Power purchase agreements are a vital tool in the realm of renewable energy procurement, they enable businesses to secure long-term, cost-effective, and sustainable energy solutions at an agreed upon rate. PPAs are crucial for business looking to embrace clean energy.
At its simplest a PPA means we provide our clients with all the benefits of a free, fully maintained solar solution. You preserve your capital, but still get all the advantages of switching to solar. We own the system, you take ownership of its benefits. You buy the discounted solar energy from us (instead of more expensive grid energy) translating to immediate savings for your school, sectional title, farm, or business.
Our PPA clients often remark how much they enjoy the benefits of solar energy without the responsibility ownership entails. We fund, maintain and insure the system. Energy savings and preserved capital means more freedom to achieve your goals and growth potential.
A Power Purchase Agreements is a contractual agreement between a renewable energy developer and an end-user, wherein the developer agrees to fund, build, own and operate a renewable energy facility, and the end-user agrees to purchase the electricity generated by that facility for a specified period, often ranging from 10 to 25 years.
PPAs typically involve the developer and the end-user. The developer provides financing and designs the renewable energy solutions. The electricity generated through the renewable energy solutions is then sold to the end-user based on the PPA at an agreed-upon tariff. The applicable tariff is not only lower than Eskom’s tariff, but future tariff increases are guaranteed to be lower than those of Eskom. The end-user benefits from stable electricity prices over the contract term.
PPAs offer a fixed, often lower electricity rates compared to a national energy provider, providing cost predictability and potential long-term savings.
By sourcing the development and operation of renewable energy projects to experienced developers, buyers can mitigate risks associated with project development, operation and maintenance.
PPAs enable businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and demonstrate environmental leaderships by sourcing electricity from renewable sources, contributing to sustainability goals and mitigating climate change.
PPAs typically span several years, fostering a long-term commitment to renewable energy procurement and enabling businesses to contribute to a cleaner energy future.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) offer businesses a unique opportunity to embrace renewable energy, drive cost savings and demonstrate environmental stewardship. By obtaining PPAs, businesses can secure stable sustainable electricity sources while contributing to the global effort to combat climate change. Additionally, PPAs empower business of all sizes to access clean energy solutions, regardless of their location or resources contracts. PPAs can transform your energy strategy and drive long term value.
We don’t cap your sustainability goals with the constraints of conventional financing options; rather, we work with you, partnering to customise a solution that makes sense for your specific needs.
After listening and learning more about what you need, our engineering and finance team will structure a funding solution to maximise energy savings for you. We like to think creatively: often this means customised funding solutions where generators, smart technology, and energy management products are incorporated to tailor the solution to complex and unique utility needs.
We undertake a thorough analysis of your energy consumption and needs before suggesting a funding solution.
We customise and structure financing to enable maximum savings for you.
Grid-tied solar systems operate alongside your existing grid connection. During day-light hours the solar system provides supplementary power at markedly reduced costs.
Fuel saver solar systems operate alongside your current diesel generator in weak grid conditions; resulting in a significantly reduced consumption of costly fuel.
Our hybrid solutions are formulated according to your unique needs. This may entail a solar energy system with enough battery storage capacity to eliminate load-shedding.
Our engineering and technical team carefully assess prospective clients’ exact energy needs. We then find the best installer—this is in our best interest too, as we take on the risk of insuring and maintaining the solar system—and construct a bespoke funding solution to ensure maximum savings.
We fund a solution according to the unique needs of our clients. Most want all the benefits of renewable energy without the hassle of owning the system. Many want funding that supports full independence from unreliable grid energy; our funding solutions are creative enough to cover clients’ most ambitious sustainability goals, including going off-grid
