Solar PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) often refers to a long-term electricity supply agreement between two parties, usually between a power producer and a customer (an electricity consumer or trader). The PPA defines the conditions of the agreement, such as the amount of electricity to be supplied, negotiated prices, accounting, and penalties for non-compliance
Under a PPA, the buyer is typically a utility or a company that purchases the electricity to meet its customers’ needs. In the case of distributed generation involving a commercial PPA variant, the buyer may be the occupant of the building—a business, school, or government for example. Electricity traders may also enter into PPA with the Seller.
Depending on regulation and the market environment, different situations can arise in which PPAs are an advantageous form of financing or a stabilizing factor in long-term power delivery.

Operation and metering
Maintenance and operation of a generation project is the responsibility of the seller. This includes regular inspection and repair, if necessary, to ensure prudent practices. Liquidated damages will be applied if the seller fails to meet these circumstances. Typically, the seller is also responsible for installing and maintaining a meter to determine the quantity of output that will be sold. Under this circumstance, the seller must also provide real-time data at the request of the buyer, including atmospheric data relevant data for solar project.
Electricity rates are agreed upon as the basis for a PPA. Prices may be flat, escalate over time, or be negotiated in any other way as long as both parties agree to the negotiation.
What are the Advantages of Power Purchase Agreements?
The advantages of a Power Purchase Agreement include long-term price security, opportunities to finance investments in new power generation capacities, or the reduction of risks associated with electricity sales and purchases. In addition, a specific physical supply of electricity with certain regional characteristics and guarantees of origin can occur. Customers can use this opportunity to make their brand more sustainable and greener.
The open-end of the contract’s design also creates a great deal of leeway to reflect preferences of individual plant operators and electricity consumers. This also applies to pricing: PPAs can be signed at fixed prices, or can allow for greater participation in market risks and opportunities.
