Document background
This Direct Power Purchase Agreement template is designed for use in the Netherlands market where corporations increasingly seek to secure long-term, predictable power supply arrangements directly with generators, often driven by sustainability goals and power cost management objectives. The document reflects Dutch legal requirements and market practices, incorporating essential elements required under the Dutch Electricity Act and EU energy regulations. It is particularly suited for renewable energy projects but can be adapted for conventional power sources. The agreement typically covers periods of 10-15 years and includes detailed provisions for power delivery, pricing mechanisms, guarantees of origin, and risk allocation. This type of agreement has become increasingly important as more corporations commit to renewable energy targets and seek to manage their electricity costs effectively.
