Frequently asked questions
published by the companyWhat are Corporate PPAs (cPPAs)?
Corporate PPAs secure long-term revenue streams through direct agreements with energy consumers seeking renewable electricity. They offer fixed pricing over the long-term, premium rates for high-quality renewable attributes, bankable counterparties with strong credit profiles, simplified contract structures for faster execution, and financial or physical settlement.
What are Utility PPAs?
Utility PPAs provide access to wholesale markets through agreements with utilities and energy suppliers. These arrangements provide market access for projects of all sizes while maintaining operational flexibility, with flexible contract terms and volumes, standardised agreements for efficient execution, portfolio aggregation opportunities, and financial or physical settlement.
What support services are available for PPAs?
Support services maximize the value and performance of power agreements through comprehensive operational support including sleeving and delivery for seamless power and gas execution, balancing services for compliance and volume fluctuations, ancillary revenue optimisation beyond core energy sales, and operational support for existing PPAs across counterparties.
What are Energy Certificates?
Renewable energy certificates are tradeable documents that prove renewable energy was generated. Common types include RECs, I-RECs, REZs, and GoOs. Each certificate represents one megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean electricity or gas.
What's the difference between power and gas certificates?
Power certificates verify renewable electricity generation, while gas certificates verify renewable gas production. Both provide verifiable proof for sustainability reporting.
How do standalone solutions benefit us?
Independent certificate procurement provides flexibility, cost transparency, and strategic control compared to bundled energy supply contracts. You optimize timing and pricing without long-term commitments.
Which certificate type do we need?
This depends on your energy usage, sustainability goals, and reporting requirements. Our specialists provide personalized recommendations based on your specific situation.
Can certificates support our ESG and regulatory reporting?
Yes. Certificates are essential for documenting renewable energy use in compliance with standards like the GHG Protocol (Scope 2), CDP, and upcoming EU CSRD requirements. We ensure your certificate strategy aligns with your reporting needs and sustainability claims.
