A bit of context… • Policy, legislative, regulatory environment • Upstream (fuel), Gx, downstream (Tx, Dx, Retail) • Supply and demand forecasts • Baseload, mid-merit, peaking • Tariff • Willing to pay (Buyer) • Willing to sell (IPP) • Technology • Location • Understand Buyer/Seller needs

Introduction to Power Purchase Agreements
• Agreement for sale and purchase of power (*) • Buyer or Off-Taker (Utility, Industrial Consumer) • Seller (Independent Power Producer, IPP) • Buyer primary roles • Take (reliable) energy • Make payment • Seller primary role • Make available capacity (MW) and energy (MWh) • Develop, fund, build, operate, maintain and decommission
(*) + Lender

Technical Inputs • Specifications, testing and commissioning • Capacity, energy, availability (performance) • Tariff structure, grid connection and metering • Dispatch, O&M considerations • Integration with other project agreements
Financial • Term, currency, indexation, local content / participation • Tariff calculation, commercial damages Legal • Termination / transfer, warranties, remedies on default,
environmental (eg. carbon liabilities)

Configurations / options
Technical considerations
Config / Option Advantages / Applications Disadvantages Open Cycle (OC) • Peaking / mid-merit
• Low specific capex • Quick to market • Operationally flexible
• Lower efficiency
Combined Cycle (CC)
• Baseload / mid-merit • Efficient use of gas • Lower $/MWh (high C.F.)
• Longer to market • Longer start & ramping times
Options (power, flexibility)
• GT Power Augmentation • OC/CC selection (diverter valve and bypass stack) • Supplementary firing, fresh air firing • “Dual Fuel” (eg. Diesel back-up) • Ancillary services
