FAQs
Common questions
What's the typical PPA tariff for a retail estate in London in 2026?
For retail estate in London, indicative 2026 tariffs sit in the 12–16 p/kWh range. Specific tariff depends on system size, off-taker covenant, term length and the local DNO context.
What system size fits a typical retail estate in London?
100kWp–2MWp is the typical 2026 range for retail estate in London-area sites. Larger sites (e.g., those on the major industrial estates) suit the upper end.
How long is the typical PPA term?
15-25 years. For retail estate, 20 years is the typical sweet spot — long enough for the provider to amortise and short enough to retain off-taker flexibility.
Are there grant alternatives for retail estate in London?
Possibly. Greater London Authority runs decarbonisation programmes and London has growth-hub grants — but most retail estate signing PPAs in 2026 do so because the PPA gives them speed + no capex, where grants would constrain them. See PPA vs grant-funded.
