Green Squares Energy Power Purchase Agreements

Through investment and lending products, Green Squares Energy (GSE) is a solar electricity provider assisting Australian businesses achieve immediate and ongoing energy and emissions savings, and contribute to a smart, resilient and sustainable future

GSE’s funding is provided from a leading clean energy purposed Australian superannuation fund and we work with trusted solar installers to offer behind the meter / rooftop Power Purchase Agreement (PPAs) to commercial customers

GSE’s PPAs allow customers to purchase electricity from their roof or surrounding land at prices below conventional grid prices, and assist customers realise the most from the solar systems installed, insured and owned by us. Once the PPA term finishes (typically 10 years), the customer has a well-maintained system in their ownership.

How things work from the rooftop owner/ commercial customer’s perspective:

• GSE’s installer partners build a new solar system at the right size at zero upfront cost to the customer

• The solar electricity generated by the system is used by the customer instead of grid electricity

• The customer is charged by GSE at an agreed tariff (cents per kWh generated); GSE will bill monthly for the solar generation

• Any revenue from solar electricity exported to the grid is retained by the customer and delivered via its grid retailer feed-in-tariff and billing arrangements

• GSE looks after the solar system and take care of costs such as ongoing insurance and maintenance

• At the end of the fixed PPA term the customer can purchase the equipment at a pre-agreed price

Comparing to other finance:

• The PPA is a genuine service offering

• Instead of paying a fixed lease amount per month, the customer pays for the amount of energy generated by the solar equipment

• Because the contract term is a little longer than a lease or loan (our standard term is 10 years) the capital used to build the system is repaid over a longer period, and the economic case for the system may be net cashflow positive sooner compared to a lease or loan
