Summary

Power Purchase Agreements, or PPAs, contractually guarantee revenues to power-generation projects for a fixed number of years and have underwriten the boom in renewable electricity development. The US tech sector dominated PPA activity in 2025 as it seeks to increase installed generation capacity in North America and maintains prior commitments to net-zero pledges. S&P Global Energy Experts Bruno Brunetti and Francis Browne join hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss recent trends in clean energy procurement and why market participants should expect evolution as the initial wave of PPA contracts rolls off and corporate buyers consider future commitments.
