Overview
Across emerging markets, particularly in Africa, energy access,
reliability, and financing remain major constraints to economic
growth. Public utilities often lack the capital required to expand
infrastructure, while private investors face risks related to revenue
certainty and regulatory frameworks.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as critical
instruments to bridge this gap by enabling collaboration between
governments and private sector energy developers. PPAs between
electricity producers and buyers (offtaker), define pricing, supply
terms, and duration.
PPAs are central to PPP energy projects because
they guarantee revenue streams, making projects bankable and
attractive to investors. PPPs provide the institutional and financial
structure for shared risk, financing, and infrastructure development.
This webinar aims to: Demystify PPAs and PPPs in the context of energy
projects Explore how these instruments enable bankable renewable
energy investments Provide insights into structuring, negotiating, and
financing energy projects Highlight case studies from Africa and
global markets Equip participants with practical knowledge for project
development, policy, and investment
