Power Your Business with Clean Energy through Power Purchase Agreements from World Kinect.

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract (typically 10-15 years) through which a corporate buyer agrees to purchase electricity and Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) physically or virtually from a renewable energy generator. EACs—also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in North America and Guarantees of Origin (GOs) in Europe—have many different names around the world.

A popular solution for helping businesses migrate toward a net zero future, this powerful tool also helps meet long-term carbon reduction and renewable energy goals and satisfy various stakeholders. There are generally 2 types of PPAs: Direct or Physical Power Purchase Agreements (DPPA) and Financial or Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPA).

Our team of experts will guide you through every step of the Power Purchase Agreement process. After an in-depth PPA or VPPA assessment, our PPA and VPPA advisors will tailor a plan that addresses your energy needs and program goals, simplifying renewable energy procurement.

When committing to a long-term contract of any kind, you want experts on your side. The strength of our PPA advisory service comes from our energy experts, who share over 100 combined years of expertise in consulting and renewable energy. Our PPA and VPPA advisors have years of experience arranging PPAs for clients of all sizes and industries. 

Customers consider World Kinect an extension of their team – always on their side to help optimize every facet of their energy needs. They delve into the details of energy markets and solutions while helping you understand commercial terms and support contracting with some of the best, most reliable project owners around the globe.

The first step is a PPA assessment, where our advisors capture your energy needs and sustainability goals along with your overall organizational goals and priorities. After careful research, we will provide:

• A no-obligation, detailed analysis of the market
• Support for internal key stakeholder alignment
• A financial assessment of potentially fitting offers
• A strategy for moving the project forward with timelines and milestones

If PPA's or VPPA's don't meet your organization's needs, our renewable energy experts can recommend several other options that support your sustainability goals and your energy management program.

Our team can also help guide you through your other options for mitigating Scope 2 emissions.  If you have the physical space and other requirements, onsite solar could be a great option. Unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) around the world can help your decarbonization and sustainability goals as a bridge solution until more long-term solutions are feasible or in place. 

If you are not sure where to start, our energy experts can conduct a Renewable Energy Strategy Assessment to help determine which solution would work best for your business.
