Why this sub-vertical fits PPA economics

Injection moulders, extruders, packaging manufacturers — process electrification candidates where PPA combined with heat-pump retrofit gives biggest impact. In our experience, sub-verticals that share these characteristics — daytime load matching solar generation, sufficient roof or land area, and a 15+ year occupancy horizon — see the strongest PPA economics within the broader factories & manufacturing sector.
