High energy corporate consumers:
With the rise of data centres, accelerating electrification, and increasing corporate sustainability commitments, demand for PPAs continues to grow.
However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Entering a PPA brings benefits but also introduces market, price, shape, accounting and legal risks that must be carefully managed. Co-located Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can further enhance value by shifting generation to better match demand, capturing price arbitrage opportunities, and potentially increasing overall project revenues.
