Sustainability - renewables - electricity - power purchase agreements.
In this context, a new to earth asset is an asset for green electricity generation that has not yet been built.
Contrasted with an Existing asset.
In simple terms, striking a power purchase agreement (PPA) in relation to a New to earth asset is likely to:
- Be more expensive, because set up and installation costs will not yet have been covered, but
- Be considered more "green", because new green capacity is added to the power network.
- Be longer term than an existing asset PPA, and
- Provide greater scope for a buyer to secure prices for a correspondingly longer time period.
In this context, new to earth assets are sometimes known as New build assets.
