Episode description

Traditionally required by high-demand consumers such as data centres or metal industries, power purchase agreements, or PPAs are used to secure an energy price over an agreed timeframe.

But times are changing, and different types of businesses need PPAs. What does the market look like for these agreements in the future?

• What is a power purchase agreement and how do they work?
• Pexapark’s vision and the problems they are trying to solve.
