Net Zero Energy Sourcing & Power Purchase Agreements

The five principles of net zero are: (1) Reduce emissions at the source as much as possible; (2) Replace fossil fuel-based energy with renewable alternatives; (3) Use carbon removal to offset residual emissions; (4) Set science-based targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway; and (5) Ensure transparency and accountability through credible measurement, reporting, and verification of progress over time.

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract between an energy buyer and a renewable energy developer. The developer builds and operates the power plant, while the buyer agrees to purchase electricity at a pre-agreed tariff — typically lower than grid rates. Under Third-Party Open Access PPAs, buyers receive clean power with zero upfront capital and no operational responsibilities.

Opten Power supports three procurement models: Capex (full asset ownership with depreciation and tax benefits), Group-Capex (minimal equity investment with maximum ROI, per-unit savings of ₹3–5, and wheeling charge exemptions), and Third-Party Open Access (zero upfront investment, ideal for commercial complexes and IT parks with grid tariffs of ₹10–15/unit).

Businesses can cut energy costs by up to 40% using Corporate PPAs on the Opten Power platform. Under the Group-Capex model, per-unit savings of ₹3–5 are achievable. The exact savings depend on your current grid tariff, consumption volume, state DISCOM rates, and the procurement model selected — all of which are analyzed instantly on the platform.

Opten Power serves a wide range of sectors including steel, cement, textiles, manufacturing, data centres, IT parks, hospitals, warehouses, commercial complexes, hotels, and fertiliser conglomerates. Any commercial or industrial entity with significant electricity consumption and exposure to high grid tariffs can benefit from renewable procurement through the platform.

Opten Power's automated tender engine and pre-approved contract templates enable deal closure up to 50% faster than conventional procurement. Once a buyer registers and defines their energy profile, matching projects are surfaced immediately, RFPs can be issued in minutes, and contract finalization follows structured, pre-standardized PPA documentation to minimize back-and-forth.

Yes. Opten Power's Project Finance service connects businesses with banks, NBFCs, and private equity funds for both debt and equity financing. The platform also supports M&A advisory for strategic transactions, making it a comprehensive resource for enterprises looking to fund renewable energy assets with the right financial structure.

Opten Power currently operates across 16 states in India, with real-time DISCOM intelligence and standardized landing price data available for accurate state-by-state cost comparisons. This extensive footprint ensures that both buyers and developers can transact with confidence regardless of where their energy assets or consumption points are located.
