PPAs promote decarbonisation
Power purchase agreements play a crucial role in driving the transition to renewable energy and supporting decarbonisation. By providing developers with guaranteed revenue streams, PPAs facilitate the deployment of CO2 -free energy projects. They incentivise the construction of new capacity and enable the retirement of carbon-intensive generation assets. You can contribute to the energy transition by choosing electricity from one of our wind or solar parks.

Renewable energy PPA: driving decarbonisation
A renewable energy PPA is a powerful tool for accelerating the shift to clean energy and supporting decarbonisation. A renewable energy PPA encourages the growth of carbon-free energy projects, fostering the construction of new renewable capacity while enabling the retirement of carbon-intensive assets.
Choosing a renewable energy PPA from renewable new built projects allows you to participate directly in the energy transition by sourcing your electricity from renewable sources, adding the amount of renewable energy and hence contributing to a more sustainable and carbon-free future.

Frequently asked questions
What is a PPA?
PPA is a contractual arrangement between a power generator and purchaser, where the latter agrees to purchase electricity from the producer at a predetermined price and duration. PPAs are pivotal in electricity markets for securing stable long-term energy supply for consumers.
What are the benefits of PPA?
PPAs offer numerous benefits. They provide financial certainty for both producers and consumers, stimulate investment in CO2-free energy projects, and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact.
Why choose Fortum for a power purchase agreement?
Fortum offers a reliable and sustainable option for power purchase agreements. With a strong presence in the Nordics and a diverse portfolio of CO2-free energy assets, Fortum provides tailor-made PPAs to meet your specific needs.

Who is involved in the PPA business and why?
For large industrial customers, securing a reliable and cost-effective electricity supply is essential for their operations. Power purchase agreements serve as a cornerstone in meeting this need by providing long-term contracts for purchasing electricity directly from CO2-free energy sources.
What is a corporate PPA?
A corporate power purchase agreement is a PPA that is signed between the producer and the end consumer. The other case is that there is a power utility company between the two parties. Fortum is both the physical power provider and the power utility company. Therefore, you will always get flexible and customised solutions to meet your specific needs.
What happens after signing a PPA?
Once you've signed a power purchase agreement with us, the process moves through several key stages ensuring all terms and conditions are met.
If we are developing a new project for your power needs, we will start or continue with project development and construction, handling tasks like securing permits and building necessary infrastructure.
Throughout the agreement, we monitor and manage performance to ensure the power generation facility meets agreed-upon standards.
