Different PPA price for 1-10 years and 10-25 was created by khalidhameed
Hello

First of all I would really appreciate the team behind building such a great tool. I am trying to model Utility PPA with debt and I want to add two different Tariff for specified period of range. In the financial parameters mode I can only specify PPA price and PPA escalation. I cannot find any other way of specifying a PPA price for two periods, 1-10 years and then 11-25 years. Any thoughts about how to get this realised in SAM. I have seen Time of delivery TOD parameters established under CSP projects but it is for hourly basis.
Many thanks

Khalid

Dear Khalid,

For now (as of SAM 2015.1.30), it is not possible to specify different PPA prices for different years (except for a linear increase with the PPA escalation rate input). We have received a number of requests for this feature, and are considering adding it for a future version.

Best regards,
Paul.
