WindEurope report: Corporate PPAs soared to new heights in 2020
WindEurope’s latest report on 2020 financing and investment trends confirmed last year’s record-breaking year for corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) announcements across Europe.
This open-source toolkit has been developed to provide information, raise awareness and ultimately help you to enter the market for corporate sourcing of renewable electricity. The tools are designed to help unlock the huge potential for corporate sourcing of renewables and make a real impact for the transition to a low carbon society.
The European Corporate Sourcing Directory sets out which models of corporate sourcing have been used and which models we believe are possible to use in each country, where the information is known. It also displays the sector and technology PPA data where possible. Follow the tabs to explore the country-specific data, and click on the data to enlarge the image.
The directory will be updated over time as we become aware of new sourcing contracts and where administrative barriers are removed. If you have any information or disagree with any of the data, please contact us by email.

WindEurope’s latest report on 2020 financing and investment trends confirmed last year’s record-breaking year for corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) announcements across Europe.
We spoke with Harald Överholm from Alight about projects they’re working on and his views on the European corporate PPA market.
Daimler have signed a renewable Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) with Statkraft that will enable them to power their Mercedes factories with 100% renewable electricity.
While 2020 was positive for renewable energy sourcing in general, solar power had a particularly good year, capturing approximately 1.7 GW of PPA capacity.
A recently conducted survey of large energy consumers across all sectors in the four Visegrad countries (V4) reveals that they have a strong interest in renewable electricity – both self-producing and purchasing.
Global building materials company, Kingspan, has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with solar energy company Alight. Alight will invest in, deliver and manage a rooftop photovoltaic plant at Kingspan’s state of the art factory in Stigamo, Sweden.

The EFET CPPA represents the first cross-country standard CPPA for Europe helping bring down transaction costs and facilitating the negotiation process between the parties involved. Before its endorsement by the EFET Legal Committee, the standard CPPA had been widely circulated across the industry and a number of lenders have confirmed its bankability.
The standard EFET CPPA allows for both physical and financial PPAs with the proven Election Sheet approach allowing for flexible tailoring of the PPA to the needs of the companies involved. The agreement is translated from English into other EU languages to ease its uptake across Europe, and will be supported by legal opinions in key jurisdictions.
The European PPA market is characterised with an estimated total utility and corporate long-term risk appetite of approximately 8-10 GW of new renewable capacity annually. PPAs are relatively complex, with numerous structures available and difficult to value. Our PPA experts will explain how to compare PPAs systematically and quantitatively.
Furthermore, to promote the rise in renewable energy investment and simplify transactions, a standardisation of PPA has been developed. The European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET) in close collaboration with Re-Source has published a standard PPA, the EFET standard Corporate Purchase Agreement (CPPA). Our PPA specialists will show how the standard can be applied for typical PPA use cases.
The following online platforms are available from third party suppliers for project matchmaking and facilitating PPA deals:
Edison Energy Insights – Altenex Energy
NeuerEnergy’s PPA Platform
Instatrust – DNV GL
LevelTen Energy
NEO Network – Schneider Electric
Origin – Energy Web Foundation

The renewable energy landscape of Europe is made up of a wide range of legislative and regulatory situations in each European country. The RE-Source Hubs are built to focus on the energy situation in different countries, bringing together relevant companies to tackle these national issues as well as bring together potential buyers and sellers of renewable energy in that country.
We currently work with national associations in Poland and Scandinavia, with more partnerships being arranged.
