Our dedicated insight on Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), green certificates, and the GB renewables pipeline, supplemented with access to experts via the Green Generators Group forum, allows you to track the latest developments across low carbon generation markets.

Overview

Cornwall Insight’s Low Carbon Generation insight package provides comprehensive market coverage for energy generators in GB.

The service closely monitors and forecasts prices and trends of subsidy certificates for green energy generators, which helps to build a view of expected future Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) prices. The PPA market is covered in-depth, with analysis on the market share and PPA types for renewable and flexible assets. This is supplemented with a database of the current GB renewables development pipeline, and a monthly forum in which Cornwall Insight’s team deliver updates on recent regulatory, policy, and commercial developments impacting energy generators in GB.
