PPA

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): The Zero-CapEx Solution

A PPA offers a path to immediate energy savings and sustainability without using your capital budget

Feature How the PPA Works Your Financial Benefit
Capital (CapEx) Zero Upfront Cost. GMR Group (or our funding partner) finances, installs, owns, and maintains the entire system. Conserve your capital for core business functions. Immediate budget relief.
Pricing & Costs You commit to buying the electricity generated by the system at a fixed, pre-agreed rate (per kWh). Secure energy price stability, insulating your business from volatile wholesale price spikes. The PPA rate is typically lower than your current grid rate.
Maintenance Full Ownership & Risk Transfer. GMR Group handles all maintenance, insurance, repairs, and performance guarantees for the contract term (typically 15–25 years). Zero operational burden. Focus on your business while we ensure 100% system performance.
Balance Sheet The system remains off your balance sheet. The payment is treated as an operating expense (OpEx). Improves key financial ratios and leaves lines of credit open.

The PPA is ideal for: Businesses prioritising cash flow and immediate savings, or those who require a fast track to green credentials without tying up internal capital
