Power Purchase Agreements
Power Purchase Agreements for Australian Businesses – Agile Energy Solar Without the Upfront Cost
What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have become essential tools in the shift to sustainable energy, especially in renewable energy. It is a long-term agreement between your business and Agile Energy, where we install and maintain a solar and optionally battery system on your premises at no upfront cost.
Results? It makes solar power a financially feasible alternative for a wider range of entities by allowing businesses and organisations to benefit from clean and sustainable energy sources without having to worry about ownership. You pay for the electricity the system generates, typically at a lower fixed rate than grid prices, locking in savings for 5 - 20 years.
How Power Purchase Agreements Work?
Our physical PPAs come in two different options, both sharing a set amount of electricity that is delivered and sold under the PPA. The method of supplying electricity is the only distinction.
On-site PPA
Electricity is supplied directly from a generating facility at or close to the customer's location, typically behind the meter, under an on-site Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). It requires installing solar panels and, optionally, batteries on your premises, directly supplying your site with clean energy. All our on-site PPAs are considered corporate PPAs because the electricity balances business demand.
Offsite PPA
A direct physical supply of power between a nearby user and the plant is not what off-site PPAs are. It is simply a contract to buy a specific amount of power as specified under the PPA. The producer uses the public grid to distribute the electricity to the user, as opposed to on-site PPAs. Your business purchases renewable energy from a solar farm via the grid.

Integrate Virtual Power Plants (VPP): Turning Your Battery into a Revenue Stream
Agile Energy offers VPP-ready Power Purchase Agreements. Participating in a Virtual Power Plant enables the grid to draw power from your battery during periods of high demand. This means if your PPA includes battery storage, we can integrate it into a Virtual Power Plant network at no cost to you.
Why this matters?
Lower PPA Energy Rates:
Earnings from Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) can be shared with you, helping cut your fixed energy price per kWh.
Shared Revenue Model:
Attach your power to a dollar sum! Receive additional revenue through VPP market payments; no system ownership is required.
Energy Security + Profit:
Use stored power for backup during outages while selling surplus energy back to the grid.
Future-Proof Contracts:
The VPP can open up new revenue streams from developing grid services as the energy market shifts.
Leverage the two most important factors in generating actual earnings from your virtual power plant: scale and frequency. Partner with Agile Energy to switch to sustainability while bringing in more money for business!
