Long-term power purchase agreements (corporate power purchase agreements, CPPAs) are gaining in popularity. They are an attractive solution for green energy generators who are looking for ways to make their projects bankable. This is particularly important now when high power prices are discouraging them from participating in the RES support scheme.

A growing interest in the CPPAs can also be observed among consumers for whom they can serve as an important tool for optimizing the cost of purchasing power (fixing energy prices over a longer time horizon).

Why us?

Our specialists combine unique competences in power regulation, financial markets, and can also boast many years of experience in the RES sector and in advising banks and financing institutions. This is particularly important from the point of view of consultancy in the scope of the so-called virtual power purchase agreements (virtual PPAs, VPPAs) constituting a financial instrument subject to specific regulations (MIFID II, EMIR).
