CPPAs that provide energy certainty, price stability and sustainable responsibility.
Your business can fulfil multiple obligations in a single energy agreement. With a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), you can:
- Lower your greenhouse gas emissions with annually matched renewable energy
- Avoid price uncertainty with fixed costs for the duration of your contract
- Gain flexibility with an adaptable contract length
- Support the development of the renewable energy sector, helping create jobs and opportunities for local communities
- Enhance your brand reputation
- Contract for volumes from as little as 10GWh per annum
What is a Power Purchase Agreement?
A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract where a business agrees to purchase power from a renewable energy generator at a pre-agreed price. In an SSE Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), your business secures renewable electricity linked to a wind, solar, or hydro asset, helping you manage energy costs while achieving sustainability goals.
In simple terms, a CPPA lets you buy green power, lock in price stability, and demonstrate a clear commitment to net zero – all through one agreement
Types of Power Purchase Agreements
There are different ways to structure a power purchase agreement.
We offer two types of Corporate Power Purchase Agreement; SSE Named Asset and SSE Portfolio PPA.
What is an SSE Named Asset CPPA?
In a Named Asset Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), your business procures renewable energy, sourced directly from our own UK wind, solar and hydro generation.*
You purchase an agreed amount of electricity from a named renewable asset - such as a wind farm – which highlights your business going further in your commitment to net zero.
What is an SSE Portfolio PPA?
A Portfolio Power Purchase Agreement (PPPA) allows your business to buy renewable energy over a flexible term, ranging from two to 10 years, backed by an SSE wholly owned or joint venture asset.
You can also benefit from aligning with the RE100 – the global corporate renewable energy initiative, thanks to our fleet of modern wind farms.
What's the difference?
