Power Purchase Agreements - Electricity contracts with a future

Predictable electricity costs and sustainable supply for companies

Fluctuating energy prices, volatile electricity markets and the pressure to decarbonise pose new challenges for many companies.

At the same time, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) open up sustainable and economically attractive solutions: With a PPA, industrial, commercial and logistics companies can purchase green electricity directly from renewable plants - predictable, long-term and at stable conditions.

PPAs not only offer an economically stable basis for commercial energy supply, but also make an active contribution to achieving climate targets. They enable the purchase of electricity generated from renewable sources - either directly from the company's own site or from an external plant.

At the same time, they promote the implementation of ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, Governance) by supporting companies in their responsibility for the environment, society and sustainable corporate governance. In the long term, they can also contribute to stable and favourable energy prices.

On-Site Power Purchase Agreements

With an on-site PPA, the energy is generated and utilised directly on site at the customer's premises. For example, we construct a photovoltaic system on the roof or on an open area of the property owner's property, take over the financing, project management and operation - and supply the generated electricity directly to the consumer in this property.

This decentralised solution eliminates some or all of the grid fees and other ancillary electricity costs. The consumer benefits from a long-term fixed electricity price and a green energy certificate.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Direct power supply from your own roof

  • No investment required by the customer

  • Full project responsibility with Energy Partners

Off-Site Power Purchase Agreements

Off-site PPAs enable the purchase of green electricity from an external generation plant - for example a large solar park or a wind power plant. The energy generated is fed into the public grid and allocated to the electricity consumer via a balancing group model.

The generation plant does not have to be located in the immediate vicinity of the company. We take care of integration into the supply chain and all regulatory requirements and ensure a reliable supply - transparently and contractually secured.

Typical features:

  • Electricity supply from external RE plant via the grid

  • Location-independent supply

  • Integration via balancing groups and certified guarantees of origin

Hybrid Power Purchase Agreements

Hybrid PPAs combine various renewable energy sources - usually photovoltaics and wind power - with battery storage. This combination balances out fluctuations in generation, increases security of supply and enables a more flexible supply of electricity.

By temporarily storing energy, electricity can be used or fed into the grid when it makes the most economic sense. Hybrid PPAs therefore offer a future-proof solution, particularly for companies with fluctuating load profiles or high energy requirements.

Particular strengths:

  • Reduction of generation and profile risks

  • Optimum utilisation of storage technologies

  • Greater flexibility in consumption and feed-in

Customised PPA solutions for trade and industry

As an experienced provider of commercial and industrial energy solutions, we develop customised PPA models - tailored to technical framework conditions, consumption profiles and economic objectives. Our services cover the entire process: from analysis, contract design and construction through to integration into existing energy systems - including Photovoltaic systems, Battery storage systems (BESS), E-Charging infrastructure and Energy management systems.

Whether site-based or grid-based supply - we identify the right type of PPA for your application and integrate it into a sustainable overall concept.
