Corporate PPAs for UK Businesses: Strategic Fit, Risk, and Governance
Corporate PPAs are no longer limited to the largest energy users. More UK businesses are assessing them as part of cost stability and sustainability strategy.
Strategic Fit Criteria
PPAs suit firms with clear medium-term demand forecasts and strong governance around contractual risk.
Poor fit decisions often stem from unclear load profiles or weak internal ownership.
Risk Architecture
Volume mismatch, counterparty risk, and regulatory shifts must be modeled explicitly before commitment.
Cross-functional review between finance, legal, and operations is essential.
Implementation Reality
Organisations that define success metrics upfront are more likely to realise both financial and decarbonisation outcomes.
Execution quality matters more than headline contract structure.
