Practical Use Cases of PPAs and GOs

Understand how Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Guarantees of Origin (GOs) are utilized across various industries

Transportation

Companies using electric vehicles for goods transportation or electric mobility can utilize PPAs for low and stable charging costs, and Guarantees of Origin to prove that the electricity used in vehicles comes from renewable sources.

The transport company Adif has awarded a contract to cover the electricity consumption of its trains through GOs, from April 2023 to December 2025.

Tourism

To certify that tourist establishments and activities are environmentally friendly and use renewable energy.

For example, a hotel can use PPAs or Guarantees of Origin to demonstrate that it's a sustainable and environmentally committed establishment, benefiting from electricity savings.

Commercial Buildings

Offices, shops, and shopping centers require a large amount of electricity for lighting, heating, cooling, as well as powering electronic equipment and HVAC systems.

The use of GOs improves their reputation as an environmentally responsible company, while PPAs help save on electricity bills.

Hospitals

Hospitals operate 24/7 and require a large amount of electricity to power medical equipment, lighting, HVAC systems, among others.

The use of PPAs and GOs can improve their reputation as an institution committed to health and the environment.

Manufacturing Industry

Industrial production is one of the largest consumers of electricity. Factories and production plants working with heavy machinery and complex industrial processes typically require large amounts of electricity to operate.

Through PPAs and GOs, they can reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs, improve their corporate image, and be suppliers to other companies with sustainability requirements.

Data Centers

Data centers are key facilities in the operation of companies and organizations, but their high electricity consumption can generate a negative impact on the environment and corporate reputation.

Therefore, the adoption of renewable energy and Guarantees of Origin can be an effective strategy to improve their sustainability and attractiveness to new clients.
