A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contractual agreement between a renewable energy generator and a consumer (such as a business or utility) to purchase electricity at an agreed-upon price over a specified period.

Under a PPA, the renewable energy generator sells electricity directly to the consumer at an agreed upon rate, typically lower than retail electricity prices. The consumer benefits from stable energy costs and may support renewable energy development without the need for upfront capital investment in generation assets.

Some benefits of entering into a PPA include:

• Stable or reduced energy costs over the long term.
• Potential for fixed or predictable energy pricing, protecting against market volatility.
• Environmental benefits and sustainability credentials associated with supporting renewable energy generation.

PPAs are typically entered into by commercial and industrial businesses, public sector organizations, utilities, and other large energy consumers.

PPAs often have durations ranging from 10 to 25 years, although shorter or longer terms may be negotiated depending on factors such as project economics, financing arrangements, and regulatory considerations.

Exiting a PPA before the end of the contract term may be possible but could be subject to penalties or termination fees, depending on the terms negotiated in the contract. Parties should carefully review the termination provisions and seek legal advice if considering early termination.

Depending on the regulatory framework and contractual arrangements, consumers may have the option to sell excess electricity generated under a PPA back to the grid, either directly or through mechanisms such as net metering or feed-in tariffs. However, this capability may vary depending on jurisdiction and utility policies.

Renegotiating the terms of a PPA during the contract term may be possible under certain circumstances, such as changes in market conditions, regulatory requirements, or project performance. However, any modifications to the contract would typically require mutual agreement between the parties and formal amendments to the PPA.
