Funding & Financing

Municipalities all around Europe are investing in renewable energy production to decarbonise their economy, and one approach to achieving this is through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), a contract used by a purchasing entity to procure electricity from a project developer. This promising option for local authorities not only boosts renewable energy, but also offers multiple benefits such as contributing to sustainability goals, promoting the local economy or facilitating citizen participation.

In this webinar, we’ll explore the different types of PPAs, how to develop such an agreement and the mistakes to avoid. Participants will have the chance to learn from the experience from the fellow city of Zagreb represented by Marko Kućan and listen to the recommendations of a PPA expert, Bram Claeys from the Regulatory Assistance Project.
