Here’s how we got here:

Each step has reinforced our position as the most trusted partner for energy project certification in Australia.

Who benefits most?

• Installers & EPCs – Increase competitiveness and improve project viability.

• Developers & PPAPower Purchase Agreement is a direct agreement between a renewable energy project developer and an end-user for the sale of renewable electricity. Behind the meter, PPAs are commonly used for on-site solar.
