Corporate renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) can provide the security of returns which a developer of renewable power plants needs to secure lending to build the project. But they are not simple. PPAs have many risks associated with them, risks that have traditionally been handled by utilities, developers and energy traders. Now these risks need to be engaged and owned by corporates who generally do not have expertise in the area. This is one of the main barriers to the development of PPAs throughout Europe.
