The world needs clean energy.
Clean energy markets need transparency.
Our mission: Unlock clean energy markets through transparency.
Our climate future hinges on whether global clean energy markets can rapidly scale. But electricity contracts in emerging economies are often signed behind closed doors, slowing deployment and stifling competition. Secret contracts result in more expensive and less reliable power needed for people and industry. PPA Watch advocates for contract transparency to accelerate reliable, modern clean energy for everyone.
