In pockets of Asia, corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are emerging as a transformative tool opening access to renewable energy and driving decarbonisation.

Our series explores the rise of corporate PPAs in Vietnam, Japan, Malaysia and (coming soon) South Korea. These agreements are reshaping energy markets by empowering businesses to directly source renewable energy. 

Each jurisdiction presents unique opportunities and challenges:

In Vietnam, PPAs are driving a transparent energy market, giving large companies more control over their energy choices and costs.

Japan's corporate PPAs are financing new renewable projects, crucial for the nation’s energy security and decarbonisation goals.

Malaysia is embracing corporate PPAs to accelerate its shift towards renewables, opening new doors for businesses to lead in sustainability.

In South Korea corporate renewable procurement options are expanding in response to the rapid growth of the data centre market and rising demand for clean energy. This marks a significant shift from its traditionally centralised electricity market.

Prepared in collaboration with local counsel, our expert insights help you to navigate rapidly evolving markets with confidence.
