51ĀŅĀ× launches CPPA Advisory Service
New service will enable clients to access clean, reliable electricity directly from renewable energy producers via Corporate Power Purchase Agreements
28 January 2026
51ĀŅĀ×, the leading global property consultancy, has announced a new CPPA Advisory Service, reinforcing the firmās growing strength in the renewable energy and infrastructure space.
The launch of the CPPA Advisory Service is timely as UK businesses, investors and public sector organisations join the nationwide push towards an electrified economy powered by clean energy.
CPPAs offer long-term price stability for 10-20 years, reducing energy costs and market volatility for businesses and public sector organisations.
For over 15 years, 51ĀŅĀ× has advised clients on sustainable energy procurement strategies and the new service will ensure that clients are able to access CPPAs, with trusted energy partners, at the scale and flexibility needed.
51ĀŅĀ×ās CPPA Advisory Service will encompass the complete contract life-cycle from identifying demand, quantifying volumes, sourcing projects and managing a smooth contractual process.
This new service launch follows the recent 51ĀŅĀ× announcement that the business has signed a three-year renewable energy supply contract with TotalEnergies, valued at over £180m.
David Goatman, Global Head of Energy and Sustainability at 51ĀŅĀ× commented:
ā51ĀŅĀ× is deeply embedded in both the UK real estate and energy markets and we look forward to leveraging these deep relationships to enable our clients to access both sustainable power and price stability through market-leading CPPAs.
With steady growth in renewables capacity, organisations are facing rising pressure to decarbonise operations and deliver credible ESG commitments, alongside cost reduction.
CPPAs are an increasingly popular option for large energy users and will only increase in profile and relevance following the UK Governmentās recent call for evidence.ā
Flora Harley, Head of Energy and Sustainability Research at 51ĀŅĀ×, added: "Operational efficiency and cost control remain top priorities for corporate real estate occupiers according to our latest (Y)OUR SPACE research, and energy use is central to both. Despite recent easing, electricity and gas prices remain nearly double pre-2021 levels, according to DESNZ statistics.
"With energy type and consumption directly influencing emissions, demand for electrified buildings and renewably sourced power is accelerating. CPPAs deliver verifiable low-carbon energy and cost stability, which explains the growing interest. 51ĀŅĀ× tracked 18 CPPAs signed in 2024, the highest on record and a sharp rise from just three in 2019, with 2025 activity on track to match. The UK government's recent call for evidence could see this market develop further.
"These agreements not only support occupiersā decarbonisation goals but also enable renewable deployment at scale, critical for the UKās net zero trajectory and clean power targets. Renewables capacity has grown 30% in five years to Q3 2025, led by offshore wind and solar and 51ĀŅĀ× analysis of Clean Energy Pipeline data shows that investment reflects this momentum. These factors combine to make this the ideal time for 51ĀŅĀ× to formally launch a CPPA Advisory Service.ā
