HEA member discussion on the questions and content of the consultation on Corporate Power Purchase Agreements issued by DESNZ and DBT. It is part of the Government’s Clean Energy Superpower mission, which sets out a long-term plan to boost energy security and reduce electricity costs by investing in clean energy.
CPPAs refer to long term electricity purchase agreements between a generator and a business (the buyer). The focus of this call for evidence considers which types of CPPA are most attractive for industrial and commercial electricity consumers and which actions could support growth in the GB CPPA market.

Lee is currently CEO of Fuel Cell Systems Ltd (FCSL). Industry insiders often talk about Hydrogen’s Chicken and Egg problem: Vehicle manufacturers cannot sell hydrogen vehicles without a refuelling infrastructure; Infrastructure & fuel network providers cannot recoup their investment if there are not enough vehicles using hydrogen. The result is Gridlock! Our approach has been to redefine the Chicken and Egg problem as simply “Refuelling Infrastructure is too expensive”. Now that’s an engineering problem we can fix!
Prior to FCSL, Lee spent eight years at UK Fuel Cell manufacturer Intelligent Energy, completing his time there as Chief Sales Officer. Leading the global commercial team and launching Intelligent Energy’s low carbon hydrogen products in to three market sectors: automotive, power generation and aviation. Lee’s involvement with the hydrogen industry started back in 1995 when among other projects he supported the field trials of SOFC CHP.
