Application Tips and Tricks – Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) Rates

The Program Administrator publishes Tips and Tricks to help support stakeholders in avoiding project applications from resulting in a Need Info request and delaying their review and approval. 

  • Avoid application delays by confirming Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) rates are below ¢50/kWh on Disclosure Forms. Inaccurate entries may result in a Need Info request that will delay application review. 
    • Disclosure Form rates are formatted as dollars but should be entered as cents per kilowatt hour.  
      • Example: Enter rates as $0.10 kWh, indicating the customer will pay 10 cents per kilowatt hour. 
    • Ensure accuracy in the ‘PPA Information and Costs’ section, which outlines what the customer will pay for the electricity from the solar project. 
    • Complete this section carefully, as it directly affects compliance and application approval. 
    • Note: This requirement applies only to PPA projects, not for customer owned projects.
