Conceptual design of offsite PPAs
Planning security for energy producers and consumers
- Conception & mediation
- Balancing group management & HKN management
- Residual, balancing & surplus quantity management
Through the Conceptual design of offsite PPAs companies that do not have their own or sufficient renewable energy sources, still achieve their sustainability goals. Such long-term electricity supply contracts between producers and consumers make it possible to purchase CO₂-neutral energy directly from remote sources and offer both parties several advantages. PPAs are not only mostly Cheaper than contracts with third-party providersbut guarantee Stable prices for years to come, which in times of rapidly rising energy costs is a solid Planning security offers. CUBE CONCEPTS' specialized partner network makes it easy to create and implement concepts.
Aspects of the conceptual design of offsite PPAs
When designing offsite PPAs, the first step is to Potential energy producers and consumers identified. CUBE CONCEPTS can not only rely on its own clients, but also on the close exchange with the national partner network. This is how corresponding contractual partners for almost every PPA project. As soon as the mediation has been completed, the transparent and fair design of the offsite PPA contract begins. Aspects such as the contract structure and term, the long-term electricity price, the electricity supply modalities, legal framework conditions or the monitoring of services including risk distribution are taken into account.
Economic efficiency is the focus for both sides
The central point in the conceptual design of offsite PPAs is the Analysis of the financial impact for the producer and the consumer. This includes the assessment of potential Cost savings compared to conventional electricity procurement methods as well as additional costs that may arise in connection with the expansion of the transmission and distribution infrastructure or grid integration. Decisive factors here are a sensible design of the balancing group and the Energy avoidance quantities and an effective HKN Management. In addition, the applicable legal and regulatory framework conditions are taken into account, including approval procedures or network access conditions. The monitoring and reporting of services are also directly included in the design of offsite PPAs.
Overview of services for the conceptual design of offsite PPAs:
- Identification of suitable power generation plants for renewable energies and electricity consumers as well as brokering
- Model calculations of the expected residual, balancing and surplus volumes and development of a corresponding schedule
- Conception of balancing group management between different parties including the HKN management
- Support during contract negotiations up to the signing and implementation of the offsite PPA contracts, including monitoring and balancing group management throughout the entire term.
