Growing interest in PPAs for hydrogen projects – Pexapark
Loosening of power supply criteria and suitability of pay-as-produced contracts to needs of electrolysers are driving activity in PPA market, firm tells Hydrogen Economist
A growing number of green hydrogen and power-to-X project developers are expected to explore power-purchase agreements (PPAs) in the wake of the EU’s softened position on sources of renewable electricity for electrolysers, according to software and PPA advisory firm Pexapark. MEPs recently passed an amendment for a delegated act that will loosen the criteria for ‘green’ hydrogen. While a previous delegated act required hydrogen to be produced either using a dedicated renewable energy asset or with one-hour matching with renewables in the same or adjacent geographical bidding zone on the grid, green hydrogen can now be produced from grid-sourced electricity as long as the producer has signed
