Master ThesisCorporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreements (Ppas) • August 23rd, 2021
Corporate renewable Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are agreements on the sale and purchase of power between a corporate offtaker and a power producer. These agreements may by effect restrict competition, as they move the sale of electricity from the open wholesale markets to closed and confidential negotiations where consumers may not necessarily have access to. This can result in the drying out of the electricity wholesale markets, leading to distorted prices and market signals, and the foreclosure of competition and facilitation of further collusion, and thus be prohibited under art. 101(1) TFEU.
