Panel: Global PPA market – Is it fit for purpose?

The Corporate PPA market experienced a recalibration in 2025. Europe signed only 280MW of renewable energy PPAs in May, representing the lowest capacity of PPAs signed in Europe since 2020, according to Pexapark’s monthly ‘PPA Times’ report.

This is also an almost 80% drop from the previous month in terms of capacity, and a 45% drop in number of deals signed. However, the global PPA market continues to demonstrate resilience via new participant entry. In the first of half 2025, 53 corporates had entered the market as first-time offtakers.

  • What energy procurement should look like in the future
  • How do we move forward with financial deals.
  • Upside PPAs, how do they procure energy.
  • Access to capital and renewable energy
