About the Course
Organizations entering PPA negotiations want outcomes they can defend in board papers, credit committees, and contract reviews. In this field, that means demonstrating contract bankability, pricing logic, settlement discipline, risk allocation discipline, and compliance with lender and offtaker requirements. A strong practitioner in Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) must be able to work with tariff structures, curtailment provisions, credit support, indexation clauses, and dispatch or volume risk using frameworks such as P50/P90 analysis, base-case project finance assumptions, and contract risk registers.
This Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) training turns scattered legal, financial, and commercial knowledge into a structured working system. You will practise building a PPA review checklist, mapping contract risk to counterparties, comparing fixed, indexed, and hybrid tariff structures, and drafting a negotiation position note for key terms such as tenor, delivery profile, and deemed generation. You will also be introduced to how PPA analysis supports project finance, renewable energy certificates, and storage-backed structures at an operational level, while practising hands-on review of real contract clauses, risk matrices, and pricing scenarios. This course teaches you how to assess a PPA, structure the commercial logic, and present a bankable recommendation so you can move from contract reading to contract decisioning.
PPAs are often negotiated under pressure from funding deadlines, procurement cycles, changing market rules, and technology complexity around solar, wind, battery storage, or hybrid portfolios. This course is designed for professionals who must deliver credible contract judgments even when project data is incomplete, stakeholder views differ, and legal, technical, and financial priorities compete for attention. It gives you a realistic method for analysing contract risk, documenting commercial trade-offs, and reporting a clear recommendation to internal decision-makers and external counterparties.

- Design a PPA risk allocation matrix for seller, buyer, and lender review.
- Build a negotiation checklist for tariff, tenor, indexation, and settlement provisions.
- Evaluate PPA terms against project finance bankability requirements and credit enhancements.
- Navigate stakeholder positions across legal, procurement, technical, and finance review cycles.
- Implement pricing review logic using tariff structures, indexation formulas, and volume assumptions.
- Synthesize contract findings into an executive PPA review memo with action points.
Requirements & Prerequisites
Participants should have working familiarity with energy project development, procurement, finance, legal review, or commercial contracting. Prior exposure to renewable power projects, project finance basics, or electricity market terminology will help you move faster through the exercises. No programming is required, but you should be comfortable reviewing contract clauses, spreadsheet-based pricing assumptions, and structured commercial documents.
The course is pitched at an advanced level and assumes you can already read commercial contracts and participate in cross-functional review discussions. The most useful preparation is to bring a sample term sheet, a redacted PPA clause set, or a contract review template from your own work environment.
