A Hellenic Energy Exchange market survey for a prospective green-energy PPA platform, now being shaped, is set to be completed this Friday, the deadline faced by participants for sending in their responses to a questionnaire received.

The survey, whose results will shed light on the market’s PPA-related needs and, thereby, help shape the platform, has been distributed to energy sector players across the board, from suppliers to producers, major-scale consumers, developers, aggregators, traders and banks.

The questionnaire includes technical questions not previously asked as well as more specific questions. The energy exchange wants to take into consideration all factors that could impact the operations of the platform facilitating bilateral green-energy power purchase agreements.

The energy exchange intends to process the survey’s results for a comprehensive picture by September, before transforming the information obtained into an advanced market plan. It will undergo a new round of consultation, whose scheduling has yet to be determined.

The energy exchange aims to establish a green-energy PPA platform that will encourage the participation of small and medium-sized investors. Big investors, experience has already shown, are capable of acting independently to establish PPAs.
