Funding & Finance

Touchpoint Energy offers a suite of financing solutions tailored to match your needs. Whether CAPEX or PPA, Touchpoint Energy will provide the most cost effective solution ensuring minimal impact on core operations while achieving sustainability goals.

Solutions Offered:

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

A PPA is a contract entered between the client and the energy provider. This arrangement acts similarly to a rent to own option where the client will purchase all energy produced by the PPA provider at an agreed upon rate. In most cases, this rate is lower than the principal providers rate, dependant on the equipment option being provided. All servicing, maintenance and monitoring costs are included in the agreed upon energy rate.

Various term lengths are available, such as 10, 12, 15 and 20 year periods. Tariffs are increased at a fixed rate annually. This rate is lower than the average principal providers rates allowing for ensured long term savings, and predictable future energy costs. Systems are designed specifically for the client’s energy needs ensuring the client will get maximum benefit over the lifetime of the system.

Throughout the period Touchpoint Energy retains ownership of the system, providing peace of mind that the system will be maintained. At the end of the period, ownership is transferred to the client. Exit options are made available to the client should they wish to own the system during the original term.

Cash Purchase (CAPEX)

If you have the cash to purchase the energy generation facility, you can own and be responsible for your own generation facility. Purchasing the system is an investment into your future energy needs, as once the system has paid itself off, you will have “free” energy and not have to worry about increasing energy costs.

While this can be an attractive option, the ongoing maintenance costs over the system’s lifetime should be considered. Annual maintenance will need to be sourced as well as any replacements out of warranty be accounted for. All CAPEX options provided by Touchpoint Energy include a 12 month workmanship warranty equivalent to a one year maintenance agreement. Following this, an Operations and Maintenance agreement can be provided.
