TERRAVERDE’S DISTRIBUTED PPA PROGRAM

Uniquely aligning CCA & customer interests on behind-the-meter solar + battery projects

TerraVerde’s Distributed PPA Program enables CCAs to partner with customers in deploying behind-the-meter solar + battery projects. Under this program framework, CCAs engage target customers with a cost savings and energy resiliency offering in the form of a solar + battery program agreement. Upon securing interest from a cohort of customers, the CCA, then procures a Distributed Solar + Battery PPA from developers for projects sited at these customer locations. Based on the pricing received from the market, the CCA then offers the electricity generated from the deployed solar PV systems to their cohort of customers at a rate that is higher than the Distributed PPA rate but lower than the customer’s standard (or otherwise applicable) rates thus:

• Lowering customer costs & providing backup power benefits
• Generating a new revenue source for the CCA
• Overcoming the revenue loss challenge posed by the behind-the-meter generation
• Developing a DER portfolio that generates significant procurement cost savings for the CCA
• Building a long-term relationship between CCAs and their customers
