Spain’s PPA Prices Fall as Europe’s Climb
Spanish Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) prices fell 3.5% in September while Pexapark’s European composite rose 5% — Spain was the only major market moving the other way.

Behind that divergence sits a quieter trend: hybrid solar-plus-storage PPAs hit a monthly high in September, and flexibility agreements more than doubled from August. Buyers are increasingly paying for firmness, not just volume.
That’s the shift we’ve been pricing into new greenfield for some time. A stand-alone solar asset increasingly competes on a different curve than a solar-plus-storage asset, and the gap shows up first in the PPA terms, long before it shows up in headline capex.
Deal count rose too — 25 PPAs covering roughly 1.2 GW in September, up from 14 deals and 335 MW in August, with corporate buyers taking most of the volume.
Liquidity is building even as unit prices in Spain soften — two trends that only look contradictory until you look at what’s actually being contracted.
For developers still structuring solar-only pipelines in Iberia we advise to do hybridisation earlier in the design.
