Electricity production/sale

Own electricity production allows not only to cover part of the operational needs, but also to realize surplus energy. Electricity generation and sale becomes an independent direction of activity, the result of which depends on the chosen implementation model and project conditions.

„Energobalt helps assess electricity generation opportunities, advises on implementation models, and helps choose a solution that meets the project goals.

When is it worth producing electricity for sale?

Electricity production for sale is usually considered when the amount of energy produced exceeds own needs or when the project is developed as an investment from the very beginning. Before making a decision, it is important to assess the planned production volume, the possibilities of connecting to the electricity grid and the chosen method of realization.

When producing electricity for sale, it is possible to:

  • to sell excess electricity produced;
  • to receive income from electricity production;
  • plan long-term electricity price conditions;
  • to use available production capacity more efficiently;
  • contribute to the development of renewable energy.

Electricity sales models

The generated electricity can be sold in several ways. The choice depends on the scope of the project, the stability of production, and the desired predictability of income.

The most commonly used models:

  • long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs);
  • trading electricity on the exchange;
  • a combination of own consumption and sales;
  • individually tailored implementation solutions.

Each model has a different ratio of price predictability and flexibility, so the decision is made after assessing the conditions of a specific project.

PPA contracts – long-term price predictability

PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) – a long-term electricity purchase and sale agreement between a producer and a buyer. It allows for an agreement in advance on the price and volume of electricity for a specified period.

This model is relevant when the aim is:

  • predictable long-term income;
  • less dependence on price fluctuations;
  • clear conditions for project financing.

Trading on the stock exchange – a more flexible model

The generated electricity can also be sold on the electricity exchange at the current market price.

This model is more often chosen when:

  • the aim is to take advantage of market price fluctuations;
  • production volumes are changing;
  • it is desired to maintain greater flexibility.

What is important to consider before starting?

The electricity generation and sales project is assessed comprehensively - technical feasibility and economic feasibility are examined together.

The following factors are assessed:

  • planned power plant capacity and production volume;
  • possibilities of connection to electricity networks;
  • ratio of own consumption to surplus;
  • selected implementation model;
  • project duration and long-term goals.

Only after evaluating these factors can it be determined which implementation method is most suitable for the project.

How is the project implementation going?

Every project begins with an initial feasibility assessment.

1. Consultation

Project objectives, planned production volume and electricity demand are assessed.

2. Technical feasibility analysis

The possibilities of production and connection to electricity grids, as well as the economic feasibility of the project, are analyzed.

3. Selection of the implementation model

Possible methods of selling electricity are evaluated and the most suitable one for the project is selected.

4. Project development

The main stages of project implementation are coordinated.

5. Further consultations

Recommendations are provided to help ensure the effective operation of the system and its long-term benefits.
