A power purchase agreement lets a business or institution adopt solar in Raipur with no upfront cost. It is not for everyone.
Quick answer: a PPA suits those who cannot or will not spend capital; read tariff escalation, term, buy-out and maintenance carefully.
| Point | PPA | Capex |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | None | Full |
| Ownership | Developer | You |
| Long-term cost | Higher per unit | Lowest |
| Maintenance | Developer | You |
| Depreciation | Developer | You |
See solar for government and institutions.
Have your accountant and lawyer read the contract.
| Year | PPA cost per unit (assumed) | Capex effective cost per unit (assumed) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rs 4.5 | Rs 3.0 |
| 5 | Rs 4.9 | Rs 3.0 |
| 10 | Rs 5.4 | Rs 3.0 |
| 15 | Rs 6.0 | Rs 3.0 |
These numbers are illustrative: capex has a fixed cost spread over output, while a PPA tariff often escalates. Your contract will determine the real comparison.
