More and more companies, industries or even individuals are deciding to install solar panels on the roofs of their buildings to supply themselves with clean energy, produced in a sustainable and autonomous way, managed through a PPA contract. With solar energy booming due to its key role in the energy transition, in addition to the economic advantages it brings and the potential that this type of energy has in Spain thanks to our privileged geolocation (in Spain we have approximately 2,500 hours of sunshine per year), starting to self-supply solar energy through a PPA is an increasingly attractive option.
What does self-consumption with a PPA model consist of?
Self-consumption with PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a type of generation and consumption of clean energy that facilitates its use in large buildings or facilities, without having to make an economic investment by the customer. This option is especially interesting for industries or large companies with high energy consumption. Through the PPA contract, the energy trading company guarantees economic savings and 100% renewable energy consumption.
How does self-consumption work with PPA Onsite?
The first step is to analyze the client's energy consumption. Ekhi will carry out the installation of solar panels on the roof or on a nearby land, to start producing solar energy and convert it into electricity, helping the client to save energy in solar hours. In addition to the installation, we will be in charge of the investment and maintenance for the duration of the contract. The standard formula for this type of contract is based on three principles; the energy consumed, the duration of the contract and the agreed price per MWh (always lower than the price of energy from the conventional electricity grid).
What are the benefits of self-consumption with PPA Onsite?
Since it is an on-site generation, the regulated and economic energy costs that would result from dependence on the conventional power grid are reduced. And, by not having to make an investment, companies benefit greatly in terms of their costs.
On the other hand, since the price is fixed in a long-term contract (between 10 and 25 years), the customer does not have to worry about the fluctuation of energy prices in the market. In other words, this model is a stabilizer that favors both the producer and the consumer.
In terms of environmental benefits and care for the environment, the decision to opt for a self-consumption option with PPA contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and reduces the carbon footprint significantly, in turn enhancing our customers' reputation for their commitment to sustainability.
In short, self-consumption with PPA on rooftops and land is an efficient and cost-effective solution for harnessing solar energy and contributing to a sustainable future. This innovative model allows the use of solar energy without having to make an investment and offers economic, operational and environmental benefits. In addition, the installation of solar panels is an attractive option for organizations or individuals who wish to move towards a more sustainable future and increase their profitability.
