Assumed physical/financial PPA cash outcomes — stated inputs
Two 1-hour intervals: load 10.0/10.0 MWh; output 10.0/0 MWh; retail $40.0/$100 per MWh; project $20.0/MWh; strike $50.0/MWh; firm $75.0/MWh; second-price flip $60.0/MWh; 10.0 RECs.modeled

| Scope | Choose between physical delivery, a financial PPA and a firm $75.0/MWh supply offer for two one-hour settlement intervals. Assume facility load 10.0 MWh in each interval; project output 10.0 MWh in the first and zero in the second; retail energy prices $40.0 and $100/MWh; first-interval project settlement price $20.0/MWh; and a $50.0/MWh strike on actual output with no floor or collar. In the physical contract, title transfers at the project node, the buyer pays the retail-minus-project basis on delivered output and buys the shortfall at retail. Assume zero losses, sleeve fees, imbalance penalties, collateral interest and curtailment; all other bill components are identical and excluded from this energy comparison. Each PPA transfers and retires the 10.0 project RECs for the buyer; the firm offer carries no assumed REC promise. In the flip, only the second retail price falls to $60.0/MWh. The two-interval shape illustrates this chapter’s daytime output and dark-hour exposure, not a price forecast or an annual clean-energy claim. Each interval and load/output quantity is an exact two-bin day/dark convention, not an annual production shape. Energy prices and strike are selected sensitivity constants: the project price is below the first retail price and strike, while the uncovered retail price moves across the firm-offer crossover. Three significant figures describe display resolution, not market accuracy. Title/basis/shortfall/REC transfer and retirement are stipulated contract terms. Zero losses, fees, penalties, collateral interest and curtailment, with identical excluded bill components, isolate Chapter 3.4’s basis and shape cash mechanics. The firm offer makes no attribute promise. |
