty. 

Flexible PPAs can also enable businesses to secure a discount on wider market prices, lowering energy spend.

Know the source of electricity

Renewable energy certificates, for example Guarantees of Origin (GoO) or other Renewable Energy Certificates track the source of renewable power.
