Long-term Power Purchase Agreements for Wind Power: University Perspectives
Tuesday, April 9, 2013
1:00-2:00 pm (EDT)
To date, the vast majority of colleges and universities purchasing wind power have used short-term contracts (1 - 3 years) for utility products or renewable energy certificates (RECs). Only recently have a few leading universities purchased wind via long-term (10+ years) PPAs. This webinar will highlight the experiences of The Ohio State University, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Oklahoma in exploring long-term wind power contracts and the questions and issues that other schools investigating this procurement option should consider.
Webinar participants will learn about:
*Wind PPAs, including their structure, key terms, and requirements.
*The potential for wind PPAs to reduce energy costs, hedge against price volatility, and reduce an institution's carbon footprint.
*The influence of long-term contracts on decisions by project developers to build new generation facilities, such as wind farms.
Speakers Include:
*Aparna Dial, University Director, Energy Services and Sustainability, The Ohio State University
*Brian Ellis, Director of Facilities Management, University of Oklahoma
*James Rosner, Utilities Director, Oklahoma State University
