EDP leading the energy transition with behind the meter onsite solar PPAs

EDP is reshaping how Small & Medium Enterprises can benefit from clean solar renewable energy and storage solutions without any initial upfront investment, across multiple European markets and beyond, harnessing the power of the sun to bring energy savings to the ecosystem where EDP leads the energy transition.

As EDP continues to expand its global presence, it remains committed to supporting companies worldwide in adopting more sustainable energy solutions, and it does so with a leading position in corporate PPAs, surpassing the landmark of 15GW of PPA contracted capacity globally by March 2025, but also helping smaller companies in the journey to clean energy and energy savings.

The rollout of onsite distributed assets brings EDP closer to its clients in the journey to sustainability, delivering turnkey solutions but also staying alongside them beyond, servicing asset operations and maintenance, energy management capabilities and additional energy efficiency and sustainable energy solutions, releasing companies to focus on their core business.

Reinventing rooftop PPAs investment decision process with Effizency

With the help of Effizency, a cutting-edge software, EDP deployed an innovative digital sales process by moving its investment assessment capabilities to the point of sale of a broad and diverse channel network, enabling salespeople, specialists, account managers and partner agents with the tools and data to autonomously offer “no money down solutions”, promote energy savings and sustainability benefits to their enterprise clients.

With Effizency digital platform, EDP takes minutes to accurately calculate onsite Power Purchase Agreements’ solar energy tariffs that ensure target financial return and savings for the client, aligning the incentives of the parties towards capital deployment in energy transition assets, based on real time complex financial modelling, risk, CAPEX & OPEX analysis, and automated optimization of systems technical sizing to best fit each company needs, consumption profiles and objectives, e.g. maximizing savings, minimizing energy tariffs, or other.
