Corporate Power Purchase Agreements and Energy Offtake Strategy

As grid supply becomes less certain and carbon commitments tighten, African corporates are signing long term agreements to buy clean power directly from generators. This programme demystifies corporate power purchase agreements, covering physical and virtual structures, pricing, credit and settlement. Delegates learn how to build an offtake strategy that secures supply, manages price risk and supports sustainability goals.

What you will be able to do

  • Distinguish physical, sleeved and virtual power purchase agreement structures.
  • Evaluate pricing mechanisms and how they allocate market and volume risk.
  • Assess counterparty credit, settlement and security arrangements in an offtake deal.
  • Align a power purchase strategy with load profiles and carbon reduction targets.
  • Identify the regulatory and grid access requirements affecting corporate procurement.
  • Negotiate key commercial terms with generators and intermediaries.
