6 FAQs about [Proxy solar power generation costs and profits]
How does a solar proxy revenue swap work?
Under a solar proxy revenue swap,the hedge provider pays the project a fixed lump-sum amount per quarter, regardless of the level of irradiance, (intensity of sunlight), the volume and timing of the energy produced by the project, and the market-clearing price for electricity.
What is a power purchase agreement based on “proxy generation”?
Power purchase agreements based on 'proxy generation' are becoming more common for wind and solar projects. These agreements are a variation on a type of hedge called a 'contract for differences'. They have a 'strike price'. The passage discusses the increasing usage of such power contracts in the context of renewable energy projects.
Does a proxy revenue swap work for repowering wind projects?
This approach works for both new undertakings, as well as repowering of existing wind projects. The first 10-year proxy revenue swap was applied in February to hedge output and revenue of a portfolio of three repowered projects totaling close to 400 MW in Texas.
What is a proxy revenue swap?
As fixed operational efficiencies are assumed in the calculation of “proxy generation,” the operating risks, such as availability of the project, stay with the project. The proxy revenue swap is afinancial hedge, meaning no energy is purchased as part of the transaction.
How is proxy revenue calculated?
The proxy revenue for a given settlement period is calculated as thehub price multiplied by the project’s “proxy generation” for the settlement period. The proxy generation for each settlement period is determined using a pre-agreed formula that converts irradiance, or the strength of local sunlight, into an amount of electricity output.
What is proxy generation?
Here’s where the ‘proxy’ part comes in. Proxy generation represents how much energy each individual wind turbine should have produced in any given hour given the observed “fuel” (a function of wind speed and air density) and the project specifications as provided by the project (primarily turbine performance and turbine availability).
