Electricity Transaction Market and PPA

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): What They Are and Why They Matter
In a European context increasingly focused on energy transition, electricity price stability, and supply security, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) play a key role in the development of renewable energy production projects, as well as in electricity procurement strategies for companies and institutions.

These contracts offer significant advantages: they ensure financial predictability for producers and price stability for consumers, while making a concrete contribution to sustainability and decarbonization goals.

The PPA market has seen significant growth across Europe — particularly in Spain — and Portugal is in a strong position to follow this momentum, creating value for various players in the energy sector.

It is in this context that the course "The Electricity Trading Market and Power Purchase Agreements" was developed, designed for professionals in the electricity sector and related areas who wish to gain solid knowledge about how PPAs and the electricity market work. No prior training or experience in the field is required.

With a multidisciplinary, practical, and accessible approach, the course:

Presents the current role of PPAs in the European energy landscape
Explores the main market trends
Addresses the benefits and risks associated with these contracts
