PPA contract types and firm-capacity backing obligations
- Energy, water and telecommunications
- The power market and its tariffs
- not audited
Two routes coexist: the regulated PPAs that come out of the distributors' open tenders (the PEGs) and the freely negotiated bilateral contracts of the term market. A Firm Demand and Efficient Firm Supply obligation applies: every participant must back its demand with capacity contracts. Large users may also take part in the Interruptible Demand ancillary service, which is remunerated.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
