How to Evaluate the Financial and Environmental Implications of PPAs and VPPAs

Source: Enel X

Renewable energy PPAs (short for power purchase agreements) and the related virtual PPAs (VPPAs) are growing as corporate and utility buyers look to reduce emissions. This increased demand has created a competitive landscape among PPA buyers, and it’s important for potential buyers to fully understand these products and their benefits.

PPAs and VPPAs are vital to meeting sustainability targets and reducing Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Enel X has prepared this guide to:

  • Introduce readers to PPAs and VPPAs

  • Walk through a case study of a recent VPPA project selection

  • Offer best practices in soliciting proposals

  • Explain cash flows in VPPAs, and more
