Energy generation and infrastructure

Clean energy requires the use of renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biomass. Since generating energy from these sources plays such a major role in the energy transition, Rabobank has set an ambitious agenda for the energy portfolio. For instance, we are investing in innovative technologies such as battery storage and geothermal energy. Next to supporting sustainable energy generation we want to help improving and developing sustainable energy infrastructure.

Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPA’s): Counterparty risk coverage to realize renewable projects

Rabobank's PPAssurance is a financial solution that addresses counterparty risks in renewable energy projects, supporting the energy transition as subsidies phase out. The first deal using this structure was signed in 2022 between Klimaatfonds Nederland and Scholt Energy.

    The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that an annual investment of around EUR 5 trillion is needed worldwide to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Long-term energy off-take contracts play a crucial role in attracting investments as government subsidies decline. PPAssurance provided by Rabobank guarantees the credit risk of the energy off-taker in renewable energy projects such as wind or solar. This innovative product helps mitigate counterparty risks and accelerates the energy transition. The first agreement using PPAssurance was signed between Klimaatfonds Nederland and Scholt Energy in 2022.
