Generation from renewable energy can be sold in different ways: as generated, take or pay, or pay as consumed. The underlying volume structure can be baseload, peak-off peak, block of hours, solar or wind profile, or client load profile. Everything depends on the customer’s needs and risk appetite.

Before signing the contract, an energy assessment of the facility is done with the buyer. After the construction phase begins, a periodic construction report is shared with the buyer as well. And once the plant is operational, the seller can provide ongoing information and data about production.
