POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT (PPA)

WHAT IS A POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT (PPA)?

​

Anglia Solar and its partners can facilitate a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in order to supply you with clean green energy which you can use just as you would draw energy from the grid. It is a contract between an electricity generator (us) and a power purchaser (you). We install green energy generation technology (by example solar panels) - these can be on-site, on your premises and also off-site from your premises - and in this agreement, the generator (us) agrees to sell a specified amount of electricity to the purchaser (you) at an agreed price for a set period of time. PPAs are commonly used in the renewable energy industry to facilitate the development and financing of renewable energy projects. You can pay for the energy without paying for the solar panels.

PPAs reduce the financial risks associated with developing renewable energy projects as you would not be responsible for funding the project. This is the responsibility of  the generator. Your responsibility would be to agree a price per kWh of energy supplied and the period over which the energy will be available to you.

Additionally, not only is the financial risk to you substantially reduced but Power Purchase Agreements can help power purchasers (you) meet your sustainability goals and requirements by providing access to clean, renewable energy sources.

Overall, Power Purchase Agreements play a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable energy future by enabling the development of renewable energy projects and facilitating the adoption of clean energy sources.

Entering into a power purchase agreement (PPA) can offer tangible benefits for businesses and organisations (commercial, non-commercial and public sector) looking to secure long-term, stable energy rates. One primary advantage is cost predictability. A PPAs can lock in electricity prices for 10-20 years, shielding you from volatile market fluctuations. Further PPAs can provide a hedge against rising energy costs and help reduce operational risks associated with fluctuation and the  inevitable rise of energy prices. Entering into Purchase Power Agreements can contribute to meeting corporate sustainability goals by supporting renewable energy projects and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The financial savings from a Purchase Power Agreement can enhance business competitiveness and profitability by lowering overall operating expenses.

HOW DOES A POWER PURCHASE

AGREEMENT WORK?

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contractual agreement between a developer of a green power plant (us) – typically renewable energy such as solar or wind – and the purchaser of the electricity generated by the plant (you). The terms of a PPA outline details such as the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity supplied to you over the lifetime of the agreement. The purchaser (you) benefits from stable pricing for your electricity needs and the developer (us) secures financing for the project.
