Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are long-term agreements between an energy supplier and a corporate customer. Their aim is to stabilize energy costs for enterprises, enable access to green energy and support the implementation of goals related to the "Green Deal" and the green revolution. PPAs allow for detailed determination of the terms of purchase, including the amount of energy, price and accounting method, which provides companies with predictability of costs and protection against price fluctuations on the energy market.
The conclusion of the cPPA is a response to the growing needs of companies in the field of sustainable development and responding to global environmental challenges. By using PPAs, companies not only reduce their carbon footprint, but also benefit from the financial benefits of securing attractive energy rates in the long term.
PPA/cPPA - What are they and why are they concluded?
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and cPPAs (Corporate Power Purchase Agreements) are long-term power purchase agreements that are concluded between energy generators and consumers, often corporations. The main objective of these contracts is to provide companies with stable and predictable energy purchase costs over a long period of time, which allows for better financial planning and reduced price risk.
PPAs and cPPAs are particularly important in the context of sustainability, as they often involve energy from renewable sources. With these agreements, companies can reduce their carbon footprint while supporting the development of green technologies.
