Document background
The Power Purchase Contract is a crucial document used in Belgium's energy market to formalize long-term electricity supply arrangements between generators/suppliers and consumers. It addresses the unique aspects of Belgium's three-region federal structure and must comply with both Belgian federal law and EU energy regulations. This agreement type has become increasingly important with the growth of renewable energy projects and corporate procurement of green power. The document typically includes detailed provisions for energy pricing, delivery specifications, measurement procedures, regulatory compliance, and risk allocation. It's particularly relevant for renewable energy projects, industrial consumers seeking stable electricity supply, and corporations pursuing sustainability goals. The agreement must account for Belgium's specific green certificate schemes, regional energy policies, and grid access requirements while ensuring compatibility with EU internal market rules.
