Sustainable energy – predictable, reliable and based on partnership.
With Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) from ENGIE, you can secure green electricity at stable conditions for the long term. Whether you are an industrial company or a municipal utility, we develop flexible solutions that suit your needs and advance your climate goals.

When is a PPA the right choice for you?

  • If you are looking for price stability: you want to make your energy costs calculable in the long term and protect yourself against volatile market prices.

  • If you want to achieve your climate targets: you want to reduce your carbon footprint and actively contribute to the energy transition.

  • If you want to maintain existing facilities: you want to support the continued operation of wind and solar power plants after the end of the EEG subsidy.

Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for industrial customers

With a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – a long-term purchase agreement for green electricity – you can secure stable and predictable electricity prices from renewable energies today. In times of volatile energy markets, PPAs provide companies with long-term planning security and serve as an effective hedging tool for energy procurement. At the same time, they meet increasing requirements for sustainability and transparency, for example in the context of ESG and CSRD reporting.

We tailor the PPA to your electricity procurement needs. The various options available include:

  • Short, medium and long-term durations
  • Variable delivery volumes
  • Various supply models and price structures
  • Hybrid supply structures with wind and PV
  • 24/7 PPA
     

 

24/7 PPA – Green electricity for your company around the clock

Traditional PPAs usually balance electricity consumption on an annual basis with renewable generation. A 24/7 PPA goes one crucial step further: it ensures that your electricity needs are met with sustainably generated green electricity every hour of the year – not just on average over the year

To achieve this, we combine onshore wind and photovoltaic systems at various locations. Storage technologies or other renewable energy sources such as biomass or biomethane can also be integrated.

This creates the basis for a truly climate-neutral energy supply – transparent, verifiable and future-proof.

 

Existing plants

We pay special attention to post-EEG plants. These are plants that are no longer subsidised under the EEG. Despite the expiry of subsidies, plant operators usually still have to pay lease payments, finance continued operation reports and conclude follow-up contracts for maintenance and operational management. Due to the high volatility of the electricity markets, old plants often cannot continue to operate without a PPA. With a PPA, you can ensure that wind turbines for electricity generation in Germany are retained. You benefit from flexible supply models that are always based on the current market price.

 

PPAs for new plants

A PPA for new plants is usually concluded before the plant is built and serves to finance the project. The terms for PPAs for new plants are usually ten to 15 years and secure the electricity price for the new plant in the long term. PPAs for new plants are particularly useful in Germany for larger solar projects (> 20 MW) and offshore wind farms.

As your experts at ENGIE, we bring access to a large portfolio of wind and solar plants, extensive global experience and a customer base from a wide range of industries to your PPA project. Added to this is our expertise in risk management, which enables us to design tailor-made products for you – with competitive prices and straightforward contract terms.

Frequently asked questions about PPAs and 24/7 green electricity supply

1. What is a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)?
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term electricity supply contract whereby companies purchase green electricity directly from renewable energy sources such as wind or solar parks – at predictable and stable prices.

2. What are the advantages of a PPA for industrial customers?
PPAs ensure long-term price stability, reduce CO₂ emissions, support ESG goals and contribute to the continued operation or new construction of renewable energy plants.

3. What does 24/7 PPA mean?
A 24/7 PPA ensures that a company's electricity consumption is covered by carbon-free energy every hour of the year – not just on an annual average.

4. How does round-the-clock green electricity supply work?
This is achieved by combining electricity from onshore wind and solar plants at various locations, supplemented by storage solutions and the growing share of green electricity from the grid.

5. What role do post-EEG plants play in PPAs?
Post-EEG plants are wind or solar plants whose subsidies have expired. With a PPA, these can continue to operate, thus preserving valuable renewable capacity in the grid.

6. Can PPAs also be concluded for new plants?
Yes. PPAs for new plants are often concluded before construction begins and secure financing. Terms of 10 to 15 years are typical, especially for large solar parks or offshore wind projects.

7. What are the terms of PPAs?
PPAs can be tailored to individual needs – from short-term to long-term contracts, depending on the company's requirements and risk strategy.

8. Which industries benefit particularly from 24/7 PPAs?
Basically all industrial customers with high energy requirements. 24/7 PPAs are particularly attractive for companies with continuous electricity consumption that value transparency and sustainability, such as data centres.

9. How does ENGIE support companies in introducing PPAs?
ENGIE brings global experience, access to a large portfolio of wind and solar plants, and expertise in risk management to the table – and develops tailor-made PPA solutions including a 24/7 option.
