The role of Power Purchase Agreements for the promotion of green energy and the transition to a zero carbon economy
Open accessAbstract
There are many debates regarding Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), but there are only few studies that are analyzing the real role of PPA in promoting green energy and for the achievement of new climate targets. Although the demand for these types of contracts is increasing, the energy market at this moment is not very well developed and from this point of view there are just a few energy actors which actually succeed in closing such an agreement. The goal of this research is to identify and analyze the main factors which contribute to the development of PPA as a tool for promoting green energy and enable the transition to a zero carbon economy. For this research there are used questionnaires and interviews with experts from all of the parties involved in such a contract: producers, consumers, financial experts and energy experts. The article reduces the gap between the declaration of different stakeholders related to PPA and their involvement in the implementation and development of these contracts and estimates the main contributions of these contracts to the promotion of green energy and the transition to a zero net carbon economy. The results suggest that PPA play a major role in the renewable energy market and they will have a positive impact in what it means the consumption and transition to green energy and the achievement of climate neutrality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
