WHY CHOOSE US

Powering Your Business, Empowering Alberta

The Estuary Project provides an innovative solution for large energy consumers in Alberta, offering access to competitively priced renewable solar energy. In a market where electricity prices can fluctuate significantly and carbon taxes on electricity add substantial costs, this project enables businesses to secure long-term price stability and reduce exposure to carbon-related expenses. By engaging in a renewable energy PPA through the Estuary Project, companies can effectively hedge against market volatility and future carbon tax increases, ensuring sustainable, cost-effective energy consumption. This approach is perfect for firms aiming to meet their ESG goals while managing energy and carbon tax liabilities efficiently.

What is a PPA?

Physical PPA vs. Virtual or Financial PPA
The Benefits of the Virtual PPAs

No Physical Delivery

VPPAs don’t deliver electricity directly; instead, the generator sells energy to the wholesale market.

Price Hedge

VPPAs ensure price stability with a fixed rate for the generator; the buyer settles market price differences.

Renewable Energy Certificates

The Power Purchasers is given the REC's this represents a revenue stream that discounts Power. By over 50% until 2034. Act now before you miss the REc potential revenue.

Risk Management

VPPAs manage risk by giving the buyer a fixed price and the generator a stable revenue stream.

Got questions?
We've got answers.

What is a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) with the Estuary Project?

A VPPA with the Estuary Project is a financial contract where the solar energy generated is sold into the wholesale market, and your business receives financial benefits from renewable energy generation without direct electricity delivery. Unlike physical PPAs, VPPAs involve financial settlements rather than physical delivery.

Will I receive physical energy delivery through a VPPA with the Estuary Project?

No, the Estuary Project’s VPPA does not involve direct energy delivery. The solar energy generated is sold into the wholesale market, and your business benefits through a financial contract for differences.

What are the risk management benefits of a VPPA from the Estuary Project?

A VPPA with the Estuary Project secures a fixed energy price, protecting your business from market price fluctuations. This arrangement ensures stable energy costs while providing the project with consistent revenue for financing and operations.

How does a VPPA with the Estuary Project provide financial stability for my business?

The Estuary Project’s VPPA provides a price hedge, protecting your business from energy price fluctuations. You pay a fixed contract price, and any difference between this and the market price is settled financially, ensuring budget stability and safeguarding against market volatility.

What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and how do they benefit my business through the Estuary Project?

RECs represent the environmental benefits of renewable energy generation. With a VPPA from the Estuary Project, you receive these certificates, allowing your business to claim renewable energy usage and meet sustainability and ESG goals.

How is the market price settled in a VPPA with the Estuary Project?

Under the Estuary Project’s VPPA, the solar energy is sold at wholesale market prices. You pay the agreed-upon fixed price reducing the volatility risks that the market produces.
