Insights into PPAs for businesses


In times of high costs, volatile energy prices and the progressive liberalization of energy markets, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to reduce market price risks and increase their own energy independence. PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) not only secure the price in the long term, but also offer contracting parties a great deal of flexibility and increased planning security through private autonomy. The option to rely on renewable energy sources through PPAs is not only a long-term model, but also a sustainable one.

“PPAs are a key building block of the energy transition. In economically turbulent times, they enable long-term energy supplies at favorable conditions. This makes them particularly relevant for European and Austrian industries.”

A piece of the energy transition puzzle: Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

A Power Purchase Agreement is a long-term electricity supply contract, typically concluded between an electricity producer and an electricity consumer. In this contract, all the framework conditions, such as the amount of electricity to be supplied, the price and the transaction process, are defined. PPAs offer great flexibility in the drafting of the contract, and with our 360°EE practice group, we bring years of experience to ensure smooth and straightforward legal implementation.

“PPAs are also an attractive marketing model for producers because they provide significant planning and financing security thanks to the long-term agreed prices.”

Expert insights

We also regularly share our experience on all topics related to PPAs through presentations.

  • Johannes Hartlieb and Caroline Weiß, for example, provided insights into the topic during their presentations on November 27th and 29th as part of the imh lectures. The discussions that followed confirmed once again that PPAs have gained a strong foothold in the market and are an essential piece of the energy transition puzzle.
  • This week, on December 4th, Martin Stempkowski will give an overview of direct marketing through PPAs at the Green Gas Congress.
