    Achieving net zero through a Corporate PPA

    Take steps to achieve your business’s net zero ambitions by establishing a Corporate PPA (CPPA). By entering into a CPPA, you commit to a long-term partnership with renewable generation sites, enabling you to claim 'additionality' when associated with a new build project, thereby demonstrating your contribution to wider climate change targets.

    What’s a CPPA?

    A Corporate PPA enables a business to make a long-term renewable energy commitment with a generator, providing long-term price certainty to mitigate heightened market volatility. In return, the generator benefits from secure, long-term revenue streams, enabling them to secure the financing necessary for project development.

    For businesses, this provides clarity on the source of energy procured. Contracting with a renewable generator via a CPPA provides a clear and traceable source of both power and REGOs over an extended period that can align well with long-term and impactful sustainability goals.
