In Europe, more than 5.8 GW of Corporate Power purchase agreements were signed in 2020, more than doubling the size in 2019. As the PPA markets continue to grow, let’s discuss the challenges, risks, and benchmark best practices.
- Why risk allocation is still vital: how to avoid common risk, value, and development traps of a PPA
- Growth in corporate Power Purchase Agreements driven by volatile energy markets
- Restructuring Power Purchase Agreements: compromise on price and PPA length
- Future evolution of renewables and how this will affect PPA supply and demand
- Balancing project financing requirements with corporate sustainability goals
- The state of development of PPA markets across Europe
- Regulation and the impact in PPA
Our expert panel at 2nd Power Purchase Agreements:
Alpiq is a leading energy company in Switzerland and the largest energy service provider with focus on European markets. Alpiq will off-take power from RPC’s Merkkikallio wind farm with a long-term PPA, enabling additional renewable power production into the Finnish power system.
The wind farm is located near the city of Vaasa, in the Finnish Southern Ostrobothnian region, and consists of 15 wind turbines having the rated power of 82.5 MW. With this PPA, both Alpiq and RPC increase the stability of their business plans and reduce market risks. Alpiq is supporting the transition to CO2-free power production in the Nordics.
Statkraft is a generator of renewable energy, as well as Norway’s largest and the Nordic region’s third largest energy producer. Statkraft is a leading supplier of short- and long-term power purchase agreements, also known as Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
Statkraft will rope in Bavaria’s largest solar park (equivalent of around 60 soccer fields), and 200 wind turbines (across Germany) to meet the renewable energy needs of Daimler AG or Mercedes-Benz’s PPA. By integrating solar and wind power volumes Statkraft will help the automotive company realize its plants need for 100% renewable energy 24/7. Mercedes-Benz also has various other PPAs signed with Poland and Norway.
