What is a Corporate PPA?

A Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows corporate energy consumers to purchase power directly, and on a long-term basis, from renewable energy generators, even if they’re not located nearby. They provide an alternative to the traditional model, where businesses purchase power from utilities that gather energy from multiple generators.

Corporate PPAs are long term agreements (typically between 10-20 years) that provide price certainty for both the corporate and the generator by using fixed or floor pricing structures.
