Are Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) key to a clean energy future?

As the UK moves ever closer to its 2030 clean power deadline, there is more focus than ever on how this ambition will be realised.

The UK government has outlined its targets - quadruple offshore wind to 55 GW, triple solar power to 50 GW and double onshore wind capacity to 35 GW - meaning that a huge amount of infrastructure and investment is needed to turn the low-carbon transition into a reality.

The Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme is seen as the key way to make this happen, and it has been successful over the years in financing renewable energy projects.

But, what about those projects that don’t get CfD funding, such as the energy generation assets being built on-site at commercial and public sector premises across the country? This is where the CPPA looks set to become increasingly popular. 

CPPAs have considerable benefits for both businesses and generators, but knowing where to start can be tricky.
