Parties
Full legal names, entity types, and contact information for seller, buyer, and any guarantors or lenders; use exact registered names for enforceability.
A clear Professional PPA Agreement defines commercial terms, reduces disputes, and documents long‑term obligations. Electronically signed agreements are enforceable under federal ESIGN law (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state UETA provisions where adopted, provided intent, consent, attribution, and retrievability are satisfied.
Several organizational roles commonly prepare, review, and execute PPA agreements depending on transaction scale and complexity.
Each participant should confirm authority to sign and preserve executed copies for contract management and audit purposes.
General counsel or authorized officer signs on behalf of the energy or service provider. They must ensure pricing schedules, delivery points, and insurance exhibits match operational capabilities and financing covenants; mismatches can delay commercial operation or funding.
Procurement director or authorized corporate officer signs for the purchaser. They verify credit, acceptance testing, forecasting obligations, and termination rights; failure to confirm delegated authority can render the signature challengeable.
