What Is A Private Wire PPA?

A Private Wire PPA is a long-term agreement where electricity is generated locally and supplied directly to your site via a dedicated connection.

ILOS develops, funds, builds and operates co-located solar and battery energy storage (BESS) assets that then supplies power directly to your premises.

A Private Wire PPA is a contractual agreement signed with ILOS and is a commitment to buy the power generated at a fixed price, when that power is being produced.

Financial Savings

Working with ILOS to secure renewable energy supplies via a Private Wire PPA can offer significant financial advantages.  Corporate energy buyers partnering with ILOS can lock-in fixed pricing for 15 – 25 years for a portion of their total energy usage, reduce exposure to spikes in energy prices and rising network capacity charges.

Crucially, compared to utility agreements that offer savings through variable tariffs, ILOS can offer savings of between 30% – 50% on total power expenditure.

Operational Resilience

In contrast to grid-only tariff agreements, a private wire solution creates a more controlled and secure energy environment, building resilience into operations.  Organisations can reduce reliance on constrained grid supplies and circumvent the need for large grid connection requirements by having their own dedicated supply. It would require the corporate off-taker to be at a location for 15years or more or put in place terms to accommodate change.

Measurable ESG Outcomes

For private or listed companies and public sector organisations focussed on reducing Scope 2 emissions and reporting on measurable ESG improvements to their operations via REGOs and ROCs, a Private Wire PPA evidences a clear investment in decarbonisation.

Similarly, a private wire delivers true additionality – that is, the energy buyer’s commitment to a new solar development will directly lead to the creation of more renewable energy, rather than clean power purchased and traded under a green tariff. Where a corporation is building from new, the biodiversity net gain (BNG) credits can be used to offset the NPG planning requirement of 10% BNG uplift.

Organisations That Benefit Most From Private Wire PPAs

Private wire PPAs are particularly suited to high energy users e.g.

  • Data centres and digital infrastructure
  • Advanced manufacturing and heavy industry
  • Logistics hubs and EV fleet depots
  • Cold storage and food processing
  • Water and utility infrastructure
  • Electrification of smelters and the cement industry

How Does ILOS Structure Its Private Wire PPAs?

Every ILOS private wire project is engineered to match the specific energy needs of your organisation. ILOS will work with you to understand your energy demand, and then design and model solar power and battery storage to provide the most efficient clean energy for your business or organisation.

By integrating battery storage with our solar, we can enable our private wire customers to optimise the consumption of renewable energy – storing power for use later in the day or at times of peak demand.  This approach provides a more consistent power supply and can support periods when HVAC systems or industrial processes are operating at maximum capacity.

ILOS Private Wire PPAs are typically signed for 15 – 25 years, providing a stable, predictable cost for a significant portion of your energy demand.
