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.
