The challenge
Mapletree had completed a large logistics development in Oosterhout with a substantial rooftop solar installation, but needed to navigate two complex steps in parallel: selecting the right PPA partner from a fragmented market, and ensuring the system was technically and commercially ready to actually go live. Neither task was straightforward, and getting either wrong would directly impact revenue.
Our approach
Bluepeak ran a structured PPA tender, approaching multiple utilities and aggregators and evaluating their offers across price structure, contract flexibility, GoO treatment and counterparty risk. We identified two distinct strategies in the market: floor price guarantees vs. dynamic price optimisation. And advised Mapletree on the trade-offs for their specific situation.
In parallel, we took on the commissioning oversight: verifying all technical, contractual and regulatory prerequisites for the system to go live, setting up the EMS control infrastructure, and ensuring full compliance with SDE++ requirements to protect the subsidy position.
What we delivered
A clear recommendation on PPA partner selection based on a structured comparison of qualified offers, followed by hands-on support to get the system fully operational, commercially active and subsidy-compliant. The selected PPA partner delivered an estimated total revenue over 20% higher than the next best qualified offer: a direct result of the structured tender process and like-for-like comparison Bluepeak conducted.
Energy as a business
By managing both the commercial and operational track simultaneously, Bluepeak ensured there were no gaps between the PPA going live and the system being ready to deliver, protecting revenue from day one and avoiding costly delays or compliance risks.
