Power Management and Power Purchase Agreements

• Enhancing Sustainability Goals – Support your environmental commitments and progress toward net-zero emissions.
• Financial Stability – Lock in energy prices for up to 15 years, reducing exposure to market fluctuations.
• Long-Term Cost Savings – PPAs typically offer lower rates than wholesale energy markets, leading to financial benefits over time.

• Competitive Advantage – Companies with strong green credentials often gain favor with consumers, partners, and clients.
• Investor and Stakeholder Confidence – Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability can enhance reputation and attract environmentally conscious investors.
• Innovation and Technological Advancement – Partnering with renewable energy providers supports the growth of emerging clean energy technologies.

Onsite PPAs involve directly supplying power from a generator to the consumer, maximizing efficiency and cost savings by avoiding third-party fees. These systems are installed within the consumer's premises, ensuring energy is generated and used in real-time based on actual demand.

Industry best practices recommend outsourcing PPA management to experienced third parties to oversee installation, operation, and maintenance. Onsite generation projects are often funded by the consumer and implemented through a turnkey partnership with a reliable provider. Two primary types of physical PPAs include:

• Direct Wire Connections – Energy is delivered straight from an onsite generation system to the consumer.
• Private Wire Agreements – Power is sourced from a nearby generation facility and transmitted through a dedicated connection.

In this arrangement, energy is not supplied directly from a generator to the user. Instead, the consumer agrees to purchase a specified volume of renewable power, which is delivered through the existing grid infrastructure. This option provides flexibility, allowing businesses to procure green energy even if generation assets are located elsewhere.

Corporate PPAs do not involve direct energy supply from a renewable source to the consumer. Instead, the energy generated is sold on the wholesale market, while the consumer accesses electricity through the grid.

Although subject to standard grid-related charges, financial PPAs still provide energy security and sustainability benefits.

Low Carbon has established PPAs with companies that are now ensuring a steady renewable energy supply, directly reducing their carbon footprint.
