PPA
Power Purchase Agreement
Solar energy as a service involves signing a PPA, which is a long-term power purchase agreement. This means that a company buys a certain amount of electricity from the electricity producer for an agreed price. PPAs allow for a quick and easy decision to purchase solar energy because the company does not have to make any investments of its own, and can instead purchase affordable energy at a fixed price for up to 20 years.
Stable and predictable electricity prices
A PPA contract guarantees a fixed and favorable electricity price by locking in a fixed price level for the purchased electricity for the duration of the contract. This eliminates the uncertainty of energy market fluctuations and gives the company a predictable cost structure for its electricity use for up to 20 years.
Positive brand value without investment costs
The benefits of a PPA contract are both economic and environmental. You can use information on the origin of the electricity you buy for marketing and branding purposes.
No impact on core business
You can concentrate on your business, through a PPA contract you outsource the production of your consumed electricity without affecting your daily operations.
Minimizing risks
Aurinkokarhu owns, finances and maintains the energy facility. Through a PPA agreement, your company minimizes risk by securing a stable and predictable energy cost over the contract period. With our trusted background in green energy, we guarantee the security of your energy supply.
Sustainable electricity production and use
PPAs are a sustainable option for both the electricity user and the electricity producer as they promote a shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly electricity use.
Promoting renewable energy
By signing a PPA agreement, companies support investments in renewable energy sources, thus demonstrating their commitment to sustainability.
