Recent Policies Driving the PPA Market:

United States:

·        The United States remains the leader in the PPA market due to strong federal and state policies that support the deployment of renewable energy systems. The Business Energy Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and the Production Tax Credit (PTC) have played an essential role in developing solar and wind energy facilities. In addition, state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) require utilities to purchase an agreed portion of electricity from renewable resources that have boosted the development of PPA.

·        This goal and rejoining of the Paris Agreement has put more pressure towards reaching net-zero emissions by the mid-century hence the PPAs have received a major boost towards enhancing renewable energy capacity.

European Union:

·        The European Green Deal planned to make Europe climate change neutral by 2050. This has shifted the market for PPA dramatically. Thus, national RES targets as well as policies like RED II and member states’ national renewable energy targets are currently pushing the PPAs’ agenda forward.

·        Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands signed many PPAs due to policies and incentives towards the development of renewable power.

Key Trends in the PPA Market

Corporate PPAs: The PPAs in corporations are growing more common as businesses strive to achieve climate targets and price energy risks. Many large companies including Google, Amazon Microsoft, etc, are paving the way for others by heading big PPAs for sourcing power from renewable energy sources.

For example: Google’s increasing corporate participation in the PPA market is revealed through the analysis of 18 renewable energy purchase projects, which includes 6 GW of renewable energy purchasing.

Virtual PPAs:

·        A new type of virtual PPAs, often referred to as vPPAs, is increasingly being used, especially in areas where there is a higher degree of competition in the electricity markets. Compared to orthodox PPAs, vPPAs do not include the physical transmission of electricity physically. However, they offer monetary awards in the form of compensation according to the difference between the market price and the contract price.

·        vPPAs are convenient for companies to purchase renewable power without being restricted to location; thus, it is preferred by companies operating in different countries.

Paving the way forward for the PPA market

Policy Support and Market Reforms:

To retain the growth of the PPA market, there is a need for sustained policy support and market liberalization. Policy makers should ensure right policies and legislations are put in place and attempt to offer right incentives and reduce hindrances to PPAs.

Also, improvements that are being made in the electricity markets, for instance, through grid upgrades and better interconnection, help in the integration of renewable energy and the application of PPAs.

Innovative Financing Models:

It operates through the promotion of the concept of green bonds, the use of blended finance, and the development of new models, to mobilize more capital for renewable energy and the expansion of the PPA market. Government partnerships with the private sector are another factor that can enhance capital mobilization towards renewable energy and reduce financial risks.

Technological Advancements:

Improvements in the technological solutions for the generation of renewable energy and storage of this energy, as well as in the management of the grids that transmit the energy can improve the prospects of PPAs. These sectors can be refined further to increase the competitiveness of renewable energy projects compared to conventional sources. For instance, improvements in battery storage on the efficacy of addressing the integration of the intermittent renewable generator on the grid will assist in the market for PPAs.
