How to use PPAs to secure lower-cost and low-carbon electricity

Webinar overview 

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have become an important procurement option for energy-intensive industries seeking greater price stability while supporting their decarbonisation objectives. However, selecting the right PPA structure and understanding the associated risks remain key challenges for many industrial energy buyers. 

From managing profile and balancing risk to evaluating shaping costs and contract structures, organisations must carefully assess whether a PPA is the right fit for their energy strategy. 

In this session, Josephine Steppat from Montel and Killian Daly from Energy Tag will explore how energy-intensive businesses can evaluate PPAs alongside more traditional procurement approaches. The discussion will examine where PPAs can deliver value, the barriers that continue to limit adoption, and the market and regulatory developments that could make PPAs more accessible to industrial consumers, including public support schemes for addressing the shaping costs. 

What we’ll cover 

• When do PPAs make financial sense for industrial electricity consumers? 

• The different corporate PPA structures,how they work. and which ones are most attractive to industrial electricity consumers 

• How to manage profile, balancing and shaping risks 

• PPAs versus traditional electricity supply contracts 

• Lessons learned from industrial companies already using PPAs 

• What role can legislators and regulators play in supporting wider PPA adoption, including facilitating standardised contracts,enabling longer-term cross-border PPAs, and addressing shaping costs ?
