Abstract

This chapter examines power purchase agreement (PPA) structuring mechanisms to address project risks that manifest across renewable energy projects in several Asian countries. Using India as a case study, the chapter identifies the extent to which the standard PPA provisions address current prominent risks in the sector. It goes on to identify how existing provisions could be modified and newer structures could be included to ensure a more bankable PPA format. One key intended takeaway from this chapter is that the process of arriving at a standardised model for a PPA must be a constantly evolving one, taking into account the concerns of all project stakeholders, project risks and solutions across jurisdictions, to bring stability to the PPA models.
