European PPA market – Is it fit for purpose?
Europe signed only 280MW of renewable energy PPAs in May 2025, representing the lowest capacity of PPAs signed in Europe since 2020, according to Pexapark’s monthly ‘PPA Times’ report. This is also an almost 80% drop from the previous month in terms of capacity, and a 45% drop in number of deals signed. What should energy procurement look like in the future and how is the PPA market evolving to demand.
