Aspects of PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)
The PPA should be signed before construction starts. Under a PPA, off-takers agree to buy power from the project company for a set period at a certain rate. The PPA is obviously the most important agreement to be negotiated for the project as it dictates the future revenues of the project, It is crucial that the PPA does not penalize the project company if the power supply is affected by low wind levels (cp. e.g. GTZ Wind Energy Vietnam).
