Development of IT Infrastructure Projects and Romania’s Accession to AIB Bring New Confidence to the PPA Market
The market for long-term renewable energy contracts (Power Purchase Agreements – PPA) continues to gain ground in Romania, driven by new wind and photovoltaic projects under development and the growing interest of companies in green energy. Romania is keeping pace with the sustained growth of PPA contracting, with approximately 500 MW of contracted capacity in 2025.
These developments will be at the center of discussions during the 6th edition of the Romanian Green PPA conference, an event that will bring together approximately 200 participants – renewable project developers, investors, energy suppliers, consultants and large industrial consumers – at a time when PPA contracts are becoming an increasingly important instrument for financing green energy projects and stabilizing energy costs.
According to representatives of Pexapark, who will be present at the event, in 2025 the main segments of corporate buyers in Europe were information technology, accounting for 32% of the total PPA volume, consumer goods with 15%, and transport with 13%. Operators in the technology and data center sectors are expected to further increase their share in the PPA market and will be present on the conference stage to discuss procurement mechanisms for data centers.
This year’s edition will bring together specialists directly involved in renewable project development, energy trading and the structuring of long-term contracts. The speakers will address topics that will allow participants to make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving market, from the current structure of the energy market and the available contracting mechanisms to co-guarantee instruments for consumers and solutions that can facilitate the signing of PPA contracts. These financial mechanisms will be presented by the EIB (European Investment Bank) representative, Nikolay Petrov, during the opening panel of the event.
Discussions will also include legislative developments relevant to the market and emerging trends in the structure of these contracts, in the context of new energy consumption hubs. At the same time, Romania’s accession as an observer member to AIB brings additional optimism to the market, opening the prospect of integrating the Romanian system of guarantees of origin into the European market and enabling potential cross-border transactions starting in 2027.
The conference agenda reflects the maturation of the local market and shifts the discussion from the legislative framework to the way contracts are implemented in practice. Participants will analyze the evolution of PPA models, the role of suppliers and traders in facilitating these agreements and how companies can build efficient green energy procurement strategies in a context of high price volatility.
This year’s edition of the Romanian Green PPA conference is supported by Monsson Trading, Suciu Partners, G Energy Solutions, Voltlink, Econergy, Nano Energies, Bursa Romana de Marfuri, Enery and R.Power, companies actively involved in the development of the energy market and in supporting investments in renewable projects in Romania.
The event is supported by the strategic partners PATRES (Romanian Association of Renewable Energy Producers), AMRCR (Association of Large Retail Networks in Romania), CIROM (Employers’ Association of the Cement Industry in Romania) and AFEER (Association of Electricity Suppliers in Romania).
