Buy renewable power

Helping the world transition to a renewable energy future

Lightsource bp provides utilities, businesses, and governments opportunities to procure renewable power with no up-front capital investment. Our responsibly developed, utility-scale solar projects are accessed through tailored power contracts, providing future pricing predictability.

Delivering sustainable solar projects for over a decade

Participate in our European multi-buyer PPA

Businesses with lower energy demands should still be able to tackle price volatility and climate change. Our collective solar power purchase agreement (PPA) can lower the barrier to entry while increasing the benefits across the group of corporate buyers. We do this by pooling the electricity demand of several less-intensive energy users to create a unique PPA, tailored to their needs.
