SEATTLE, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In the third quarter, North American P25* solar and wind power purchase agreement (PPA) prices soared 9.6% to $45.93 per MWh, according to a new report from LevelTen Energy, operator of the world's largest PPA marketplace. These long-term energy contract prices are now 34% higher than the same period last year, continuing the steady rise that began in 2020, when supply chain challenges worsened by the pandemic upended years of low PPA prices. The industry has since faced a series of compounding economic, regulatory and permitting challenges that have created an imbalance between PPA supply and demand, and led to an increase in development costs, keeping prices high.

Key Points: 
  • "As the hard work of implementing the IRA begins, everyone wants to know when it will lower PPA prices.
  • The second involves development costs, which keep increasing as the price of labor, capital, commodities, and other project inputs continue rising alongside inflation.
  • Solar P25 PPA prices rose 7.5% to $42.21 per MWh, while wind P25 PPA prices spiked 11.4% to $49.66 per MWh.
  • All PPA price data in LevelTen's report are based on the prices that developers are offering for PPA contracts, not transacted PPA prices.
