PPA's as a Swap

A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a bilateral agreement between a buyer and a seller of electricity. It involves the exchange of electrons, either financially or physically. The PPA regulates the price and volume of the exchanged electricity. In Europe, PPA's typically refer to long-term contracts aimed at financing the construction of new renewable assets. The PPA market has seen significant growth, with hundreds of deals being closed in recent years.
