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.
