FPPAs, which are usually 10 to 20 year agreements, enable the renewable electricity generator to receive a known price for its sales of electricity into the wholesale market over the term of the agreement since the buyer is contractually responsible for any difference between the wholesale price and the FPPA price (i.e. strike price). If the wholesale price is below the strike price, the buyer pays the renewable energy generator the difference. Conversely, if the wholesale price is above the strike price, the renewable energy generator pays the buyer the difference. In this way, the FPPA acts as a hedge against electricity price volatility for the buyer since the FPPA credit/debit the buyer receives is correlated to electricity market prices. The renewable energy certificates generated by the renewable energy generator are usually contractually conveyed to the buyer. An FPPA does not include the physical delivery of electricity to the buyer, and therefore the buyer can be located in a different power market than the renewable energy generator, including being located in a regulated electricity market."},null,null,{"$f":"LEN(B3)","v":1359}]

["Category","Definition"]
["Onsite Self Supply","Onsite Self Supply refers to green power use by a consumer whereby the consumer owns the renewable electricity generator and is responsible for its maintenance and operation. The renewable electricity generator is directly connected at the point of use."]
["Onsite Power Purchase Agreement","An Onsite Power Purchase Agreement is a financial arrangement in which a third-party developer owns, operates, and maintains the renewable electricity generation system, and a host consumer agrees to site the system on its property and purchases the system's electric output from the developer for a predetermined period. This financial arrangement allows the host consumer to receive stable and often low-cost electricity, while the developer or another party acquires valuable financial benefits, such as tax credits and income generated from the sale of electricity. "]
["Offsite Physical Power Purchase Agreement","An Offsite Physical PPA (PPPA) for renewable electricity is a contract for the purchase of grid-delivered power and associated RECs from a specific offsite renewable energy generator (the seller) to a purchaser of renewable electricity (the buyer). PPPAs, which are usually 10 to 20 year agreements, define all of the commercial terms for the sale of renewable electricity between the two parties, including when the project will begin commercial operation, schedule for delivery of electricity, penalties for under delivery, payment terms, and termination. PPPAs for non-utility consumers are generally only allowed in competitive electricity markets and the renewable energy generator and customers must be located in the same power market to allow for physical delivery of electricity."]
["Offsite Financial Power Purchase Agreement","An Offsite Financial Power Purchase Agreement (FPPA), also known as a synthetic power purchase agreement or a contract for differences, is a financial arrangement between a renewable energy generator (the seller) and a consumer (the buyer). FPPAs, which are usually 10 to 20 year agreements, enable the renewable electricity generator to receive a known price for its sales of electricity into the wholesale market over the term of the agreement since the buyer is contractually responsible for any difference between the wholesale price and the FPPA price (i.e. strike price). If the wholesale price is below the strike price, the buyer pays the renewable energy generator the difference. Conversely, if the wholesale price is above the strike price, the renewable energy generator pays the buyer the difference. In this way, the FPPA acts as a hedge against electricity price volatility for the buyer since the FPPA credit/debit the buyer receives is correlated to electricity market prices. The renewable energy certificates generated by the renewable energy generator are usually contractually conveyed to the buyer. An FPPA does not include the physical delivery of electricity to the buyer, and therefore the buyer can be located in a different power market than the renewable energy generator, including being located in a regulated electricity market."]
["Community Solar","Also referred to as shared renewables, community solar is an emerging model allowing multiple customers to buy, lease, or subscribe to a portion of a shared renewable electricity system that is located away from their home or business. The model is especially appealing to customers that rent, that do not have sufficient onsite renewable resource, or that are otherwise unable or unwilling to install renewables on their residences or commercial buildings. Shared renewables can refer to both ‘community-owned’ projects as well as third party-owned renewable electricity generators whose electricity is shared with multiple customers."]
["Utility Green Tariff ","Optional programs offered by utilities in traditionally regulated markets and approved by state public utility commissions (PUCs) that allow eligible customers to buy bundled renewable electricity from a specific project through a special utility tariff rate. Utility Green Tariffs typically require the customer to enter a long-term contract. As of February 2018, 21 green tariffs in 15 states have been proposed or approved. The states are Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming."]
["Utility Green Power Product","Utility Green Power Products refer to an optional utility service that allows customers to procure bundled electricity and RECs from their utility or default service provider. Participating customers usually pay a per-kilowatt-hour premium through an additional line item on their monthly electric utility bill for their renewable electricity."]
["Competitive Green Power Product","Competitive Green Power Products refer to an optional product offering that allows customers in competitive retail electricity markets to procure bundled electricity and RECs from a competitive electricity supplier, who is not their default utility supplier. Participating customers usually pay a per-kilowatt-hour premium on their monthly electric bills for the renewable electricity."]
["Renewable Energy Certificates","Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradeable, market-based instruments that represent the legal property rights to the “renewable-ness” (i.e. environmental attributes) of renewable electricity generation. Since RECs are purchased independently of electricity, they are available nationally, and their procurement by customers is not limited by the location of the consumer or by individual state policies."]

[null,"Non-profit","As a non-profit organization, owning and operating your own onsite self-generation may not be as economically attractive as contracting for generation (i.e., through a PPA), due to your organization's inability to take advantage of available tax incentives.   ","As a non-profit organization, an onsite power purchase agreement can be an attractive financing option. Under this financing option, a 3rd party develops, owns, and operates an onsite renewable energy project at an electricity customer's facility, who in turn agrees to buy the project's power at a known or fixed cost over the term of the PPA contract. The 3rd party project developer pays the upfront capital investment cost of the project, and in exchange receives any available incentives and tax benefits, as well as the revenue from the sale of the project's electricity to the project offtaker (e.g., your organization). The project's offtaker/buyer can also include as part of the PPA contract the option to buy the power's associated environmental attributes (e.g., renewable energy certificates) if the electricity buyer wishes to use \"renewable\" electricity.","Non-profits may not benefit from the added complexity, cost, or value proposition that a \"physical\" or \"direct\" power purchase agreement (PPA) provides. A physical PPA is similar to other 3rd party arrangements in that the offsite project is developed, owned, and operated by a 3rd party, and the electricity from the project is bought by an organization through the PPA contract. Under this contract arrangement, the 3rd party project owner takes advantage of available incentives and tax credits that otherwise would not be available to a nonprofit. A physical or direct PPA can also include the purchase of the project's environmental attributes (e.g., RECs) so that the buyer can claim to be using renewable electricity. A physical PPA allows an organization to engage directly with a specific project and involves contracting for not only the price for the electricity itself, but also the costs for the physical delivery of the power between the generator and the buyer, as well as the option for other system charges such as capacity firming, etc. This contract approach also requires that the buyer and the generator be located in the same grid region (e.g., ISO / RTO). Many non-profits may not have the necessary electricity load and power reliability profile to warrant the extra complexity and cost of entering into a physical PPA. This arrangement can be viewed as a generator-to-load type of contract, which may not be appealing to customers with multiple load centers in different grid regions.","Non-profits may be able to benefit from entering into a financial power purchase agreement (FPPA) with an offsite project if they can meet the minimum electricity offtake and credit worthiness requirements. Unlike a physical power purchase agreement, an FPPA is a financial contract for power, meaning that the nonprofit offtaker serves as a counter party to the project output, but does not take physical title or ownership of the project's power or receive physical delivery of the power. FPPAs are available to any organization, regardless of their state's retail market situation where they operate (e.g., consume electricity). However, a requirement of an FPPA is that the renewable energy project itself must be located in a deregulated wholesale energy market that allows the project to sell its power into the wholesale spot market. An FPPA is similar to other 3rd party arrangements in that the project is developed, owned, and operated by a 3rd party, however, under an FPPA the nonprofit offtaker agrees to serve as a counter party to the sale of the project's electricity output. That is, the nonprofit agrees to an FPPA settlement price in the delivery of the project's energy to a particular point on the grid (a wholesale market hub). The project owner generates and liquidates the project's electricity at the wholesale market price and then settles with the FPPA offtaker at a fixed settlement price defined in the FPPA contract. If the sale of electricity into the wholesale market is less than the agreed upon FPPA settlement price, then the offtaker must pay the project owner the difference in price, and if the sales price is greater than the FPPA settlement price, the project owner must pay the offtaker. The FPPA offtaker can also include a separate contract for the associated environmental attributes (e.g., RECs) from the renewable project. In this way, the FPPA offtaker can associate the RECs with their electricity consumption at their facility in order to substantiate their use of renewable electricity.","Non-profits can benefit from entering into a shared renewable or community solar project. Shared renewable energy arrangements allow several energy customers to share the benefits of one local renewable energy power plant. The shared renewables project pools the investments from multiple members of a community and provides power and/or financial benefits in return. There are several reasons why shared renewables might be preferred for non-profit organizations and even corporations. Organizations that are renting their facility space may be prohibited from installing solar on the property, and shared renewables addresses this issue. Many organizations also may not have a feasible site at their facility that allows them to install a renewable project (i.e., roof may be too shaded or is structurally challenged). Last, the capital investment cost for a smaller, individual renewable project may not have the scale to deliver a price for the power to be competitive against the cost of incumbent electricity supply. By aggregating shared renewable demand, one can increase the size of the renewable project and lower the costs for all customers/offtakers involved. There are several different state policy approaches that allow for shared renewables to exist in certain states' electricity markets. It is recommended that you investigate the options available to you in your state or utility service territory.","Any organization can take advantage of a utility green tariff if it is available and they meet the program's eligibility requirements. A green tariff is a utility program that allows customers to source up to 100 percent of their electricity from renewable sources located on their local grid. Under a green tariff, utilities supply renewable power from projects either owned by the utility or contracted with independent power producers (IPPs) in the local grid or utility region.","Not Applicable","Not Applicable","Not Applicable"]

Under a physical PPA, the buyer pays a fixed price for the electricity, which includes the purchase price for the power, as well as charges for moving the power across the transmission and distribution system, and other system charges such as capacity firming, etc. Physical PPAs do come with some extra complexity, as a result of taking ownership of the power and the costs of its transmission from the generator to the point of load. Most physical PPAs are seen in states with competitive retail electricity markets, however, in some instances, a physical PPA can also be done in a traditionally regulated market. A physical PPA is similar to other 3rd party financing arrangements in that the project is developed, owned, and operated by a 3rd party, and the electricity from the project is bought by an electricity consumer by way of the PPA contract.

The physical PPA can also include the purchase of the project's environmental attributes (e.g., RECs), so that the buyer can claim to be using renewable electricity. That said, most of the corporate engagements with large offsite renewable energy projects to date have been through a different type of contract vehicle called a Financial PPA.","Financial Power Purchase Agreements (FPPAs) are the financial arrangement of choice for many major corporations. FPPA contracts require a credit worthy counter party (e.g., corporate offtaker) and often the ability to offtake/buy a minimum amount of electricity from the project.
