What is a Corporate PPA?
A Corporate PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) — known in France as CADER (Contrat d'Achat Direct d'Électricité Renouvelable) — is a long-term bilateral contract (10-25 years) between a renewable energy producer and a corporate buyer. It locks in your electricity price, fully decorrelated from wholesale-market volatility, and underwrites your decarbonization roadmap with traceable green power.
Price Stability & Predictability
Lock in a fixed electricity price for 10-25 years, eliminating exposure to volatile wholesale energy markets and enabling reliable budget planning.
Decarbonization & CSR
Meet corporate sustainability goals with 100% renewable electricity sourcing, backed by Guarantees of Origin certificates for transparent ESG reporting.
Long-term Cost Competitiveness
Benefit from renewable energy cost reductions over time. Solar and wind PPAs are increasingly cheaper than market rates over the contract duration.
Energy Independence
Reduce dependence on fossil fuels and regulated tariffs. Corporate PPAs provide direct access to renewable energy production assets.
Secure Your Energy Future
Lock in clean, predictable, locally-sourced electricity for the next 10 to 25 years. Reclaim certainty in a volatile market — and give your business a competitive edge that fossil markets simply cannot match.
Talk to a PPA expert3 Actors. 1 Contract. Total Clarity.
A Power Purchase Agreement orchestrates a clean, simple partnership between three players — each with a clear, well-defined role.
The Producer
VoltWatt
We design, build and operate the renewable power plant — and commit to delivering green electricity at a transparent, fixed price for decades.
The Buyer
Your Company
You secure long-term access to renewable electricity at a price you control, while affirming a measurable, credible ESG commitment.
Your Supplier
Stays in Place
Your existing electricity supplier remains in place. The PPA volume is automatically deducted from your invoice — no contract switch, no disruption.
A PPA: a strategic lever for your enterprise
Lock long-term energy costs
Strengthen your decarbonization roadmap
Affirm a measurable ESG commitment
Transparent Integration. Zero Complexity.
From the moment you sign, everything happens behind the scenes. You keep your supplier, your invoice, your operations — only your bill gets greener and lighter.
We produce
Our renewable plant injects clean electricity onto the public grid.
The grid allocates
In France, Enedis (distribution) and RTE (transmission) assign this production to your consumption point through certified declaration mechanisms — fully audited, fully traceable.
Your bill adjusts
The volume produced is automatically deducted from the kilowatt-hours invoiced by your supplier.
You only pay the rest
Your existing supplier keeps billing you for the residual consumption only — no contract switch, no operational disruption, no learning curve for your teams.
You manage no technical flows, no declarations, no contractual adjustments — VoltWatt orchestrates everything.
Built for Decision-Makers
A strategic energy lever that respects your time, your teams, and your operations.
Operational continuity
Your operations stay exactly as they are. The PPA layer plugs in beneath them — silently, reliably, for decades.
Executive summary
A PPA acts as a complementary supply layer — strengthening your sourcing without disrupting your operations.
Zero change to internal operations
Your teams, tools, processes and ERP integrations stay exactly as they are. The PPA bolts onto your existing setup — invisibly.
Uninterrupted power supply
The grid still guarantees your full continuity — the PPA simply layers on top of your existing setup.
Crystal-clear billing
PPA energy and grid energy appear distinctly on your invoice. Full transparency, full control.
A strategic supply layer
The PPA complements — never replaces — your current procurement, acting as a long-term hedge.
3 Models. One That Fits Your Territory.
Whether your site has rooftop space, a local industrial neighbour, or relies on a remote renewable park — there is a PPA model engineered for you.
On Your Roof or Parking
We install the renewable plant directly on your premises — your roof, parking canopy or unused land becomes your power source.
- >50% Maximum savings on your power bill
- No TURPE Off-grid setup eliminates France's network charge (TURPE)
- Behind-the-meter No public grid in between — pure self-consumption
Within Your Region
A renewable plant within roughly 20 km of your site — short circuit, strong local roots, and meaningful French network-fee reduction.
- ~30% Reduction on French network fees (TURPE)
- <20 km Proximity to your facility
- Local anchoring Short circuit and strong regional roots
A Dedicated Renewable Park
A wind or solar farm dedicated to you, located anywhere in France or Europe — engineered for high-volume industrial buyers.
- Large volumes Secured supply for high-consumption industrial sites
- Total flexibility Tap a remote park anywhere in the country
- Dedicated park A wind or solar asset structured around your needs
* Technical analysis required to determine the optimal solution based on your load profile.

A market in full acceleration
Across Europe, the corporate PPA wave is no longer a forecast — it is a measurable shift. France is now stepping into a decisive phase as historical regulated tariffs fade away.
European PPA volumes have multiplied since 2019, with industrial buyers leading the charge.
Corporate PPAs already signed in France over the last five years — and the curve is accelerating.
The end of regulated nuclear tariffs (ARENH) is opening a decisive window for long-term contracts.
The decade of long-term, decarbonised energy contracts has begun. Move first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Corporate PPA?
A Corporate PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a long-term bilateral contract between a renewable energy producer and a corporate buyer. It fixes the electricity price for 10-25 years, providing budget certainty and supporting decarbonization goals.
What duration for a PPA contract?
PPA contracts typically range from 10 to 25 years, with the most common duration being 10-15 years. Longer contracts provide greater price certainty but may require stronger creditworthiness. In France, most PPAs are signed for 15-20 years.
Who can sign a Corporate PPA?
Any company with sufficient electricity consumption and adequate creditworthiness can sign a PPA. In France, the Bpifrance guarantee fund facilitates access for mid-sized companies. Key sectors include manufacturing, retail, transportation, data centers and public entities.
What are the advantages for businesses?
Key advantages include: long-term price stability decorrelated from wholesale market volatility, meeting CSR and carbon neutrality objectives, competitive pricing compared to market rates, access to Guarantees of Origin, and improved ESG ratings.
How does the ARENH phase-out affect the PPA market?
The ARENH mechanism allowed French companies to buy nuclear electricity at €42/MWh. Its phase-out at end of 2025 removes this price hedge, making corporate PPAs the primary tool for securing long-term competitive electricity prices. This is expected to significantly boost PPA demand in France.
