PPA MARKET EVOLUTION — 12 MONTHS
Q1 2025 234 PPA developers. Average solar PPA: €48/MWh, wind: €58/MWh. Corporate PPAs dominated by tech giants (Google, Amazon, Microsoft). Only 5 developers had /api pages.
Q2 2025 267 (+14.1%). Mid-market corporate PPA demand surging — /products pages showing SME-targeted PPAs for first time on 23 developers. Solar PPA prices dropped to €45/MWh avg.
Q3 2025 289 (+8.2%). Statkraft launches baseload PPA (wind+storage) — new product category. /pricing pages show premium for firm delivery. 12 developers added /api pages (digital PPA booking).
Q4 2025 301 (+4.2%). 3 wind PPA developers removed /pricing pages — margin pressure. Hybrid PPAs (solar+wind+storage) appearing on 24 developers' /products pages.
Q1 2026 312 (+3.7%). Solar PPAs at €42/MWh (record low). Lightsource BP launches API-based PPA quoting. wpd.de signals distress — potential off-market PPA acquisition opportunity.
Domain Signal
wpd.de — Removed /pricing, /careers down 34%, /investors mentions "strategic options." Classic distressed developer pattern. Has 12 wind PPAs available in Germany totaling ~540 MW. FlexPower could acquire off-market PPAs at discount before public auction.
OPPORTUNITY — Distressed PPA acquisition at discount
Company Signal
Lightsource BP — First developer to launch self-service PPA quoting /api. Solar PPAs at €39-44/MWh (lowest in market). Expanding into Belgium and Austria. Digital-first model reducing transaction costs by ~40%. This company is disrupting traditional PPA brokerage — FlexPower should integrate their API for real-time PPA sourcing.
INTEGRATE — API-based PPA sourcing for FlexPower desk
Sector Signal
European PPA Market — Solar PPAs at record-low €42/MWh, undercutting wind by €10+/MWh. Baseload PPAs (wind+storage) emerging at €56-64/MWh premium. 34 developers now have /api pages (was 5 a year ago). Market bifurcating into commodity solar PPAs and premium firm-delivery PPAs. FlexPower should build an intermediary PPA desk to arbitrage the spread.
STRUCTURAL SHIFT — PPA market bifurcating, arbitrage emerging

Generate Trading Signals from Digital-Weather Correlation
Domain Signal
tennet.eu + amprion.net + 50hertz.com — Three German TSOs published grid stress warnings on /press simultaneously at 06:00 UTC, a full 18 hours before peak pricing. Historical backtesting shows triple-TSO warning has preceded €200+/MWh prices 91% of the time. This signal alone would have generated a profitable long position 18 hours early.
LEADING INDICATOR — TSO /press is 18-hour early warning signal
Company Signal
EnBW (Coal Reserve Dispatch) — /products page showed coal reserve units as "dispatched" at 18:00 UTC, 6 hours before peak. EnBW only dispatches coal reserves in extreme events (3x in past 12 months). Each prior dispatch correlated with day-ahead prices above €250/MWh. This is a high-conviction signal for extreme pricing.
HIGH CONVICTION — Coal dispatch = extreme price event confirmed
Sector Signal
European Grid Stress Cascade — 28 retailers updating /pricing simultaneously, 34 utilities publishing /support outage pages, 67 /login portals degraded. The cascade pattern — TSO /press (T-18h) → exchange /pricing (T-12h) → retailer /pricing (T-8h) → utility /support (T-6h) → /login degradation (T-0h) — is a repeatable playbook. Each stage confirms escalation and narrows uncertainty on peak price level.
