Power and Gas Purchase Agreements (PPAs and GPAs) are long-term contracts between energy producers and buyers, ensuring the purchase of electricity or gas at predetermined prices. These agreements play a crucial role in promoting renewable energy and providing price stability in the energy market.
AFS Energy acts as a trusted intermediary in the renewable energy market, facilitating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Gas Purchase Agreements (GPAs). These long-term contracts enable the trade of electricity or gas between energy producers and buyers at pre-agreed prices, providing stability and predictability in the energy market.
PPA's & GPA's Provide
By entering into a PPA, your organization can significantly reduce its Scope 2 emissions and secure guaranteed renewable energy through a long-term agreement. We will work with our extensive network of suppliers to negotiate a contract tailored to your needs, ensuring the required energy volumes are sourced from the appropriate region and technology.
PPAs & GPAs enable corporations to hedge against energy price fluctuations while turning their carbon reduction commitments into concrete investments in renewable energy. By securing long-term access to green energy, companies can mitigate financial risks and directly contribute to sustainability efforts.
Our experienced team also manages the intricate administrative processes, allowing you to focus on your sustainability goals while we handle all the paperwork and regulatory compliance
PPA
PPAs are highly valued for their direct collaboration with renewable energy producers, providing companies with a long-term commitment to purchase electricity from specific facilities.
By entering into a PPA, businesses actively support renewable energy projects while securing a fixed price for the energy generated. These agreements became popular among large energy consumers, such as tech companies with growing data center operations, as a way to reduce their Scope 2 emissions.
PPAs offer price stability and sustainability benefits, they often come with long contractual commitments, sometimes lasting up to 25 years. Additionally, they may present challenges such as geographical limitations, depending on the proximity of the energy source, and potential risks related to market fluctuations.
GPA
Similar to Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), GPAs are used to lock in gas prices and volumes, providing both financial stability and supply security for businesses that rely heavily on gas, particularly in industries such as manufacturing or agriculture.
One of the primary benefits of GPAs is their ability to offer price stability, shielding companies from the volatility of the natural gas market, which is often affected by geopolitical events and fluctuating demand. Additionally, they can help businesses meet sustainability goals by incorporating renewable gas sources, such as biomethane, which is produced from organic waste materials. This allows companies to reduce their Scope 1 emissions those directly tied to their gas usage by replacing conventional natural gas with more sustainable alternatives.
However, GPAs also come with challenges, including exposure to market and regulatory risks. The natural gas market is subject to price swings, and evolving environmental regulations can impact the terms and viability of these agreements.

Benefits and Uses of PPA's & GPA's
Power Purchase Agreements (PPA's) & Gas Purchase Agreements (GPA's) have been instrumental in driving the growth and expansion of renewable energy projects by providing a reliable revenue stream for producers, making their ventures more financially sustainable. For large corporations, PPAs offer long-term price stability while also supporting their sustainability objectives by sourcing energy from renewable resources.
These agreements are central to the energy sector's shift toward cleaner, more sustainable electricity generation. By facilitating investment and development in renewable projects, PPAs help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system, benefiting both the environment and the economy.
In this way, PPAs not only support corporate sustainability efforts but also play a critical role in the broader global effort to decarbonize the energy industry, making them a key driver of
the renewable energy transition
Price Stability: PPAs and GPAs provide long-term price stability by locking in energy prices, protecting both buyers and sellers from market volatility. This stability is crucial for budgeting and financial planning.
Support for Renewable Energy: By committing to purchase energy from renewable sources, PPAs and GPAs drive the development of new renewable energy projects, helping to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix and reduce carbon emissions.
Risk Mitigation: These agreements mitigate the financial risks associated with fluctuating energy prices and regulatory changes. They provide a secure revenue stream for energy producers and predictable costs for buyers.
