Turn renewable energy generation into a reliable revenue opportunity.
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contractual arrangement for the sale of electricity generated by a renewable energy project.
Generating renewable electricity is only part of the opportunity.
If your system produces more electricity than your business uses, the surplus may be exported. A suitable PPA can provide a structured route for that electricity to be sold.
Generate additional value from electricity your renewable system produces.
Depending on the agreement, a PPA can provide greater certainty around the price received for exported electricity.
A PPA can help renewable generators maximise the commercial value of their generation.
The right agreement can form part of a wider energy and investment strategy.
PPAs can be relevant to a range of renewable energy projects, including:
The suitability of a PPA depends on factors such as the generation technology, project size, expected output, export arrangements and commercial requirements.
A fixed-price structure can provide greater certainty around the price received for exported electricity over an agreed period. This can be useful for businesses or project owners looking for more predictable revenue.
Some PPA structures can provide greater exposure to market pricing. These arrangements may suit generators who are comfortable with changes in market prices and want greater flexibility.
For larger businesses and renewable energy projects, longer-term agreements can potentially provide greater price stability and support wider sustainability objectives.
We start by understanding your renewable energy system, generation capacity and expected output.
We look at how your electricity is currently being used and what is being exported.
We help you understand the available contractual and commercial options.
The appropriate agreement is established based on the project requirements and commercial objectives.
Your renewable system continues generating electricity, with eligible surplus generation exported according to the agreed arrangement.
Revenue is generated from the electricity supplied under the PPA.
We look at your project, generation profile and commercial requirements before recommending an approach.
Our wider renewable energy services cover technologies including solar, wind and other renewable solutions.
We understand that renewable energy projects need to make commercial sense, not just environmental sense.
TRE can look at renewable generation alongside energy efficiency, consultancy and wider energy requirements.
A Power Purchase Agreement is a contract governing the sale of electricity generated by a renewable energy project to an agreed buyer.
PPAs can be relevant to renewable generators and project owners, including solar and wind projects. The suitability depends on the project’s characteristics and commercial requirements.
Potentially, yes. If a business has a renewable generation system and exports electricity, a PPA may provide a route for that exported electricity to be sold.
Not necessarily. PPA structures can differ, with some arrangements providing fixed-price certainty while others can be linked more closely to market pricing.
The contract length depends on the agreement and project. Different PPA structures can provide different contract periods and levels of flexibility.
TRE would typically need information about your renewable generation system, capacity, expected generation/export and existing energy or metering arrangements before assessing the appropriate options.
Make the Right PPA Decision
The right PPA depends on your generation profile, project size, export requirements and commercial objectives. Rather than choosing an agreement based purely on headline pricing, it's important to understand the terms, contract structure and how the arrangement fits your wider energy strategy. Let's discuss your project. Talk to Taurus Renewable Energy about your PPA requirements.
