Power Purchase Agreements

Power purchase agreements are long-term renewable energy agreements; usually between 5 years and 20 years long. There are two different types of PPA's - that can be used for different purposes.

Offsite PPA:

(between the producer/seller of renewable power and an energy buyer)
This is an agreement between the person selling energy from their own renewable power project - and a buyer looking to purchasing energy off them.This is well-suited to those able to commit to an energy contract over a long period accounting for a proportion of their energy usage.

• Reduce your energy costs - A PPA contract could be 10x cheaper compared to current wholesale energy prices.

• Reduce your carbon emissions.

• Provides a Fixed Price (£/MWh) for the duration of the contract.

• Budget certainty over a long period (5 - 20 years).

• Access to an off-grid, back-up power source should power outages occur in your area

Onsite PPA: 

(between a customer installing renewable power developer financing the project)
This is an agreement between a customer interested in housing a renewable power system on their property, and a developer who will finance the design, installation, and maintenance of the equipment for them.

The customer will reap the benefits of access to on-site, renewable energy at a low cost but with no upfront cost to fund the project. The developer will get a return on their investment by charging the customer for their energy usage over a long-term contract and pay back period, with any spare energy being sold back to the grid or to other users looking to sign up to a PPA energy contract.

This is generally suitable for customers with the land or roof space to house the renewable power system and are large energy consumers - meaning the investor is guaranteed an easy return.

• Implement on-site generation at zero upfront costs for your business.

• Avoid volatile energy market and high prices.

• No maintenance or insurance costs.

• Immediate savings on electricity bills.

• Green credentials and reduction in carbon at zero cost to you.

• Transferrable to new occupiers of the property.
