The perfect partner for your PPA

RWE is one of the largest renewable energy players. We are one of the global leaders in developing, constructing, operating and owning utility-scale renewable projects.

We understand our partners' needs and offer specifically designed and tailored products. We know that Corporate PPAs can be complex and by partnering with us, we can help make this simple and straightforward.

With PPAs, your company can benefit from steady and predictable costs while improving your carbon footprint and promoting your green image.

What is a PPA

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract under which a business agrees to purchase electricity directly from a renewable energy generator. Power Purchase Agreements provide financial certainty to you and the project developer, which removes a significant roadblock to building new renewable facilities.

PPAs therefore help to deliver more renewable energy, saving CO₂. Your company can make the difference and shape the renewable future.

Physical PPA

RWE delivers power directly to the customer and receives the PPA price
RWE builds a plant especially for this purpose and covers not only the new asset but the entire supply chain
RWE sells surplus power to grid and receives the spot price
The customer buys additional power from the grid/utility and pays the spot price
The customer receives guarantees of origin (where available)

Virtual (Financial) PPA

RWE delivers power to the grid and is reimbursed via its existing market access.
The customer buys power from the grid and pays the spot price
RWE and the customer settle the difference between the spot price and PPA strike price
The customer receives guarantees of origin (where available)

What our PPA clients say...

Solar Power Purchase Agreements with RWE

“We are delighted to have found in RWE a strong partner who enables us to supply a leading industrial company like VW with green electricity and thus make a contribution on the path towards climate friendly mobility.”

Dr. Alexandra von Bernstorff, Managing Partner of Luxcara

Wind Onshore Power Purchase Agreements with RWE

“The agreement with RWE represents a major step toward our carbon footprint reduction goals. Sofidel emissions reduction targets – -40% emissions per ton of paper by 2030 compared with 2018 base year – have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative as consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement,” “This is also in line with what the latest climate science says is needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. In our commitment to a low carbon economy we regard PPAs as an useful and effective tool to source renewable power for our industrial operations and, at the same time, trigger the creation of additional generation capacity, aimed at sustaining the green energy transition.”

Riccardo Balducci, Sofidel Energy & Environment Director

“The PPA deal with RWE is a significant commitment that helps us come closer to the Asahi Group ambition of becoming carbon neutral across the whole supply chain by 2050. In addition, it lays the ground for RWE to invest in a new onshore wind construction project that will support Poland's transition towards renewable energy."

Paolo Lanzarotti, CEO Asahi Breweries Europe Group

“The PPA with RWE is an important step in Grifols’ efforts to reduce our environmental footprint as part of our commitment to grow sustainably and contribute to a healthier planet.”

Daniel Fleta, Grifols Chief Industrial Officer
