Authority: Municipal VPPAs Sample Clauses

Authority: Municipal VPPAs. To understand a Missouri municipality’s authority to enter into a VPPA, it’s important to first understand the type and functions of a VPPA. VPPAs are similar to the more familiar power purchase agreement (“PPA”), in which an entity contracts with a generator of renewable energy to purchase and legally take title to electricity and the associated renewable energy credits (“REC”), at a fixed price over a certain period of time. 1 Unlike a PPA, a VPPA does not provide for the physical delivery of electricity. Rather, a VPPA is a financial transaction in which an entity contracts with a renewable energy generator to pay a fixed price for electricity and RECs; the renewable energy generator receives the market price for electricity; and at a set date in the future, the two parties reconcile the differences in the fixed price and the market price. 2 This reconciliation is why a VPPA is sometimes referred to as a “swap” or “contract for differences”.3 If the market price of electricity 1 See Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Introduction to the Virtual Power Purchase Agreement, Rocky Mountain Institute, Nov. 2018, xxxxx://xxx.xxx/insight/virtual-power-purchase-agreement/. 2 Id. 3 Xxxxxx X.
