Clarity is needed in the evolving Australian Corporate PPA market to help organisations set the scale of their ambition, to encourage organisations to aim for high quality Corporate PPAs that achieve deep impact and to reward those going above and beyond by ensuring that their PPA creates additional renewables and a positive societal and environmental impact.

One of the roles of the Business Renewables Centre - Australia is to provide independent guidance for Corporate PPA buyers. We think it’s time to take stock and open up a discussion about how to define best practice in renewable energy procurement.

We have written a discussion paper that seeks to draw input from industry to work towards an agreed understanding of what elements of a Corporate PPA meet these objectives and to help develop a Best Practice Standard for Corporate PPAs.

Please read the discussion paper available here and then comment on the questions below. There are 10 questions.
