We need to enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA). Which details are most important?

  • Pricing: Is it fixed or variable? Even if fixed, is it subject to change in law?
  • Termination: Is there a penalty for early cancellation, and if your supplier cancels, what is the default?
  • If the supply is tied to your property (e.g. rooftop solar), what recourse do you have if there is property damage during installation or years after the installation?

For more information or for advice in entering into a PPA, please contact Todd Chason, Doug Coats or Michael Powell..
