Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are used for energy projects where: A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) secures cash flow for a build-own transfer (BOT) or an independent power plant concession (IPP) project. This is between the “buyer” buyer (often a state electricity supplier) and a private electricity producer. The PPA described here is not suitable for electricity sold on world spot markets (see Deregulated Electricity Markets below). This summary focuses on a baseload thermal power plant (the problems would be slightly different for mid-range thermal or hydroelectric plants or peaks). Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) prepared by Pacificorp for Large Power Plants (pdf) – Draft power purchase agreement developed by Pacificorp for power plants with a net capacity greater than 1000 kilowatts – relatively short contract. Designed in the context of the U.S. regulatory structure. For a more detailed analysis of the problems associated with PPAs of this type, see the IFC Guide to Power Purchase Agreements (1996) in Annex 2 (page 160) of the World Bank Concession Toolkit (pdf). Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and Implementation Agreement prepared for the Private Power and Infrastructure Board of Pakistan by an international law firm (published in 2006) – Standard Power Purchase Agreement and Fossil Fuel Power Plant Implementation Agreement developed by an international law firm for the Private Power and Infrastructure Board of Pakistan, as well as a model tariff plan for PPAs and the guideline that defines the general provisions Framework that led to the creation of the three standard documents Policy 2002 (PDF). Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – Abridged contract developed for small electricity projects in Namibia Standard short-form power purchase agreement developed for small electricity projects in Namibia.
This is part of a number of documents, including a fuel supply contract, which can be found on the Namibian Electricity Control Board. Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for temporary, mobile or emergency short-term power supply Short-term, temporary or emergency power purchase agreement for the purchase of electricity from a mobile system (on runners). Prepared by an international law firm for a small rural energy project in Africa, accompanied by an implementation agreement. Draft Long-Term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) prepared by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission of India (CERC) (for projects where location and fuel are specified) (pdf) – Draft Power Purchase Agreement developed by CERC for the Indian IPP market – intended for long-term agreements (more than 7 years) for use in the construction of power plants where location or fuel is not specified. The attached link is the draft call for tenders – for the PPA project, go to page 70. The above-mentioned PPAs should be distinguished from power purchase agreements in a deregulated electricity market, where agreements are generally power purchase agreements with a private generator where the power plant already exists or where the plant is built on the initiative of the private generator. For examples of this type of PPA, click on the following sample links: Edison Electric Institute Master Power Purchase & Sale Agreement (PDF) (4/25/2000) and Tri-State PPA. Tanzania – Abbreviated and relatively simplified power purchase agreements for small power producers in Tanzania – Standardized PPAs for main grid connection and standardized PPAs for isolated mini-grid connection, as well as standardized pricing methods for each case and detailed rate calculations, all of which can be found on the EWURA website.

French indicative contracts of obligation to purchase electricity for small installations / renewable energy sources under the Law of 2000 (Law No. 2000-108 of 10 February 2000) and the related Decree (Decree No. 2000-877 of 7 September 2000) and the Decree of 2001 (Decree No. 2001-410 of 10 May 2001) setting the conditions under which electricity networks and distributors must purchase electricity from small producers and wind power – Order of the 8 June 2001 laying down the conditions for the purchase of electricity produced by installations using wind mechanical energy as referred to in Article 2 (2o) of Decree No 2000-1196 of 6 December 2000. Created by an international law firm for the World Bank as an overview of the regulations often found in power purchase agreements in international private power plants. Below are examples of this type of PPA. The PPAs in the sample were divided into those that are more relevant for small energy and rural projects and the more complex PPAs that are relevant for large projects in developing countries. An Analysis of Independent Energy Projects in Africa: Understanding Development and Investment Outcomes (PDF) Power Africa looks forward to continuing to engage the power project community with ways to streamline the PPA negotiation process and broaden consensus on how best to structure these complex agreements. CLDP and ALSF continue to work together to support this mission, both by improving access to the PPA Manual (it is currently being translated into French) and by developing additional reference manuals on other complex legal issues (such as credit enhancement and fuel/steam supply agreements). The hope is that by better understanding what constitutes a successful APP, we can move faster towards the goal of feeding millions of sub-Saharan Africans in the years to come. The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for small rural energy projects is part of a series of documents prepared by an international law firm for use in small rural energy projects.
Documents prepared for the Southeast Asian country. Using a rapid design method, the “Book Sprint”, the expert group was able to compile and publish a manual entitled “Understanding Power Purchase Agreements” in just five days. The intensity of the design process reflected in many ways the balanced approach required for a successful PPA negotiation, and the end result was a manual that gives the reader a complete understanding of these complex contracts. The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is the central contract for any independent power generation project, particularly in emerging markets. This manual explains the context of the PPA and sets out the main considerations for the preparation and negotiation of the PPA. Written by practitioners involved in the development of energy projects around the world for decades, it is intended to provide advice to governments, utilities, investors and other interested stakeholders to understand: Kenya – Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – Simplified Agreement for Kenya Short form of a relatively simplified power purchase agreement approved by the Kenya Electricity Regulatory Board for use in “hydroelectricity, geothermal or gas-fired power generation facilities. He expects both capacity and energy costs. The seller sells all the net electrical power of the system to the buyer. The Energy Regulatory Commission also provides a link to a PPA template for large renewable energy producers over 10 MW and an PPA for small renewable energy projects under 10 MW on its renewable energy portal.
In the energy sector, the need for balanced and clear contracts is particularly urgent, where agreements can cover decades of projects involving multiple developers, financiers and buyers. As part of Power Africa`s focus on streamlining negotiations on energy projects, U.S. government officials and our key private sector partners have recognized the need to create a common understanding of the key elements of balanced project contracts. Power Africa focused on the most important project contract, the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), and set out to gather ideas from all parties in the negotiation process to reach consensus on what constitutes a balanced and bankable agreement. The PPA project, as it became known, was developed through a partnership between the U.S. Department of Commerce`s Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) and the African Legal Support Mechanism (ALSF). The effort brought together experts from the public and private sectors to identify key risks in PPAs and design best practices to share those risks between developers, banks and host governments. English Standard Power Purchase Agreements (PPA): Small Plants/Renewable Energy Sources Note: “Understanding Power Purchase Agreements” is published under an open source Creative Commons license and can be downloaded here in PDF and ePub format: go.usa.gov/FBzH example of power purchase agreements: Fossil fuel power plants Based on the myriad of considerations and consequences included in each of the contracts It was decided that the CLDP and ALSF should not create another standard PPA, but should create a reference manual that explains each term of the contract in detail. .
