Knight Frank has launched a corporate power purchase agreement advisory service to help clients access clean and reliable electricity from renewable energy producers.
The firm said the service arrives as UK businesses, investors and public bodies accelerate efforts to decarbonise operations and secure long-term price stability through 10–20-year CPPAs.
Knight Frank added that the offer builds on more than 15 years of advising clients on sustainable energy procurement and will cover the full contract cycle from identifying demand to sourcing projects and managing agreements.
The launch follows the company’s recent three-year renewable energy supply contract with TotalEnergies valued at more than £180m.
Global head of energy and sustainability David Goatman said: “Knight Frank is deeply embedded in both the UK real estate and energy markets and we look forward to leveraging these deep relationships to enable our clients to access both sustainable power and price stability through market-leading CPPAs.”
“With steady growth in renewables capacity, organisations are facing rising pressure to decarbonise operations and deliver credible ESG commitments, alongside cost reduction,” he added.
Head of energy and sustainability research Flora Harley said: “Operational efficiency and cost control remain top priorities for corporate real estate occupiers according to our latest (Y)OUR SPACE research, and energy use is central to both.”
“Despite recent easing, electricity and gas prices remain nearly double pre-2021 levels, according to DESNZ statistics,” she stated.
She added: “CPPAs deliver verifiable low-carbon energy and cost stability, which explains the growing interest. Knight Frank tracked 18 CPPAs signed in 2024, the highest on record and a sharp rise from just three in 2019, with 2025 activity on track to match.”
“These agreements not only support occupiers’ decarbonisation goals but also enable renewable deployment at scale, critical for the UK’s net zero trajectory and clean power targets,” she said.
