Get an indicative PPA tariffThe sectors that do best out of a PPA are the ones with a flat weekday load, because behind-the-meter generation is only worth what the site consumes as it is produced.
Public-sector and agricultural buyers should weigh grant-funded alternatives first, since capital support they already qualify for can be worth more than a zero-capex contract.
Estates with many buildings rarely contract site by site — a multi-site corporate PPA aggregates the demand into one negotiation.
Whatever your sector, the tariff you are offered depends as much on being matched to the right provider as on the site itself.
