What is a corporate power purchase agreement?

A Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a direct contract between companies and renewable energy producers, without the intervention of a traditional energy supplier. These agreements enable companies to achieve their sustainability goals and secure stable long-term energy prices. A Corporate PPA includes agreements on energy supply volume, price and how risks, such as imbalance costs, are managed. An essential part of this agreement is the role of the balance responsible party, who ensures a balance between supply and demand, and ensures that the energy network remains stable. The balance responsible party also acts as the liaison between the generator and the corporate buyer. Corporate PPAs are usually multi-year contracts that provide protection against price fluctuations in the electricity market by ensuring a consistent supply of energy.

Who are PPAs suitable for?

Large electricity consumers

For companies with high electricity consumption, there are several advantages with a PPA:

Protection against price fluctuations through fixed energy prices
Support in achieving sustainable energy targets and improving environmental image through PPAs with Guarantees of Origin (GOs)
Long-term security of energy supply
Potential long-term cost savings depending on market developments

Trading parties

A PPA offers many advantages for trading parties. Briefly, these benefits are as follows:

Flexibly adjust (curtail) electricity generation for higher revenues in response to market demand
Influence on market dynamics by controlling part of electricity supply
Ability to diversify and manage risks within the portfolio

Promote development through Corporate PPAs

Corporate PPAs allow companies to access cost-efficient and sustainable energy sources while mitigating their financial risks. With a corporate PPA, organisations can better manage their energy costs, achieve their sustainability goals and at the same time strengthen their competitive position in the market.
