Power Purchase Agreement Case Study

These materials are designed to help federal managers and others learn how to use Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to easily and affordably procure renewable energy for their organizations.

U.S. Federal Government Goal: E.O. 13693 requires federal agencies to gradually increase their use of renewable energy until it accounts for 30 percent of total building electricity use by fiscal year 2025. While the Executive Order encourages agencies to maximize the use of onsite renewable energy generation, agencies have found that it can make more economic and technical sense to achieve those targets by utilizing financing models such as power purchase agreements (PPA).
