Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the Context of Utility Regulation

Описание: The African School of Regulation (ASR), in collaboration with the African Forum for Utility Regulators (AFUR), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Energy for Growth Hub, hosted this webinar on Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the context of utility regulation.

PPAs are a critical tool for enabling Africa’s clean energy transition and attracting sustainable private investment. In this session, we break down what PPAs are, why they matter for utilities and regulators, and how well-designed PPA frameworks can reduce risk and improve project bankability.

Key themes covered include:

The structure and essential components of PPAs

The role of regulatory oversight in PPA approval and monitoring

Addressing common challenges such as liquidity risks, tariff misalignment, and stranded capacity

Global best practices, including competitive procurement and renewable integration

Practical lessons for strengthening PPA frameworks across African power markets

This conversation is part of ASR’s ongoing work to support strong, future-ready regulation that expands access, reliability, and investment across Africa’s energy systems.
