Corporate Power Purchase Agreements:
Energy certainty combined with price stability and sustainable responsibility
Your business can fulfil multiple obligations in a single energy agreement. With a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), you can:
- Reduce amount of greenhouse gas reporting by receiving energy on an annual basis
- Avoid price uncertainty with fixed costs for the duration of your contract
- Gain flexibility with an adaptable contract length
- Support the development of the renewable energy sector, helping create jobs and opportunities for local communities
- Enhance your brand reputation
- Contract for volumes from as little as 10GWh per annum
What is an SSE Named Asset CPPA?
We offer two variations of a CPPA; SSE Named Asset and SSE Portfolio PPA.
In a Named Asset Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), your business receives renewable energy, sourced directly from our own UK wind, solar and hydro generation* .
You purchase an agreed amount of electricity from a named renewable asset - such as a wind farm – which highlights your business going further in your commitment to net zero.
What is an SSE Portfolio PPA?
A Portfolio Power Purchase Agreement (PPPA) allows your business to receive renewable energy over a flexible term - backed by an SSE wholly owned or SSE joint venture asset.
You can also benefit from aligning with the RE100 – the global corporate renewable energy initiative, thanks to our fleet of modern wind farms.

- All our renewable electricity is sourced from renewable generation assets wholly or partly owned by SSE Renewables, our sister company in the SSE Group. With an SSE CPPA, you’ll continue to get your electricity through the national grid as normal, and we’ll match your consumption to the agreed output from a specific SSE renewable generation asset.
