Powering sustainability through innovation

How Power Purchase Agreements work

Generator produces renewable energy

Renewable power (from sources like wind, solar, or hydro) is sold to ENGIE at an agreed price.

Fully licensed supplier intermediary

ENGIE acts as the middleman, facilitating the sale of power between the generator and end-user while balancing supply and demand.

Agreed pricing framework

A price agreement is established between the generator and the end-user, ensuring stable and predictable energy costs.

Green certification transfer

ENGIE enables the transfer of green certificates, such as Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs), to verify the renewable credentials of the supplied power.

End-user consumption

The end-user (business or industrial entity) receives the energy, also at an agreed price.

Sustainability credentials

With ENGIE’s expertise, end-users can confidently showcase their commitment to sustainability through certified renewable energy use.
