Unlock the full potential of your renewable energy investment:
Setting up a PPA can be tricky. As an energy procurement provider, our energy experts can help you navigate the PPA market, the benefits and risks and compare approaches to selling your power – either to the wholesale market or sleeving back to yourself.
Securing the best merchant/utility Purchase Power Agreements through flexible and compliant frameworks to get a competitive price for your exported electricity.
If you’ve opted for a flexible PPA, our flexible energy baskets provide a strategic opportunity to trade export power at different times, taking advantage of fluctuation in prices on the wholesale market. Our expert team monitors the energy market to trade electricity when prices are favourable, meaning your organisation gets the best deal.
By entering into a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), your organisation can connect the power it consumes to a renewable power generator. However, navigating the world of CPPA procurement can be complex when you’re faced with various contract structures and procurement challenges.
As a contracting authority, we simplify renewable energy procurement and help you to secure the ideal CPPA by providing:
We’ll explain the mechanics, advantages and considerations of the different CPPA contract structures. Plus, we will highlight the procurement challenges and considerations when seeking a renewable generator, conduct a market review, analyse CPPA prices, and highlight the key factors involved in approaching the market.
We will take care of the hard work for you by providing technical and procurement assistance. This includes building, running, and delivering a procurement exercise to secure a CPPA tailored around your needs.
Our team of experts can also help with the post purchase phase by facilitating the trading of the electricity to your import agreement. We will manage the delivery and distribution of the purchased energy from the renewable source, taking into account seasonal fluctuations and balancing any consumption and supply mismatch.
We sell over 80GWh of electricity per year from public sector owned generation assets, spanning 10 different assets, such as wind, solar, combined heat and power (CHP), and energy-from-waste facilities.
Our deep understanding of the market, PPA contracts and pricing dynamics sets us apart. We have the expertise to navigate complexities, assess trends, and offer customer-focused approaches, ensuring your PPA is specific to your needs.
From reviewing to replacing and reducing emissions, LASER offers a comprehensive approach. We guide you through the entire process, preparing you to enter the market, whether it’s buying or selling power, or investing in renewable assets.
