A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a contract used by a purchasing entity to procure electricity from a project developer. This contract specifies the volume and price of the energy purchased and the duration of the agreement. “Renewables PPAs” specifically procure electricity from renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar PV and are typically signed for durations between 5 and 20 years.
While these types of contracts are normally concluded between two private companies, they have recently started to be used by municipalities as an instrument to foster renewable energy deployment at local level. What is the difference with corporate buyers, which challenges come with a PPA and what are the recipe for success? Learn and discuss this with peers in a truly interactive virtual class.
