Corporate PPA Contracts and Renewable Energy Procurement Strategies

On April 23, 2026, JPI (Japan Policy Institute) will host a seminar led by attorney Koji Fukatsu from TMI Associates. The focus will be on the practical aspects of Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and essential strategies for procuring renewable energy.

As businesses increasingly prioritize carbon neutrality (CN), the adoption of corporate PPAs has surged. These agreements allow companies to procure renewable energy, thus supporting their corporate sustainability goals. The seminar will delve deep into various types of corporate PPAs, including onsite and offsite options, as well as virtual PPAs that solely provide non-fossil certificates.

Key Highlights of the Seminar

1. Understanding Corporate PPAs: Participants will learn about the three main types of corporate PPAs: Physical On-site PPA, Physical Off-site PPA (including self-delivery), and Virtual PPA.
2. Contractual Elements: A thorough examination of the specific contract clauses related to corporate PPAs will be provided, ensuring that attendees are well-aware of their implications.
3. Challenges in Renewable Energy Projects: The seminar will address potential complications that may arise during the development, acquisition, and operation of renewable energy facilities connected to corporate PPAs. Recent court cases will be discussed to illustrate common disputes and resolutions.
4. Technical Requirements of RE100: An overview of the technical criteria set forth by RE100, an initiative aimed at accelerating the transition to 100% renewable energy, will also be presented.
5. Battery Storage Integration: The benefits of integrating battery storage solutions with renewable energy systems will be discussed, highlighting their significance in maximizing efficiency.
6. Valuating Non-Fossil Certificates: A discussion on the pricing dynamics of non-fossil certificates will enlighten participants about the financial aspects of renewable energy procurement.
7. Q&A Session: An interactive question-and-answer segment will allow attendees to engage directly with the instructor and clarify any uncertainties.
8. Networking Opportunity: Following the main presentation, a networking session will enable participants to exchange business cards and insights, fostering connections across various industries.
