2026's PPA Mandate: Speed is the New Certainty

March 10, 2026

The clean energy transition has entered a new chapter in which speed is paramount. In North America, OBBBA has dramatically changed procurement landscape, motivating buyers to secure capacity before all remaining tax-credit-qualified projects are spoken for.

At the same time, demand has not waned. Fueled by the massive infrastructure needs of data centers and ambitious C&I decarbonization goals, our clients' activity indicates that procurement volumes in 2026 could outpace 2025, despite continued supply constraints. In today's environment, the corporate buyer’s traditional 18-month procurement cycle isn't just slow — it's a liability. ‍

A Platform Built for Decisive Action

In August, we launched the new LevelTen Platform, laying the structural foundation for a faster, more integrated clean energy market. Today, we are proud to announce several new platform improvements that empower efficient procurement of traditional PPAs, storage, and hybrid structures.

Here is how we’ve continued to reimagined the PPA process:

(Even) More Efficient Workflows: Whether engaging in a bilateral PPA deal discovered via Project Search or issuing a custom RFP, our modernized workflows are now fully self-service.
Expanded PPA Analytics and Financials: Don’t evaluate opportunities on price alone. You can now visualize deal financials in-platform and quickly toggle between various forecasts and curves to understand the full range of scenarios.
Streamlined Collaboration: Move your deals out of fragmented email chains and manual spreadsheets. Our platform centralizes internal stakeholders and external partners to get your deal to the finish line, faster and more easily than ever.

‍ Don’t Just Keep Up — Lead.

The 2026 market will not wait for "business as usual." Buyers who win this year will be those equipped to act quickly, with the analytical confidence to back up their decision-making.
