War in the Middle East is putting pressure on energy markets and boosting the value of solar and storage power purchase agreements (PPAs), with Europe seeing a surge in activity in March, according to Swiss consultancy Pexapark.
As Europe prepares to roll out 200 GWh of battery storage over the next five years, discussion at the Battery Business & Development Forum 2026 turns to how financing models are rapidly shifting. Bankers, developers and stakeholders shared key pain points with the audience, as well as practical advice.
Swiss analytics firm Pexapark finds February saw the highest monthly volume of new European power purchase agreements (PPAs) since February 2024, including the longest PPA observed in the European market to date.
Swiss analytics firm Pexapark finds January recorded roughly half the deal count and volume in new European power purchase agreements than the month prior.
Solar power purchase agreement (PPA) prices rose 8% last year as tax credit uncertainty and foreign entity of concern (FEOC) compliance narrowed the pool of bankable projects, according to Pexapark.
With conventional renewable PPA momentum slowing, Europe’s flexibility market soared in 2025, driven by a surge in fixed-offtake agreements and BESS optimization structures. At the same time, co-located storage gained unprecedented traction, signaling a shift toward more integrated and flexible energy solutions.
Swiss-based analytics firm Pexapark recorded 30 power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Europe in October totaling 2.06 GW of contracted capacity, the highest monthly volume reported so far this year.
Swiss-based analytics firm Pexapark recorded 19 power purchase agreements (PPA) in Europe this September, as PPA prices across most major European markets fell month-on-month.
