Closing the Corporate Offtaker Gap: Navigating PPAs in a Supported Market

Synopsis

With many UK solar and onshore wind projects supported by CfDs or transitioning from older schemes like ROCs, corporate buyers face a complex landscape. This session examines how developers, brokers, and intermediaries can structure PPAs that appeal to corporates without cannibalising CfD returns. It also explores strategies for projects rolling off older support mechanisms and how aligning size, technology mix, and location with corporate priorities can improve offtake and project bankability.
