Do PPAs have a future?
More power than ever is being procured through government backed CfDs, so how and why will corporates continue to buy power directly?
This week we’re joined by serial entrepreneur and CEO of Renewabl Juan Pablo Cerda to discuss the unique benefits of PPAs, and how the market is evolving to offer more sophisticated power profiles to buyers.
Alongside our host, former government advisor and expert in market design Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, Juan Pablo explains how better data and tech are allowing us to move to 24/7 power matching, where corporates can be confident that the power they use is matched by renewable generation in real-time.
There are still challenges to the market, which is remarkably old school in places, but corporate contracts have the ability to go beyond base regulation to get more renewables built and be more responsive to what companies actually need.
