We’ll evaluate benefits and challenges for public sector organisations, and compare selling methods – either to the market through fixed or flexible strategies or sleeving power back to yourself.
No matter what your renewable generation technology or output volume is, our framework will provide you with a compliant route to secure the ideal merchant PPA (also known as a utility PPA) with a licensed energy supplier to buy the power you generate.
If you’ve opted for a flexible PPA to trade your export power, our trading team can help you take advantage of price fluctuations by actively monitoring the energy markets and making informed decisions on when and how much energy to hedge into the wholesale market. So, whatever your renewable asset, we can help you get a competitive price for your exported electricity and a guaranteed level of annual income from selling your power.

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.
