Renewable Power Purchase Agreement Global Market Report 2025

The renewable power purchase agreement market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $32.01 billion in 2024 to $35.42 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the historic period is driven by rising demand for clean energy, government incentives and subsidies, technological advancements in renewable energy, corporate sustainability initiatives, and increasing electricity costs from conventional sources.

The renewable power purchase agreement market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be connected to the expansion of corporate renewable procurement, growing adoption of hybrid PPA structures, regulatory mandates for net zero targets, declining costs of solar and wind power, and integration of energy storage with renewable PPAs. Major trends in the forecast period include blockchain based energy trading platforms, integration of AI and IoT for real time energy management, growth of corporate renewable PPAs, emergence of hybrid renewable energy PPAs, and adoption of green hydrogen linked PPAs.

The increasing focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria is expected to enhance the growth of the renewable power purchase agreement market going forward. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria refer to the growing emphasis on sustainable, ethical, and transparent business practices. The rise in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria results from the growth of sustainable investment, as businesses adopt responsible practices to attract investors and enhance long-term value. The growing focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria promotes the adoption of renewable power purchase agreements by encouraging organizations to align energy procurement with sustainability goals, reduce carbon footprints, meet stakeholder expectations, and demonstrate responsible corporate governance. For instance, in September 2025, according to a report published by KPMG, a Netherlands-based professional services company, 56 percent of companies use ESG data dashboards to collect, organize, store, and analyze non-financial data, while 68 percent reported using traditional artificial intelligence or machine learning. Additionally, 63 percent of leaders expect ESG assurance to improve employee engagement and productivity, compared to 47 percent of beginners. Therefore, the increasing focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria is enhancing the growth of the renewable power purchase agreement market.

Leading companies in the renewable power purchase agreement market are emphasizing the adoption of blockchain and artificial intelligence-based digital platforms, such as modular solar thermal energy systems, to strengthen their competitive position. These systems harness and store solar energy as heat within long-duration thermal batteries, enabling on-demand electricity generation and overcoming the intermittency challenges associated with conventional renewable sources. For example, in September 2024, Exowatt, a U.S.-based renewable energy enterprise, launched the Exowatt P3 - a modular energy solution tailored for data centers and industrial operations. The Exowatt P3 features a scalable architecture, provides up to 24 hours of energy storage, and delivers power at an industry-leading cost of less than 4 cents per kWh. It allows for rapid deployment, requires minimal maintenance, and supports zero-carbon operations using domestically sourced materials. This innovation facilitates seamless renewable energy integration by ensuring a reliable and cost-efficient power supply, reducing operational expenses, and significantly lowering CO2 emissions. Such transformative technologies are redefining the future of renewable power purchase agreements by advancing both energy resilience and sustainability.

In February 2025, ONGC NTPC Green Private Limited (ONGPL), an India-based joint venture specializing in renewable energy solutions such as solar, wind, and energy storage, acquired Ayana Renewable Power Private Limited for approximately USD 2.3 billion (₹19,500 crore). Through this acquisition, ONGPL aims to accelerate India’s transition toward a low-carbon economy and substantially expand its renewable energy portfolio, supporting the Net Zero goals of its parent companies, ONGC and NTPC, by 2038 and 2050 respectively. Ayana Renewable Power is an India-based renewable energy platform with about 4.1 gigawatts of operational and under-construction solar, wind, and round-the-clock power assets, contracted with high-credit-rated off-takers including SECI, NTPC, GUVNL, and Indian Railways.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.
