Global Manufacturer – Multi-Market PPA Strategy
Challenge:
A major global manufacturer engaged Export Energy to source a combination of on-site PPAs and virtual PPAs (vPPAs) across multiple international markets. The client set a strict price threshold to ensure commercial competitiveness while meeting their net-zero commitments. Each market presented unique challenges, including regulatory complexity, local developer availability, and variability in renewable energy costs.
Our Approach:
We developed a tailored sourcing strategy, identifying on-site opportunities where the client had large facilities with suitable roof or land space, and vPPA options in markets where physical PPAs were not feasible. To overcome international challenges, we partnered with local energy experts and developers to navigate market-specific regulations and grid requirements. Our commercial team benchmarked offers rigorously to ensure strict adherence to the client’s price ceiling while maintaining ESG integrity and risk alignment.
Status:
Sourcing is actively underway across multiple regions, with strong initial interest from both local and international developers. Early feasibility assessments have been completed, and shortlisted opportunities are moving toward detailed commercial review. First project agreements are targeted for negotiation in 2025, ensuring a structured rollout aligned with the client’s global sustainability roadmap.
