The PNE Group has now signed up more than 100 wind and photovoltaic project companies to its consulting programme Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) as a service.
In 2023 alone, PNE’s PPA team supported 39 wind and PV outfits with a total output of over 337MW in concluding short and long-term PPAs, increasing the total number of renewable energy projects it supports to 107.
Through its programme, PNE acts as a PPA broker, helping plant operators to find suitable marketing solutions, negotiate and conclude contracts, while also providing support when it comes to putting specific features of the agreements into operation.
Those purchasing green electricity have included both large-scale European electricity traders and also industrial customers, who increasingly opt for green direct supply solutions in connection with their individual sustainability strategies, PNE said.
In this way, PNE is establishing itself as a partner for innovative and needs-based solutions between plant operators and industrial companies, it added.
Head of energy supply services and PPA management at PNE Nils Kompe said: “With its successful PPA deals, the PNE Group is securing its leading role as a consultant and broker for PPAs.
“Further negotiations on the conclusion of PPAs are in the pipeline, so we’re anticipating a brokered energy volume of up to 3TWh by the end of the year.”
