How do Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) work?CollapseVirtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) are long-term contracts between a renewable electricity generator and a company, where the company agrees to pay a fixed price for the electricity produced by the generator, and the generator agrees to sell the electricity to the wholesale market on behalf of the company. The company receives the EACs associated with electricity generation, and the difference between the fixed price and the market price is settled financially between the parties. VPPAs allow companies to support new renewable electricity projects and hedge against future price volatility, without taking physical delivery of the electricity.
-
What are Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)?CollapseEnergy Attribute Certificates (EACs) are instruments that certify one megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generation. EACs can be traded separately from physical electricity, allowing consumers to claim the use of renewable electricity regardless of their location or grid connection. EACs are also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Guarantees of Origin (GOs), or International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), depending on the region and market.
