Power Purchase Agreements - The Future of Solar?

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:18:06 GMT

Affordable Energy Alternatives

There are two PPA's or TPO(third party ownership) options available for new customers in 2026. This blog post is intended to educate the public on the differences between PPA's and PrePaid PPA's so you can make a confident decision in solar energy and battery storage at your home or business.

Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): a developer builds, owns, and operates solar on-site; the host buys the electricity at a locked-in rate (no upfront capex). The developer claims tax credits and incentives.
Prepaid PPA (prepaid power purchase): the host prepays some or all expected future electricity payments up front in exchange for a deeper discount on the delivered energy. Ownership still typically remains with the developer, who claims the tax benefits unless the contract assigns them.
Why this is more feasible in 2026: tax-credit rules changed (direct pay and transferability under the Inflation Reduction Act), lowering need for tax-equity investors and improving project economics. That, plus lower hardware costs, cheaper financing, and additional bonus credits, makes developer-offered power rates more competitive vs. utilities.

How the tax credits work in practice (commercial projects, 2026)

Investment Tax Credit (ITC) baseline: the federal commercial solar ITC continues to provide a percentage-of-cost credit (subject to year-specific rules). In addition there are bonus adders (domestic content, energy community, low-income siting, storage pairing) that can increase the effective credit.
Transferability: project owners can sell the ITC to unrelated taxpayers for cash rather than use it themselves. That lets an owner monetize credits quickly without finding tax-equity partners.
Direct pay (available for certain entities/qualified projects): allows eligible owners to receive the credit as a refundable payment from the IRS rather than as a tax reduction, effectively converting tax credits into cash flow.
Result: developers can monetize credits faster, reduce their cost of capital, or pass savings through to hosts via lower PPA rates or larger prepaid discounts.

Who claims the credit in PPA / Prepaid PPA

Standard PPA: developer retains ownership and claims ITC/bonuses. Host gets low-cost electricity and no direct tax benefit.
Structured sale/transfer: agreements can allocate the right to transfer or receive the credit. Transferability lets a non-taxpayer host sell the credit to a buyer if the host is the owner and the deal supports it, but most hosts prefer a PPA to avoid ownership responsibilities.
Prepaid PPA nuance: prepayment changes developer cashflow and can justify a deeper discount, but typically does not transfer the ITC to the host unless explicitly structured.

Why costs are lower vs utilities now

Monetized tax credits reduce developer effective installed cost.
Transferability/direct pay reduce or eliminate the need for expensive tax-equity partners, lowering financing costs.
Large-scale deployment and manufacturing improvements have reduced equipment and BOS costs.
Developers offer long-term, inflation-hedged rates and often pass through some of the tax-driven savings, making PPA/prepaid rates below retail utility tariffs.
Prepaid structures allow developers to accelerate CAPEX recovery, enabling sharper immediate discounts for hosts.

How to capitalize step-by-step (practical checklist)

Bottom line

PPAs and prepaid PPAs let users access solar energy with no/low CAPEX and receive electricity at rates often below utility retail. Due to transferability and direct-pay options plus lower financing costs, developers can monetize 2026 commercial solar credits more cheaply and pass bigger savings to customers—making these arrangements a financially attractive route to lower-cost renewable energy.

Artificial Intelligence - Emissions Impact (early studies)

elansonstein1@gmail.com (Elan Sonstein) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 01:50:47 GMT

by Shaolei Ren and Adam Wierman

Interesting read;

The adoption of artificial intelligence has been rapidly accelerating across all parts of society, bringing the potential to address shared global challenges such as climate change and drought mitigation. Yet underlying the excitement surrounding AI’s transformative potential are increasingly large and energy-intensive deep neural networks. And the growing demands of these complex models are raising concerns about AI’s environmental impact.

Importantly, beyond their global climate impact, the environmental effects of AI have significant implications at the local and regional levels. While recent initiatives present promising steps for sustainable AI, they often prioritize easily measurable environmental metrics such as the total amount of carbon emissions and water consumption. They do not give enough attention to environmental equity — the imperative that AI’s environmental costs be equitably distributed across different regions and communities.

The escalating and localized environmental costs of AI

Even putting aside the environmental toll of chip manufacturing and supply chains, the training process for a single AI model, such as a large language model, can consume thousands of megawatt hours of electricity and emit hundreds of tons of carbon. This is roughly equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of hundreds of households in America. Furthermore, AI model training can lead to the evaporation of an astonishing amount of fresh water into the atmosphere for data center heat rejection, potentially exacerbating stress on our already limited freshwater resources.

All these environmental impacts are expected to escalate considerably, with the global AI energy demand projected to exponentially increase to at least 10 times the current level and exceed the annual electricity consumption of a small country like Belgium by 2026. In the United States, the rapidly growing AI demand is poised to drive data center energy consumption to about 6% of the nation’s total electricity usage in 2026, adding further pressure on grid infrastructures and highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions to support continued AI advancement.

The generation of electricity, particularly through fossil fuel combustion, results in local air pollution, thermal pollution in water bodies, and the production of solid wastes, including even hazardous materials. Elevated carbon emissions in a region come with localized social costs, potentially leading to higher levels of ozone, particulate matter, and premature mortality. Furthermore, the strain on local freshwater resources imposed by the substantial water consumption associated with AI, both directly for onsite server cooling and indirectly for offsite electricity generation, can worsen prolonged droughts in water-stressed regions like Arizona and Chile .

Initiatives to advance AI’s environmental sustainability

In the era of heightened environmental consciousness, a variety of multifaceted initiatives have been gaining traction, aiming to advance AI’s environmental sustainability and ensure its positive net contribution to mitigating climate change.

Advancements in data center power and cooling infrastructures have made substantial strides in reducing the once-hefty energy overheads of AI computing, as evidenced by the decline in power usage effectiveness (PUE) from 2.0 to 1.1 or even lower in cutting-edge data center facilities.

Other key innovations include the design of efficient AI model architectures, optimization algorithms to accelerate AI training and inference, techniques like weight pruning and quantization to reduce model sizes, and the creation of energy-efficient GPUs and accelerators.

At the system level, holistic management of both computing and non-computing resources is essential for building sustainable AI systems. For instance, geographical load balancing, a well-established technique, can dynamically align energy demand with real-time grid operating conditions and carbon intensities across a network of distributed data centers. Its effectiveness in mitigating environmental impact has been demonstrated in real-world systems, such as Google’s carbon-intelligent computing platform .

Furthermore, data center operators have pursued diverse strategies to achieve “net zero” emissions, including the development of large-scale solar farms and procurement of renewable energy credits. Likewise, in acknowledgment of fresh water as a vital social resource, industry leaders have set an ambitious goal of “water positive” by 2030 by replenishing more water than they consume.

The troubling rise of AI’s environmental inequity

Unfortunately, there remains a widening disparity in how different regions and communities are affected by AI’s environmental impacts. In many cases, adverse environmental impacts of AI disproportionately burden communities and regions that are particularly vulnerable to the resulting environmental harms. For instance, in 2022, Google operated its data center in Finland on 97% carbon-free energy; that number drops to 4–18% for its data centers in Asia. This highlights a significant disparity in the local consumption of fossil fuels and the creation of air pollution. Similarly, the water-consumption rate for data center heat rejection can be disproportionately higher in drought-stricken regions such as Arizona due to their hotter climates.

Moreover, existing approaches to deploying and managing AI computing often exacerbate environmental inequity , which is compounded by persistent socioeconomic disparities between regions. For instance, geographical load balancing that prioritizes the total energy costs or carbon footprint may inadvertently increase the water footprint of data centers in water-stressed regions, further straining local freshwater resources. It could also disproportionately add to the grid congestion and raise locational marginal prices for electricity, potentially leading to increased utility rates and unfairly burdening local residents with higher energy costs.

A strategic imperative to address AI’s environmental inequity

The troubling rise of AI’s environmental inequality has impeded progress toward environmentally responsible AI. This issue has garnered increasing public attention, prompting urgent calls for mitigation efforts. For instance, in its 2023 Landscape report , the AI Now Institute draws parallels between the uneven regional distribution of AI’s environmental costs and historical practices of settler colonialism and racial capitalism. Additionally, UNESCO advises against using AI if it leads to disproportionate negative environmental impacts, while the State of California acknowledges the importance of equitably distributing AI’s environmental costs in its recent Benefits and Risks of Generative Artificial Intelligence report .

AI’s emerging environmental inequality across different regions is deeply intertwined with global socioeconomic disparities. Therefore, taking proactive steps to address this issue is not just a moral necessity but a strategic imperative for minimizing potential business risks and narrowing the widening socioeconomic gap.

We advocate environmental equity as a vital component for fostering truly responsible AI. Our goal is to address AI’s environmental impact in the most adversely affected and vulnerable regions as a priority, mitigating the widening disparity between different regions.

Promoting environmentally equitable AI via geographical load balancing

Admittedly, achieving uniform environmental impact for AI data centers across all geographical locations is challenging, as some regions inherently face greater environmental disadvantages than others.

However, the ability to flexibly deploy and manage AI computing across a network of geographically distributed data centers offers substantial opportunities to tackle AI’s environmental inequality by prioritizing disadvantaged regions and equitably distributing the overall negative environmental impact. While redirecting car traffic on a freeway to address the associated air pollution presents logistical hurdles, using geographical load balancing to spatially reroute “AI traffic,” including AI training tasks and certain inference requests, is easy and immediately actionable. This technique enables dynamic redistribution of AI computing across geographically distributed data centers, considering real-time local factors such as the proportion of fossil-based energy sources and water efficiency. Crucially, it applies regardless of whether a company operates its own geographically distributed data center infrastructures or uses cloud-based AI services. For instance, a major technology company could easily move most of its computing tasks to other data centers without impacting its services, while a small business could dynamically and flexibly shift its computing needs across different cloud regions.

By fairly distributing AI computing across different data centers, we can effectively redistribute AI’s regional environmental costs, fostering a more equitable outcome. The key innovation centers on prioritizing regions bearing the most notable adverse environmental impact, such as heightened air pollution and depleting freshwater resources. This is accomplished by dynamically assigning a higher importance weight to otherwise disproportionately burdened regions when optimizing the geographical load balancing decisions in real time.

However, implementing equitable-aware geographical load balancing presents some practical challenges. Even when dynamically balancing AI computing in real time, it’s difficult (if not impossible) to predict AI’s future computing demands to account for the long-term environmental impact. And ensuring a consistent level of AI model inference performance and quality is essential. To tackle these challenges, we can utilize the history data and leverage state-of-the-art reinforcement learning techniques to identify the optimal AI computing management across geographically distributed data centers, prioritizing environmental equity while minimizing the overall environmental impact.

• • •

The uneven distribution of AI’s environmental impacts often remains hidden from public view and can potentially create unforeseen socioeconomic ramifications. We aim to raise awareness within the business community and among the general public regarding AI’s emerging environmental inequity. As we strive to develop environmentally responsible AI, we must not solely concentrate on easily measurable sustainability metrics, such as the total carbon emission and water consumption, while overlooking equity in the process. AI’s environmental impacts must resonate with the priorities and interests of local regions.

CPUC Approves A New Billing Structure That Will Cut Residential Electricity Prices And Accelerate Electrification

Wed, 15 May 2024 19:53:13 GMT

CPUC Reducing prices for electric in 2025. Is it all a hoax?

May 09, 2024 -

SAN FRANCISCO – The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a proposal to reduce the price of residential electricity through a new billing structure mandated by the state Legislature in Assembly Bill 205 . This billing adjustment introduces a flat rate bill component and reduces the electricity usage rate. It lowers overall electricity bills on average for lower-income households and those living in regions most impacted by extreme weather events, while accelerating California’s clean energy transition by making electrification more affordable for all.

“This new billing structure puts us further on the path toward a decarbonized future, while enhancing affordability for low-income customers and those most impacted from climate change-driven heat events,” said CPUC President Alice Reynolds. “This billing adjustment makes it cheaper across the board for customers to charge an electric vehicle or run an electric heat pump, which will spur greater uptake of these technologies that are essential to transitioning us away from fossil fuels.”

Under the new billing structure:

The usage rate for electricity will be reduced by 5 to 7 cents per kilowatt-hour for all residential customers.
This change makes it more affordable for everyone to electrify homes and vehicles, regardless of income or location, because the price of charging an electric vehicle or running a heat pump is cheaper.
A portion of the fixed infrastructure costs—such as maintaining power lines and equipment— will be moved from the usage rate to a separate line item called the “Flat Rate” on customer bills.
The flat rate will be $24.15 per month, with low-income customers and customers living in deed-restricted affordable housing eligible for discounted flat rates of $6 or $12.

Customers enrolled in the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) low-income assistance program will benefit from a discounted flat rate of $6 per month. Customers enrolled in the Family Electric Rate Assistance Program (FERA), as well as those residing in deed-restricted affordable housing with incomes at or below 80 percent of the area median income, will qualify for a discounted flat rate of $12 per month.

The new billing structure does not introduce any additional fees or generate extra profits for utilities. Instead, it redistributes existing costs among customers. This approach aligns with billing practices employed across the nation and by most other utilities in California.

In the coming months, the CPUC will collaborate with investor-owned utilities on a customer communications plan to educate customers about the new billing structure. The new billing structure will be implemented starting in late 2025 and early 2026.

Stay tuned..

How to convince a tenant to buy electricity from you instead of the local utility?

elansonstein1@gmail.com (Elan Sonstein) — Wed, 15 May 2024 19:29:11 GMT

Multi-metered Residential Apartment Buildings - Tenants Pay Utility Bill

Net metering is a billing system that allows solar panel owners to receive credit for the excess energy they produce and feed back into the grid . This means that if an apartment building produces more energy than it uses, the excess energy can be sold back to the utility company for credit on the building’s electricity bill.

Solar power is becoming an increasingly popular option for apartments due to its numerous advantages. One of the main benefits is cost savings for both tenants and landlords. By using solar energy, tenants can lower their electricity bills and save money each month . Additionally, landlords can potentially generate income by producing excess energy and selling it back to the grid. This can also help offset the initial cost of installing solar panels.

Another advantage is increased property value for landlords and property owners . Properties with solar panels are seen as more sustainable and environmentally friendly, which can make them more attractive to potential buyers or tenants.

Solar power is a popular alternative energy source that is becoming increasingly popular in apartment complexes. There are several advantages of using solar power for apartments and one of the main benefits is that tenants gain access to clean and affordable energy . This not only helps to reduce their utility bills but also has a positive impact on the environment. Additionally, solar power can enhance the comfort of apartment residents by improving energy efficiency, which can help to regulate temperatures and reduce noise pollution. The property owners and tenants alike.

It is important to explore financing options for solar installations, such as lease agreements and power purchase agreements (PPAs). These agreements allow apartment building owners to benefit from solar power without having to pay the upfront costs of installation . Additionally, there are incentives and tax credits available for apartment solar projects, which can further reduce costs and make solar power more financially feasible for building owners. By carefully considering financing and ownership models, apartment buildings can successfully implement solar power and reap the benefits of clean energy.

Tenant has own meter. If your tenants pay for electricity directly to the utility company, then a separate agreement or an amendment to the lease can be negotiated between the tenant and the property owner for solar power generated. For example:

Purchase and Sale of Electricity . Lessor shall install and maintain a solar array on the roof of the Premises. Lessee shall purchase from Lessor, and Lessor shall sell to Lessee, any required electric energy generated by the System. Any energy not required by Lessee shall remain the property of Lessor, and Lessor may sell the excess to a power company at its option. Lessee may purchase electric energy for the Facility from other sources only if the Lessee’s electric requirements at the Facility exceed the output of the System. There shall be no minimum supply of electricity guaranteed under this agreement.

Billing and Payment . Lessee shall not have to transfer Lessee’s electricity bill to Lessee’s name and pay the [local utility company] (hereafter, “Utility”) deposit for as long as this power agreement remains in effect. Instead, Lessor shall pay the entire Utility bill and submit an invoice monthly for reimbursement to the Lessee of the total electricity bill minus an annual discount of [% or $].

Environmental Attributes, Environmental Incentives and Tax Credits . Lessor is the owner of all Environmental Attributes and Environmental Incentives and is entitled to the benefit of all Tax Credits, and Lessee’s purchase of electricity under this agreement does not include Environmental Attributes, Environmental Incentives or the right to Tax Credits or any other attributes of ownership and operation of the System, all of which shall be retained by Lessor. Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor in obtaining, securing and transferring all Environmental Attributes and Environmental Incentives and the benefit of all Tax Credits, including by using the electric energy generated by the System in a manner necessary to qualify for such available Environmental Attributes, Environmental Incentives and Tax Credits. Lessee shall not be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with such actions unless reimbursed by Lessor. If any Environmental Incentives are paid directly to Lessee, Lessee shall immediately pay such amounts over to Lessor.

Term. The term of this solar panel system agreement shall coincide with the term of the Lease, unless earlier terminated as provided for in this Amendment. Any Lease extensions shall extend the terms of this Amendment.

How to convince a tenant to buy electricity from you instead of the local utility?

As mentioned above, if the tenant is already paying the property owner for power, either for common space, or because the building is master-metered, you may be able to start billing for clean energy now, without amending lease terms.

On a NNN lease, where the tenant has their own meter with the local utility, some discount may be needed to incentivize the tenant to switch from the local utility to the property owner for electricity. In practice, we have found that tenants do not want to block the adoption of renewable energy. Often a credible bill, and some marketing materials are all that is needed. Giving anchor tenants a 5% discount on the solar generated electricity can speed the adoption and justify the solar investment as well.

Please give us a call if you have any questions and wish to speak with a professional regarding Multi-metered properties. Primary, secondary, vacation, and rental properties apply.

Network Security at Home

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:11:15 GMT

Secure Network connections at home and business are more important than ever

What is network security?

According to the SANS Institute , network security is the process of taking preventative measures to protect the underlying networking infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction or improper disclosure. Implementing these measures allows computers, users and programs to perform their permitted critical functions within a secure environment.

Securing a network requires a complex combination of hardware devices, such as routers, firewalls and anti-malware software applications. Government agencies and businesses employ highly skilled information security analysts to implement security plans and constantly monitor the efficacy of these plans.

Why is network security important?

Network security is important for home networks as well as in the business world. Most homes with high-speed internet connections have one or more wireless routers, which could be exploited if not properly secured. A solid network security system helps reduce the risk of data loss, theft and sabotage.

Energy Shaving - The Future of Solar Energy

elansonstein1@gmail.com (Elan Sonstein) — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 20:44:18 GMT

An exciting new way to counter rising utility rates

As more people have turned to solar energy to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on their energy bills, it’s essential to understand how different rate structures and energy storage options can impact their savings. Homeowners and businesses that are investing in solar energy are finding that understanding and navigating the various rate structures and options can be challenging. Like understanding Peak Shaving and Time of Use (TOU) rates.

To explain, Peak shaving and Time of Use (TOU) rates are related concepts but are not the same thing.

Peak shaving refers to reducing a facility’s energy demand during periods of high electricity usage, regardless of the rate structure in place. This can involve using energy storage systems, adjusting production schedules, or reducing non-essential energy-consuming activities, to avoid the high energy demand charges and costs that often occur during peak hours.

TOU rates, on the other hand, are a rate structure offered by many utilities that vary the cost of electricity depending on the time of day. Typically, rates are higher during peak demand periods and lower during off-peak hours. By shifting energy usage to off-peak hours, customers can save money on their energy bills.

While peak shaving can be used to reduce energy demand during peak periods, it is not limited to TOU rate structures. Peak shaving can be used regardless of the rate structure in place, and it can be beneficial even in situations where a facility is not subject to TOU rates. Similarly, while TOU rates incentivize customers to shift energy usage to off-peak hours, they do not necessarily involve peak shaving.

Grid-tied solar systems can also be combined with Time of Use (TOU) rates and peak shaving strategies to further reduce electricity costs and optimize energy usage.

Under a TOU rate structure, using a grid-tied solar system, you can generate your own electricity during peak demand periods and feed excess energy back into the grid, which can help offset the higher electricity rates during these hours.

To maximize the benefits of a grid-tied solar system under a TOU rate structure, peak shaving strategies can be employed. This involves reducing energy demand during peak hours, when electricity rates are highest, by storing excess energy generated by the solar system in battery storage systems. By using stored energy during peak hours, customers can reduce their demand charges and avoid paying higher rates for electricity.

For example, during off-peak hours, a grid-tied solar system can generate excess electricity, which can be stored in battery storage systems. Then, during peak hours, the stored electricity can be used to power the facility, reducing the need to draw energy from the grid when electricity rates are highest.

Other peak shaving strategies that can be used in conjunction with a grid-tied solar system and TOU rates include demand response programs, which encourage customers to voluntarily reduce their energy usage during peak hours.

If you’re considering solar and want to take your energy savings to the next level, pairing solar with a battery system, using Peak Shaving strategies, and Time of Use rates can offer a range of benefits. Here are the top five benefits:

Reduced energy costs: By using a combination of solar panels, battery storage, and peak shaving strategies during times of high energy demand, you can significantly reduce your energy costs. Additionally, by taking advantage of time-of-use rates, you can shift your energy usage to times when electricity is less expensive.
Energy independence: With a solar and battery system, you can generate and store your own electricity, making you less reliant on the grid. With the right system this can be especially useful during power outages, allowing you to continue using electricity even if the grid goes down.
Increased energy efficiency: Pairing solar with a battery system and peak shaving strategies can help you optimize your energy usage and reduce overall energy demand. This can result in increased energy efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Improved grid reliability: By reducing peak energy demand during times of high grid usage, you can help improve grid reliability and reduce the likelihood of power outages.
Environmental benefits: By generating your own clean energy with solar and using battery storage to reduce energy demand during peak hours, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and help combat climate change.

Overall, combining solar with a battery system, peak shaving strategies, and time-of-use rates can offer a range of benefits, from reduced energy costs to increased energy independence and environmental sustainability.
