Contract Type FiledApril 24th, 2023In a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), a developer or independent financier pays for and installs renewable energy equipment on the property of an end-‐user. The property owner then buys the electricity produced by the renewable energy at some pre-‐determined rate (either fixed or variable) for a set amount of time (typically between 10 and 20 years).
