Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
are long-term contracts between energy producers and corporate buyers that ensure price stability, access to renewable energy, and alignment with sustainability goals.
By defining energy volumes, pricing, and settlement terms, PPAs provide cost predictability and protection against market fluctuations. They also help companies reduce carbon emissions while securing favorable long-term energy rates and supporting the global green transition.

Who Can Benefit from PPAs?
Requirements of PPAs
Significant Energy Demand
PPAs are most advantageous for large energy consumers such as industrial facilities, data centers, or office complexes, where high energy use makes long-term contracts both practical and financially rewarding.
Long-Term Planning Capability
Since PPAs typically last 10 to 25 years, they require companies with financial stability and a strategic approach to long-term energy management and budgeting.
Commitment to Sustainability
Businesses focused on ESG goals and carbon reduction benefit from PPAs as part of their renewable energy and sustainability strategies, supporting the global green transition.
Partnership with Experienced Advisors
Due to their complexity, PPAs require specialized expertise. Partnering with experienced energy advisors like Enerace ensures optimal negotiation, contract management, and risk mitigation.
Constraints of PPAs
Regulatory Framework
PPAs must comply with local and national regulations, which can affect contract duration, pricing models, and legal requirements.
Supplier Availability
In certain regions, limited renewable energy capacity may reduce the number of potential suppliers, impacting offer competitiveness.
