In this episode of the Energy Essentials Podcast, Ben Burggraaf, CEO of Net Zero Industry Wales, joins Cornwall Insight’s Lucy Dolton, Renewables Generation Lead, and Jacob Briggs, Energy Users Lead, to discuss the growing role of corporate power purchase agreements (CPPAs) in the Welsh industrial and commercial sector, and why the industry can’t get this right without bringing Welsh communities along.
They cover:
- What industry wants from government and the new Prime Minister
- Why Welsh industry has been cautious on long-term PPAs, and how they can help counter the narrative that renewables don’t benefit local communities and jobs
- How PPA “baskets” could help businesses without the financial backing access agreements
- Why a PPA is “pretty much a prerequisite” for new wind and solar projects to get financing
