Consume renewable energy and control your supply costs
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are electricity purchase contracts between a large energy consumer and a renewable energy producer, offering stable electricity supply at a fixed price over several years.
They are mainly intended for large volumes consumed by commercial and industrial companies, local authorities, and groups, who wish to engage in the energy transition, decarbonise their consumption, and stabilise their energy costs.
What are the benefits of a PPA?
How does a PPA work?
The PPA is a tailor-made contract that adapts to your needs both in terms of technology choice (wind or solar) and duration (medium or long term). Alongside the Boralex teams, you have the choice to source from an existing production site or a site to be created. Choosing an existing asset means knowing the park’s production capacity precisely. Building a custom project allows you to determine the site’s installed capacity and maximize the local energy potential according to your needs.
Also, the PPA contract can concern an energy project to be built on your land. We will then talk about an “onsite” contract. This contract allows you, in addition to valuing your available surfaces, to produce and consume electricity locally at a fixed and competitive price. When the PPA contract concerns a production site, or a project to be built, which is not installed on your land, we talk about an “offsite” contract. This contract allows you to opt for production sites with power adapted to your needs and benefit from an optimized location for green energy production.
Why choose Boralex for your PPA?
Boralex contributes to the decarbonisation of the economy by the very nature of its activities. We develop, build, and operate renewable energy production sites. In other words, we are the single point of contact for our clients throughout the entire value chain of a site, from its design to its end of life.
This presence allows us to optimize the potential of a developing site, whether wind or solar, and control operations by reducing electricity production uncertainties.
Beyond production and operations activities, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is transversal to the entire organisation, and achievements in this area provide our clients and all our stakeholders with economic, environmental, and societal benefits.
- Experience and financial strength: 30+ years of experience in developing and operating renewable energy projects. It has invested around 1.5 billion euros since its establishment in France in the early 2000s.
- Technological and geographical diversification: Boralex has a varied portfolio of wind, solar, and energy storage projects in Europe and North America.
- Pioneer of PPAs in France: Since 2020, Boralex has been a leader in France in structuring and implementing PPAs. Today, Boralex supplies over 300 GWh/year under PPA to companies. This corresponds to the annual consumption of 140,000 inhabitants in France (sources: Ademe, CRE, and RTE_consumption, average all uses combined). Our goal: 1 TWh marketed under PPA by 2030.
- In 2022, Boralex consolidated its presence in the United Kingdom by acquiring Infinergy, including a portfolio 338MW projects in development.
