PPAs

Structured for success

Contracting your output is complex. We guide you through fixed or flexible PPA structures, which can include License Exempt Supply, making sure your contract stays aligned with your financial commitments and appetite for risk.

License Exempt Supply

Adding additional revenue

License Exempt Supply (LES) lets generators supply electricity directly to non-domestic customers without holding a supply licence. Ofgem’s April 2025 approval of BSC Modification P442 boosted the commercial appeal of LES for generators, suppliers and consumers.

Risk Management

Protecting your revenue

Beyond price volatility, our energy consulting team assesses your settlement exposure and mark-to-market risk. We verify the financial health of your energy buyers, ensuring they can pay what they owe, and help you select high-credit offtakers to shield your revenue from the risk of supplier default.

Contractual Support

Negotiating the right terms

Too often, offtaker agreements are weighted in the buyer’s favour. We use our insider knowledge to challenge and negotiate clauses around volume tolerances, change in law and credit stipulations, so you don’t pay the price.

Certificates: ROCs, REGOs, RGGOs

Boosting your green revenue

Your renewable certificates are more valuable than ever. With suppliers desperate for ‘green power’, they’re willing to pay a premium to secure your certificates years in advance. We help you find the best buyers and lock in these high prices now.

Market Monitoring (FiT scheme)

Monitoring the market

Is your current Feed-in Tariff (FiT) rate holding you back? If the wholesale market is trading above your government-backed rate, we show you exactly how much extra revenue you could achieve by moving to a commercial PPA.

Key energy generation revenue sources

Ensuring your energy generation strategy delivers maximum returns requires the right mix of product and contract structure. Our approach guides you through the options to ensure maximum returns:

  • Fixed price PPA

    A set price for your electricity is locked in for the duration of your contract. This offers the most straightforward approach, allowing you to hedge against price drops and deliver greater budget certainty.

  • Flexible PPA

    This allows you to make your own decisions on when and how much of your output to sell, based on market conditions. By selling your power at multiple price points, you can capitalise on wholesale market peaks, and potentially achieve greater returns than with a fixed contract.

  • License Exempt Supply benefits

    Often referred to as Small Supplier Exemptions or P442, this mechanism allows generators exporting up to 5 MW to earn up to £20/MWh more for their output when working with selected suppliers.


    The additional value is paid on the half‑hourly volume matched directly to a consumer, enabling the supplier to reduce its costs for the Renewables Obligation, Feed‑in Tariff, Capacity Market, and Contract for Difference schemes.


    Because each supplier structures its offer differently, it’s essential to understand which option delivers the best overall benefit for your generation profile.


  • Embedded benefits

    Because your generation is connected to the local distribution network, it reduces industry costs for your offtaker. These benefits, such as avoiding transmission losses, offer a hidden value stream, which we ensure is calculated correctly and shared fairly with you.

  • Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) and Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs)

    REGOs and RGGOs prove your energy is renewable. They’re in high demand from suppliers, who need to prove their green credentials. We help you seize this opportunity by selling your certificates in advance, allowing you to lock in higher prices and guarantee future profits.

  • Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs)

    For eligible assets, ROCs are one of your most valuable revenue streams. Because offtakers compete fiercely for ROCs, we manage the balance between delivery timescales and market timing, to ensure you achieve the highest possible market price.

  • Feed-in Tariff (FiT)

    This older government subsidy pays a set rate for generation and export. We monitor the wholesale market daily to identify if you could earn more by switching from your current FiT export rate to a commercial PPA - unlocking higher revenue without losing your underlying subsidy.

  • Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

    SEG is the successor to FiT for assets under 5 MW, where rates are set by energy suppliers. We approach all appropriate suppliers  to compare their commercial terms, ensuring you receive the maximum market price for your exported power.

  • Contracts for Difference (CfD)

    The CfD scheme offers a long-term, 15-year contract where you receive a guaranteed ‘strike price’ for your output. We provide the expert guidance needed to manage the relationship between market prices and your contract.

Renewable Generation FAQs

  • What is renewable energy?

    Renewable energy is generated from renewable sources that will not be depleted during our lifetimes i.e. they naturally renew or replenish themselves.


    There are several ways to generate energy from these renewable sources, which include:


    1. Solar (from the sun)
    2. Wind (from wind)
    3. Geothermal (heat generated deep below the earths surface)
    4. Biomass (burning of plants or micro-organisms)
    5. Hydro (from harnessing the power of flowing water)

    Exciting new forms of renewable energy are also being explored.  Three of the most promising are Tidal energy, Wave energy and Algal (or algae) fuel. Algal uses the unique chemicals in seaweed to create a clean and renewable biofuel.

  • What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?

    A PPA is a contractual agreement between an energy buyer (often referred to as an “offtaker) and the seller (the generating party). The two parties will agree to buy and sell an amount of energy, at an agreed price, that will be generated by a renewable asset.


    A PPA is often of a long-term nature and secures price certainty for the generator for many years to come (not uncommon for these to be 10 – 20 years). This helps the generator secure/maintain funding for their asset and mitigates their price risk exposure.

  • What is a Corporate PPA?

    A Corporate PPA enables you to source sustainable electricity directly from a renewable generator at an agreed price, while giving generators a reliable, guaranteed buyer for their electricity at a stable price.


    In additional to sourcing your energy directly from a chosen generator, both parties can benefit from agreeing long-term commodity price commitments that protect them from market price volatility. It therefore allows you to agree commodity prices far beyond wholesale market liquidity.

  • Can I switch to a PPA from the FiT scheme?

    Yes, you can, and it may prove much more financially beneficial to do so.


    When wholesale electricity prices rise above the price you would otherwise receive from the FiT scheme (£55.70/MWh, indexed to RPI) then you should switch to a PPA and secure higher, longer term prices for your electricity generation.

  • What are ROC cashflow benefits?

    The price you receive for your ROCs will vary dependent upon when you deliver them to the offtaker (typically an energy supplier in this instance). ROCs are required by energy suppliers in August of each calendar year for them to be redeemed against their Renewable Obligation commitments.


    From a supplier's perspective, ROCs only have a tangible value in the August of each year. Delivering ROCs to your supplier each month, to gain valuable cashflow payments for your generation business, therefore reduces the suppliers working capital. This cost of cash is consequently priced into the ROC value you receive, which reduces the price you obtain for your ROCs.


    If possible, delivery of ROCs to your supplier on an annual basis will ensure you achieve a higher price as the cost of cash is not priced into your ROC price. Obviously, this approach may not be possible if you are reliant on monthly ROC payments from your own working capital perspective.

  • What is the current price for electricity?

    The price of electricity is very volatile and is sensitive to supply/demand, macro-economic events, weather, global events and the cost of other fuels (largely oil and gas).


    Whilst it isn't possible to predict the long-term trajectory of electricity prices, there are many energy price reports available to assist with budgeting and hedging strategies.
