Article Summaries:

  • BloombergNEF reported that global corporate clean‑power purchase agreement (PPA) volumes fell 10 % in 2025, the first decline in nearly a decade, with 55.9 GW of deals signed. Technology giants dominated the market, accounting for 49 % of activity; Meta and Amazon led with 20.4 GW, including 4.7 GW of nuclear. The United States remained the largest market (29.5 GW) but the number of unique buyers dropped 51 %. Europe, MENA and Africa saw a 13 % drop to 17 GW, while Asia Pacific fell 6.9 GW from 10.7 GW. Rising power prices, policy uncertainty and negative price hours are eroding the value of standalone solar and wind, prompting a shift toward hybrid and firm‑power solutions. Engie topped developers with 3.6 GW of contracts.
