Similar deals, different valuations:

  • Current deal: 300 MW sold at $0.95 million per MW
  • Previous deal: 150 MW sold at $1.22 million per MW

Unlocking the Valuation Mystery: The PPA Factor 

The key factor driving the variance in valuation? The type of PPA. The previous deal's utility PPA perhaps secured a higher power sale price and hence higher valuation, whereas the current corporate PPA is resulting in a lower valuation.

With the corporate PPA market in Spain being highly competitive and power prices lower, developers are on the lookout for strategies to enhance asset valuation. And here’s where utility PPAs shine, offering a pathway to higher valuations.
