NextEnergy Group has signed a corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) with global law firm DLA Piper for a 13MW solar asset.

Electricity from the solar site, which is to be built and operated in Somerset, England, will ‘virtually’ power 15 of DLA Piper’s European and UK offices.

“The corporate PPA market continues to strengthen,” said Ross Grier, UK managing director of NextEnergy Capital.

“Corporate PPAs will form an important component of the way companies seek to decarbonise over the next decade and it’s a pleasure being at the forefront of this with DLA Piper in the legal sector.”
