Provision of Power Purchase Agreement

This framework gives central government and the wider public sector access to renewable electricity through securing long-term contracts with suppliers. This commercial agreement helps you buy renewable electricity directly from specific energy projects – either ones that already exist or new ones built specifically through this scheme. Using this agreement is a practical way to meet your organisation’s carbon net zero targets and includes: group buying power: we bring customer needs together (aggregation), by purchasing energy in bulk this way, you can secure more competitive price long-term agreements: these contracts, known as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), typically last between 5 and 15 years, you’ll finalise the exact length for your contract during the sign-up process flexible contract types: the framework is primarily set up for pay-as-produced (meaning you pay for the electricity as it’s generated) If you’d like an introduction to PPAs, watch our webinar here.
