PPA investors tell us what they want to see first

This Summer we launched BidDesk. It’s a submission engine for projects that are ready to be bought by a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)  investor.  

On CleanFi, BidDesk appears for qualifying projects as one of the financing options after you have entered the profile of the project.

Here's a sample CleanFi project financing options summary:

Unlike all the loan-based products available on CleanFi, PPA’s are custom-priced solutions where 3rd party Investors use proprietary formulas to determine at what price they would be willing to take a generation-long risk on the system you propose to build.



BidDesk gives you simultaneous access to multiple qualified investors at the same time. Submit once and save days of research and work.

When deciding how to respond to a BidDesk submission, investors roll-up their sleeves and first examine the credibility of the project in its fundamental and in the people involved with it. They want to see:

Is the submitted data complete and easy to interpret? Is this submission just kicking tires, or is the project signed and ready?  Do I trust the builder to insure returns on my money?  …and only last: Do I like the off-taker?

Giving prospective investors confidence in you will deliver the best bids. Here are two things that will immediately set you apart:

1- Know the avoided cost $/kWh; it’s the first datapoint of interest to an investor. Here's the simple “Avoided Cost” calculation pointer

2- Lay aside questions about your credibility with a great Statement of Qualifications. Here's our simple pointer on creating an SoQ
