The Bilateral Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a fundamental document in the UAE's energy sector, used to establish long-term electricity supply arrangements between power producers and purchasers. This agreement is essential for independent power projects, renewable energy initiatives, and traditional power generation facilities operating within the UAE. The document must comply with UAE Federal laws, including UAE Federal Law No. 8 of 2021 (Commercial Transactions Law) and specific emirate-level energy regulations. It typically covers a 15-25 year period and includes detailed provisions for power supply, pricing mechanisms, operational requirements, and risk allocation. The agreement is particularly relevant given the UAE's Energy Strategy 2050 and its increasing focus on clean energy projects, requiring careful consideration of both conventional power generation requirements and renewable energy specifications.
