Abundant affordable electricity matters to everyone.
Public access to PPAs will support the growing norm of transparency in public procurement to reduce corruption, scale-up clean energy deployment, and ultimately contribute towards ending poverty in emerging markets where electricity demand is exploding.
Problem
Nontransparent PPAs lead to increased governance and investment risk because of suspected corruption or subsequent contract renegotiation.
Lack of open pricing and other market data allows actors with privileged access undue advantage in getting contracts signed.
While individual investors may not be ready to push for transparency in a specific project, applying a new norm of contract disclosure across all market actors would benefit everyone.
