Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)

A Power Purchase Agreement, or PPAs, have been gaining popularity as Australian businesses look for security of supply, a smaller carbon footprint and more affordable electricity prices – but what are they and how can they help your business?

Want to achieve energy savings and a pathway to Net Zero Energy, but have the following concerns?

“I don’t want to allocate a budget for solar, I don’t own the building, I don’t want a long term contract, I don’t want any risk, I am not sure of what my energy future looks like, I want one bill, I want it to be easy.”

If your business wants to work towards being Net Zero but does not want to use capital, then this is the ideal solution to clean energy savings and a pathway to Net Zero Energy. Our new suite of Power Purchase Agreements will power your business with a variety of options and flexibility to achieve a cleaner and cheaper power! A win-win for both the supplier and the consumer.

What is a PPA?

Put simply, a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is the best way to achieve savings and renewable energy without using capital. Horan & Bird cover all the costs of the solar equipment and installation on your property. Though the solar panel system is located on your property, we have ownership of it and we’ll take care of all the necessary maintenance for you. Your business will receive stable and low-cost renewable electricity with no upfront cost.

Advantages of PPAs

Advantage 1: Rooftop solar electricity has the rather marvellous advantage of generating energy right where it is being consumed. 

Advantage 2: You don’t have to pay network charges, which typically make up 35% – 50% of grid-based electricity. 

Advantage 3: You don’t need to pay anything upfront and you don’t have to monitor or maintain the system. It’s basically GOING SOLAR AND PAYING LESS FOR ELECTRICITY. 

Advantage 4: We remove the headaches. No need to put in any work; extensively research providers or installers; and no need for a loan to pay for it, we take care of it all.

Advantage 5: You are still connected to the grid, so even if the sun isn’t shining, you can sit back and relax knowing that you will always have power PLUS the benefit of using cheaper solar power for much of the day.

The Bottom Line

This is a risk-free, 100% cash flow-positive investment. We will also maintain and monitor the solar energy system to make sure that it’s always in peak condition.

Is a PPA right for you?

When it comes down to it, whether or not a PPA is the right option for you depends on your preferences, financial and business goals. We will help design the right energy solution for your circumstances.
