Corporate PPAs

We offer Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to help businesses secure long-term renewable energy at fixed costs, promoting both financial savings and sustainability.

Our PPA models allow clients to adopt solar or wind energy without upfront investment, ensuring hassle-free ownership, consistent pricing, and compliance with corporate ESG goals and carbon regulations.

Zero Energy acts as a trusted partner in structuring, financing, and delivering PPAs that are legally compliant, scalable, and customized to meet energy demand and risk preferences of enterprises.

Business Model

Deferred Capex

The Deferred Capex model is a way for individuals or companies to own a solar power system without having to pay the entire cost upfront. It’s like a “pay-as-you-go” plan for solar energy, where you get the benefits of owning the solar asset—such as reduced electricity bills and environmental impact—without a large initial investment. This model makes solar more accessible, enabling more people and organizations to embrace clean energy and build a sustainable future without financial strain.

Key Benefits of Deferred Capex:

✅ No large upfront investment — Spread payments over time with flexible financial terms
✅ Immediate savings — Enjoy reduced electricity bills from day one
✅ Ownership advantage — You still own the system and benefit from incentives
✅ Promotes sustainability — A cost-effective path to a greener, cleaner future

Opex Energy Model

With the Opex model, you get seamless access to clean energy without any upfront investment or performance risk. Zero Energy owns and maintains the solar system, while you simply pay for the power you use—often 20–40% cheaper than grid rates. Our solar, wind, or hybrid solutions with storage ensure reliability, backed by a 25-year maintenance plan.

✅ Hassle-Free Power
No performance risks or hidden charges—just stable, clean energy delivered at lower-than-grid rates.

✅ Long-Term Benefits
Enjoy up to 40% savings and 25 years of maintenance-free, uninterrupted renewable energy.

Capex Model

In the Capex model, you, the power consumer, take ownership of the solar asset. Zero Energy installs the energy plant, be it an off-site wind/solar/wind-solar hybrid farm or a rooftop solar plant, while you pay for the equipment, design, installation, and commissioning costs. Under an operation and maintenance agreement, our skilled engineers assure effective plant operations with an annual contract. This approach provides advantages such as a reduced carbon footprint and a chance to claim tax benefits through rapid depreciation. Own the asset, embrace sustainability, and reap long-term rewards with the Capex model.

Group Captive Structure

With a group captive structure, multiple companies can work together to gain from a shared solar power project. They can share the expense and benefit from renewable energy by grouping to own and use the energy produced. Together, the industries, companies, or institutions – in the group can meet their renewable energy needs thanks to this concept. It results in scale economies and increased energy security. As a facilitator, Zero Energy facilitates a cooperative and sustainable approach through the Group Captive Structure. It enables everyone to have access to clean energy and promotes a more environmentally friendly future for the community as a whole.
