About PPA

A long-term agreement for purchasing electricity, concluded between a power producer and an energy-intensive corporation.

THE CONTRACT

A Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, is a long-term agreement for purchasing electricity. PPAs usually have a duration of 5–15 years, with an annual volume of delivered electricity ranging from 10 to 1000 GWh per year.

THE HEDGE

A PPA functions as a long-term electricity price hedging instrument, benefiting both the power consumer and the electricity producer. Unlike traditional derivatives hedging, PPAs offer flexibility with various delivery and pricing structures.

THE INVESTMENT

PPAs may serve as financial instruments for power developers, producers and investors — particularly when seeking financing for renewable assets under development. By entering into a PPA, the power consumer actively contributes to new renewable investment.

Benefits

Three reasons energy-intensive corporates sign PPAs.

Cost certainty, sustainability credibility, and long-term price risk management — captured in a single PPA structure.

02 BENEFIT

ESG advantages.

By engaging in PPAs, corporations can significantly reduce their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Scope-2 emissions, helping them align with global ESG goals — and giving industrial suppliers a competitive advantage in their supply chain.
