What is a Solar PPA model?
A Solar PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a service that allows a customer to install a solar system on their property without any upfront costs. Under this model, EDP installs the solar system on the customer’s property and owns and maintains the solar system, while the customer agrees to purchase the electricity generated by the solar system at a fixed price for a set period of time. It is also known as a solar leasing agreement.
What is a Solar VPPA model?
A Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) is a flexible alternative to a traditional PPA, ideal for businesses that want to switch to renewable energy but lack the physical roof or ground space for an on-site installation.
Under this model, the solar system is not installed on your property. Instead, EDP develops, owns, and maintains a large-scale solar project off-site. Your business enters into a financial agreement to support the project at a fixed price. In return, you receive the associated Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), allowing you to meet your corporate sustainability targets and secure long-term price stability without altering your existing facility or utility connections.
What are the benefits of a Solar PPA model?
The benefits of a Solar PPA model include: no upfront costs, lower electricity bills, reduced carbon footprint, long-term cost savings, fixed energy costs, and a hedge against rising electricity prices.
What are the benefits of a Solar VPPA model?
The benefits of a Solar VPPA model include: no physical space or roof requirements, zero on-site installation or maintenance, the ability to aggregate energy load across multiple regional facilities, a financial hedge against volatile wholesale electricity markets, and the acquisition of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to meet corporate sustainability goals.
How long does a Solar PPA agreement last?
A typical Solar PPA agreement range between 10-25 years, depending on the terms of the agreement.
Who owns the solar panels under a Solar PPA model?
EDP owns the solar panels under a Solar PPA, as EDP is responsible for installing, operating and maintaining the respective solar system during the tenure of the Solar PPA.
Who is eligible for a Solar PPA model?
Any customer with a suitable roof or ground space for solar panel installations can be eligible for a solar PPA model. However, the specific requirements and eligibility criteria may vary depending on site conditions and local regulations.
What happens at the end of a Solar PPA agreement?
Depending on the terms of the agreement, at the end of a Solar PPA, the customer has the option to renew the agreement, remove the solar system or transfer the ownership of the solar system subject to mutually agreed terms.
What is the fixed price of a Solar PPA?
The fixed price of a Solar PPA varies depending on the size of the solar installation, the terms of the agreement, and the location of the customer.
Do I need to apply for any licenses or permits?
EDP will submit all necessary applications on behalf of the client.
What happens if the solar panels do not produce enough electricity?
EDP is responsible for operating and maintaining the solar panels and ensuring the performance of the system. If the solar panels are underperforming, the solar company may be required to take further maintenance actions.
Who does the maintenances of the Solar PV?
EDP will deploy a complete O&M regimen to maintain the solar PV system.
Is a Solar PPA the appropriate model for me?
Whether a solar PPA model is the right model for you depends on your specific situation, including your energy needs, location, and financial situation. It is recommended to consult with EDP to determine if a Solar PPA model is the best option for you. In alternative, a turn-key can be also considered depending.
Will the solar PV system damage my roof?
EDP will advise only to install solar PV on roofs that can withstand the load of the system.
What are RECs?
A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is a recognized market instrument that provides verifiable proof that your business is powered by renewable energy.
Because electricity from both renewable and conventional sources is indistinguishable once fed into the shared power grid, it is impossible to track the physical delivery of clean energy directly to your facility. RECs bridge this gap. For every megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean energy generated and added to the grid - such as through a Solar PPA or VPPA - one REC is issued.
By acquiring and retiring these certificates, your organization secures the exclusive rights to the environmental attributes of that power. This allows your business to credibly claim the use of green energy, reduce Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, and fulfill corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting requirements.
