Power Purchase Agreement
A direct contractual agreement between energy producer and consumer with a third party involvement. The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) defines the conditions of the agreement, such as the amount of electricity to be supplied, negotiated prices and a duration.
By committing to a pre-negotiated price for a longer duration the energy consumer allows the project developers to get better financial terms for the development of new assets.
This synergy can be beneficial to both parties. More and more corporations are turning to PPAs to source renewable energy in an economically competitive way. Entering a PPA shows a substantial commitment to the environment by being directly instrumental in the construction of new renewable assets.
Having power and GOs from the same source gives high transparency and traceability. In addition, it is a hedge against market price fluctuations, including from new carbon taxes, and a cost-competitive way to source energy tailored to your needs.

Energy Efficiency Certificates
Energy Efficiency Certificates Also called white certificates, they certify energy savings from improvement interventions to reduce energy consumption. The energy savings are measured under recognized standards and certificates tracked under transparent reporting mechanisms (e.g., CEE).
Carbon Offsetting
Even when reducing energy use and switching to renewable energy, some greenhouse gas emissions are hard to eliminate. Emissions that cannot be avoided, can be neutralized by engaging in emission reduction somewhere else.
Biomethane Certificates
Biomethane derived from biogas, is a renewable, low carbon-footprint energy source generated from the breakdown of organic matter such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, and plant material.
