Power purchase agreements

Power markets have evolved rapidly over the past decade, and the unit-contingent busbar PPAs of yesteryear are increasingly ill-suited for the complexities of today's markets. PPAs can be structured to better reflect current market structures, but the added complexity often runs head-first into lender and tax equity investor requirements. Brixton Infrastructure helps you structure a solution that both reflects the current market and clears financing.

What we do

Load analysis through execution, in six phases.

Load analysis

Establish what the contract must serve: hourly interval data, load growth scenarios, existing supply arrangements, and the renewable accounting objective, whether annual matching, hourly matching, or an emissions basis.

Structuring

Physical or virtual; unit-contingent or fixed-volume; a single project or a portfolio across markets. We advise on the appropriate PPA structures and ancillary hedges, with modeling support and scenario analyses to quantify the alternatives against your requirements and those of your risk committee and financing parties. We do this all before reaching out to any potential counterparty.

RFP

A competitive process run to a defined calendar: solicitation materials, a specific term sheet, and a bid format that makes offers comparable on price, shape, and credit.

Shortlisting

Screen counterparties on interconnection queue position, site control, development maturity, and credit support.

Negotiation support

Term sheet through long-form agreement, working alongside your counsel: settlement mechanics, curtailment allocation, delay and underperformance remedies, change-in-law provisions, and the security package.

Execution

Final documentation, internal approvals, and the handoff to contract management; close-out includes a plain-language summary of the obligations your team now owns and the dates on which they bite.

Who it's for

Buyers of long-tenor power, and the developers that serve them.

  • Corporates & data centers contracting for new load or sustainability targets, where the agreement must survive scrutiny from the CFO.
  • Industrials whose supply arrangements price directly into unit economics and who need volume and shape terms matched to a production schedule.
  • Developers & capital providers structuring the offtake that makes a project financeable.

The record

Over 700 MW from the seller's side of the table.

Between 2011 and 2026, Brixton Infrastructure's principal negotiated and executed over 700 MW of project power purchase agreements as well as over 3 GWh of energy, capacity, and REC hedges for IPPs across all major US power markets. These transactions covered a wide range of structures and risks: basis risk, volume and shape risk, and curtailment risk.

A buyer who arrives with hourly load data, a specific term sheet, and a credible competitive process removes the premium a seller charges for ambiguity. That mechanism is what this service is built on.

The same record covers the structures buyers now weigh: physical delivery and virtual settlement, unit-contingent and fixed-volume, single projects and portfolios across markets. Knowing where each structure has strained in practice narrows the negotiation to terms a counterparty will actually sign.
