Line Up

This is a highly practical, analytical and commercially focused programme that goes beyond the theory of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

Rather than simply reviewing contract clauses, the course demonstrates how PPA terms translate into commercial, financial and investment consequences. Participants will work through real PPA provisions, industry case studies and completed financial models to understand how different contract structures allocate risk and affect project economics, financing and investor returns.

Key features include:

• Real PPA Contracts & Case Studies – Analyse actual PPA provisions and risk allocations.
• Financial Models that Bring PPA Terms to Life – Assess how PPA terms affect financing, project returns and bid economics.
• Risk Allocation from a Commercial Perspective – Explore how key project risks are allocated among stakeholders.
• Conventional & Renewable Energy PPAs – Understand traditional, renewable energy and Corporate PPA structures.
• From PPA Economics to Corporate PPAs – Examine how market prices, resource risk, basis risk and settlement structures influence Corporate PPAs.
• A Unique Integrated Perspective – Connect PPA structure, electricity economics, project finance and investment returns.

Participants will also gain access to a range of practical resources, including financial models, contract examples, databases, Excel utilities and energy and finance references.

This programme is designed for professionals involved in the development, structuring, negotiation, financing, evaluation or regulation of power projects and PPAs, including

• Corporate and industrial energy buyers

• Project developers and sponsors
• Energy and infrastructure investors
• Bankers and financial institutions
• Financial modellers and analysts
• Legal and contract professionals
• Government and regulatory officials
• Energy and commercial managers

Power Purchase Agreements sit at the intersection of contract structure, electricity economics, risk allocation, project finance and investment returns.

This intensive programme provides a practical framework for analysing PPAs, from traditional utility/off-taker agreements to renewable energy and Corporate PPAs.

Participants will examine how PPA provisions allocate risks among off-takers, developers, investors, lenders and contractors, and how they interact with EPC, O&M and financing arrangements.

The programme also explores renewable energy economics, merchant price exposure, forward and spot markets, resource risk, basis risk and shape risk.

Real PPA contracts and completed financial models demonstrate how different structures affect project economics, financing and investor returns.

By the end of the programme, participants will be better equipped to read, analyse and evaluate PPA structures from contractual and financial perspectives.
