Power Purchase Agreement

A PPA allows the customer to receive stable and low-cost renewable electricity with no upfront cost.

What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is an arrangement in which GL Electrical will install, own, and operate an energy system on a customer’s property. The customer then purchases the system's electric output for a predetermined period, this would usually be between 5-15 years.


A PPA allows the customer to receive stable and low-cost renewable electricity with no upfront cost.


On-site solar PV generation can take the form of either a large-scale rooftop installation on a commercial or industrial (C&I) site, or a ground-mount installation on adjacent land.

Zero Upfront Costs

Solar is installed with no upfront capital investment by you.

Significant Savings

Your solar generated electricity is locked in at a lower rate from day one, reducing your exposure to rising energy costs.

No Headaches

The PPA provider looks after all operations, maintenance and insurance.

Accurate Sustainability Data

You will be able to accurately track, measure and report on your energy performance & sustainability.

System Upgrades Included

Traditional PPA's involve leasing the roof space, are aimed at larger systems and the energy is not always sold to the occupier of the building, but to other consumers perhaps who are supplied from the same substation or elsewhere through a sleeved or virtual PPA.

This means that the energy is being exported elsewhere in the grid that brings with it regulations from the distributor.

Our offering is to the SME market, and we need to ensure we are protected in the following key areas:

  • We will be leasing the system to the client rather than leasing their roof space - we need to ensure we can retrieve the system due to non-payment.
  • We will be selling all the energy back to the occupier, therefore there are no export issues to contend with.
  • We need to be able to novate the contract into the new owners name if the business is sold, if the new owners do not want the system then we need to be able to retrieve it.
