PPA Management
Manage your Power Purchase Agreements from contract to carbon impact. NetNada tracks renewable energy delivery against PPA terms, calculates market-based Scope 2 emission reductions, manages associated renewable energy certificates, and monitors contract performance—giving you complete visibility into how your PPAs translate into verified emissions reductions.
How It Works
Corporate PPAs are a significant investment in decarbonisation, but tracking their emissions impact requires reconciling energy delivery data, certificate retirement, consumption matching, and market-based accounting. PPA Management centralises this complexity into a single, auditable workflow.
Register Your PPA Contracts
Enter PPA details: generator name and technology (wind, solar, hybrid), contract capacity (MW), expected annual generation (MWh), contract term, pricing structure, and certificate bundling arrangement. NetNada stores contract documents and tracks key dates including reviews, renewals, and expiry.
Track Energy Delivery and Generation
Import monthly or quarterly generation and delivery statements from your PPA counterparty. NetNada reconciles delivered MWh against contracted volumes, flagging shortfalls or excess generation. For behind-the-meter PPAs, solar generation data feeds directly from monitoring systems.
Match Delivery to Site Consumption
Allocate PPA-delivered energy to specific sites and consumption periods. NetNada enforces GHG Protocol matching rules: temporal alignment (annual vintage at minimum), geographic compatibility (same electricity market), and quantity reconciliation (delivered MWh vs consumed kWh).
Calculate Market-Based Scope 2 Reductions
Electricity covered by your PPA receives the generator-specific emission factor (typically zero for wind and solar). Residual consumption uses grid-average or residual mix factors. The result: a market-based Scope 2 figure that reflects your PPA investment alongside the location-based comparison.
Manage Certificates and Retirement
Track Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) bundled with your PPA. NetNada monitors certificate creation, transfer, and retirement through the REC Registry. Ensures certificates are properly retired against your consumption—essential for credible renewable energy claims and audit compliance.
Why Use PPA Management
Translate PPA Investment into Verified Emission Reductions
A PPA is a financial contract—translating it into auditable emission reductions requires precise accounting. PPA Management connects contract terms to delivered energy to retired certificates to market-based Scope 2 calculations, ensuring every MWh of renewable energy you've paid for appears as a verified reduction.
Avoid Greenwashing Risk
Claiming '100% renewable' or 'powered by wind energy' without proper certificate retirement and consumption matching creates greenwashing risk. PPA Management enforces GHG Protocol quality criteria, ensuring your renewable claims are substantiated by properly matched and retired certificates.
Monitor Contract Performance
PPAs often include minimum delivery guarantees, generation profiles, and pricing adjustments. Track actual delivery against contracted volumes, identify underperformance early, and maintain documentation for contract management discussions with your PPA counterparty.
Optimise Multi-PPA Portfolios
Organisations with multiple PPAs across different generators and sites need portfolio-level visibility. Allocate generation from different PPAs to different sites optimally—covering high-emission grid regions first to maximise the tonnes CO2e avoided per certificate.
Support AASB S2 and CDP Disclosure
Climate-related financial disclosures increasingly require detail on renewable energy procurement strategy. PPA Management generates the data needed for AASB S2 transition plans, CDP climate questionnaire responses, and annual sustainability reports—contract details, delivery performance, and emissions impact.
Maintain Complete Audit Documentation
External assurance of market-based Scope 2 claims requires evidence: PPA contracts, delivery statements, certificate serial numbers, retirement confirmations, and consumption matching documentation. PPA Management maintains this complete audit package, reducing assurance preparation effort.
Who Uses PPA Management
Energy and Procurement Managers
Professionals managing corporate energy procurement use PPA Management to track contract performance, reconcile delivery statements, and manage certificate inventory. The tool bridges the gap between energy procurement and carbon accounting functions.
Sustainability Teams Reporting Market-Based Scope 2
Sustainability professionals need to translate PPA contracts into GHG Protocol-compliant market-based Scope 2 figures. PPA Management automates the consumption matching, factor application, and dual reporting that market-based methodology requires.
Organisations with RE100 or Renewable Energy Commitments
Companies committed to 100% renewable electricity through RE100 or similar initiatives use PPA Management to track progress toward their target. Monitor what percentage of consumption is covered by PPAs and where gaps remain that need additional procurement.
Companies with Behind-the-Meter Solar
Organisations with rooftop solar PPAs or on-site renewable generation need to account for self-generated renewable energy separately from grid consumption. PPA Management tracks on-site generation, grid export, and the emissions accounting treatment for each.
CFOs Overseeing Energy Cost and Carbon Strategy
CFOs increasingly manage PPA contracts as strategic financial instruments. PPA Management provides the financial performance view (cost per MWh, budget vs actual) alongside the carbon impact view (tonnes CO2e avoided), supporting integrated financial-sustainability decision-making.
PPA Management Features
Contract Registry
Centralised register of all PPA contracts with key terms: generator, technology, capacity, pricing, term, certificate bundling, and performance guarantees. Stores contract documents and tracks renewal dates, review triggers, and counterparty contacts.
Delivery Reconciliation
Import monthly generation and delivery statements. Reconcile delivered MWh against contracted volumes and consumption. Flag shortfalls, excess generation, and delivery profile mismatches. Track cumulative delivery against annual contracted volumes.
Consumption Matching Engine
Allocate PPA-delivered energy to specific sites and time periods following GHG Protocol matching criteria. Temporal matching (annual vintage minimum), geographic matching (same electricity market), and quantity matching (MWh delivered vs consumed) are enforced automatically.
Market-Based Scope 2 Calculator
Automatically calculate market-based Scope 2 emissions reflecting PPA coverage. PPA-covered electricity receives generator-specific factor (zero for wind/solar); residual consumption receives grid or residual mix factor. Produces dual location/market reporting.
LGC and Certificate Tracking
Track Large-scale Generation Certificates from creation through transfer and retirement. Monitor certificate inventory, verify retirement against consumption, and maintain registry documentation. Supports Australian LGCs, international RECs, and other certificate schemes.
Portfolio Dashboard
Consolidated view across all PPAs: total contracted capacity, delivered vs expected generation, consumption coverage percentage, certificate inventory status, and aggregated emissions impact. Identify portfolio gaps and optimise allocation across sites.
Financial Performance Tracking
Monitor PPA financial metrics: cost per MWh delivered, budget vs actual spend, comparison against grid electricity pricing, and effective cost per tonne CO2e avoided. Supports CFO reporting on PPA portfolio financial performance.
Audit Evidence Package
Generate complete documentation for external assurance: contract summaries, delivery reconciliation reports, certificate retirement confirmations, consumption matching evidence, and methodology documentation. Ready for limited or reasonable assurance review.
