European PPAs - Quarterly

WHAT THIS FILE IS

The register behind the Sherpa Directory "European PPA Offtakers", as data you can filter, join and load into your own models. One row for every buyer record of a power purchase agreement for a European generating asset first announced between 1 January 2024 and 25 September 2026: the buyer and its group, the seller, the asset country, technology, volume, tenor and structure where announced, and the sources.

Alongside the deals: the corporate and public buyer groups with sector, headquarters, listing, website and RE100 status; the sellers; and the law firms, PPA advisers and brokers, lenders and other advisers named on the contracts, with the side each acted for.

Every value is as announced. A blank means the term was not announced, and nothing is estimated. Deal numbers and IDs match the directory and stay the same in every update.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

An Excel workbook with a Read me sheet that explains every column and counting rule, plus the same tables as CSV files that load without cleaning. Deal numbers and IDs match the European PPA Offtakers directory and stay the same in every update.
