Renewable Energy Products • Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): • A long-term contract to buy electricity output from a renewable energy provider, e.g., Google, Microsoft. • Giving renewable power project developers the access to financing they need to build new projects that contribute to new green power to the grid
Renewable Energy Products Off-site Renewable Renewable Energy Products Carbon Offsetting Market Off-site Utility Energy Grid On-site Diesel Generator On-site Renewable Datacenter
Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) • A REC is a certificate that represents 1 MWh of electricity generated from renewable energy • Two products: commodity electricity and REC • REC can be sold or traded separately from commodity electricity + REC
Datacenter Power Sourcing Renewable Energy Products Carbon Offsetting Market Off-site • Expensive + Eliminate the need of capex and opex investment + Immunity to the renewable intermittency Utility Energy Off-site Renewable On-site Grid On-site Renewable Diesel Generator Datacenter
