Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term electricity supply contract between a power producer and a buyer — typically a utility, government entity, or large industrial consumer — specifying volume, price, term, and delivery conditions over 15-25 years. PPAs are the foundational financing mechanism for renewable energy infrastructure because they convert variable solar, wind, and geothermal output into a predictable, bankable revenue stream.

Israeli renewable capacity expansion runs primarily through PPAs. Israel reached approximately 13% renewables in its electricity mix in 2024, behind the official 30% target for 2030. Enlight Renewable Energy leads Israeli developers operating PPAs globally; SolarEdge and Ormat Technologies sit alongside as the public-market Israeli energy names.
