Corporate PPA

Boralex is a trusted partner for customers looking for a 100% renewable energy supplier.

A corporate PPA (power purchase agreement), or CPPA, is a contract that enables businesses like yours to purchase green electricity directly from a renewable energy producer.

A contract tailored to your needs

Technologies

Wind
Solar

Term

Medium or long-term

Existing asset

When you opt for an existing asset, you know exactly what the production capacity of the facility is and can ensure the competitiveness of your electricity. Because Boralex manages its assets, you also enjoy minimal risk of power fluctuations and flexibility in terms of pricing and contract term.

Planned asset

By developing a tailor-made facility with us through what is known as a “contract with additionality”, we can determine the installed capacity of your wind farm and optimize the capacity of the wind or solar resource, in line with your needs.

Location

Onsite or offsite

On Site

An onsite CPPA is a green electricity supply contract based on construction of a facility on your premises. In addition to making use of your available space, this type of contract allows you to produce and consume electricity locally at a competitive fixed price for a term of 15 years or more.

Off Site

An offsite CPPA is a contract for a renewable energy generation asset that is not installed on the customer’s premises – as opposed to an onsite CPPA. An offsite CPPA allows you to opt for assets with the right capacity for your needs and the best possible locations for production of competitive green energy.

Boralex and Orange | A corporate PPA held up as an example

Corporate Knights, a Canadian sustainable economy magazine that recognizes companies for their leadership in sustainability, recently added Boralex to its list of Canada’s “Best 50 Corporate Citizens”.

Boralex’s signature of a CPPA with Orange was cited as an example of strong, positive steps taken by some companies that had clearly reduced their greenhouse gas emissions. The CPPA with Orange is a clear-cut example of Boralex’s contribution to the energy transition.
