This report has been co-authored alongside DNV GL and released by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
This paper builds on previous WBCSD reports on corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs): Corporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreements: Scaling up globally (October 2016) and Innovation in Power Purchase Agreement Structures (March 2018). These reports cover the opportunities corporate PPAs offer, the obstacles that corporate buyers and developers face as they plan and negotiate PPAs, as well as innovations in corporate PPAs as the market grows and evolves. This paper adds an additional focus to the previous publications and discusses a particular type of PPA – a multi-technology PPA – and the manner in which developers and corporate buyers may increasingly be using it. We hope this will support continuing innovation in the way companies purchase renewable power for their operations.
