CORPORATE RENEWABLE PPAs: EU’s EXPERIENCE AND UKRAINE’s PERSPECTIVES

The corporate renewable PPA means a long-term bilateral agreement for purchase of electricity concluded between a RES producer and a business entity as a corporate buyer (off-taker). According to BloombergNEF in 2020 the global corporate PPA volume reached 23.7 GW which is much higher compared to the previous years: 20.1 GW in 2019 and 13.6 GW in 2018.

In Ukraine the application of the corporate renewable PPA has not been possible so far, due to the existed feed-in tariff support scheme and regulatory restrictions on the electricity market. Due to the expiry of the feed-in tariffs for new plants commissioned after 2022 as well as with regards to the Ukraine’s commitments to cut its carbon emissions, corporate PPAs offer new prospects for developing and implementing the RES projects in Ukraine. Thanks to PPAs, investors and “green” power producers have the opportunity to cushion the power price risks and to stabilize long-term investment and therefore make small and large projects bankable.

For this reason, on 13 September 2021 the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA) jointly with Sayenko Kharenko host the international webinar devoted to corporate renewable PPAs. During the webinar, high level experts will present the experience of Poland, Germany and other EU countries and consider the amendments to Ukrainian legislation necessary for application of such a new RES support scheme.

Main issues to be discussed:

  • What is a corporate PPA and main rules for their applications for the RES projects?
  • The experience of application of the corporate renewable PPA in Poland, Germany and in EU.
  • What are the main restrictions for applications of the corporate renewable PPA in Ukraine?
  • What amendments to the laws of Ukraine are required for application of the corporate renewable PPAs?
  • Financing corporate renewable PPAs: view of the EBRD?
  • What are the peculiarities for determination of the electricity prices under the corporate PPAs for RES?
