Why contracted offtake makes USD revenue bankable
A Power Purchase Agreement converts a generation asset into a contracted USD revenue stream. The mechanics below underpin every position on the Energy pipeline.
CONTRACT DURATION
15–25 yr
PPAs lock in a USD price-per-kWh for the full term — converting variable generation into predictable contracted cash flows.
PRIMARY OFFTAKERS
ZESA · ZETDC
Utility offtake via ZESA Holdings and ZETDC. Industrial and mining anchor off-takers underpin captive supply agreements.
TARIFF RANGE
USD 0.07–0.12/kWh
Indicative ZERA-governed tariff band. Escalation provisions protect real returns over the PPA term.
TAKE-OR-PAY
Clause-protected
Quality PPAs include take-or-pay provisions requiring payment for contracted energy regardless of actual dispatch — protecting against curtailment risk.
REGULATORY BODY
MEPD · ZERA
Ministry of Energy and Power Development plus Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority govern IPP licencing, grid access and tariff setting.
USD RING-FENCE
South African treasury
Sable Bridge structures revenue settlement in USD, repatriated via South African treasury vehicles — insulated from Zimbabwean currency risk.
Zimbabwe offtake landscape. Primary off-takers include ZESA Holdings and ZETDC for utility offtake. Industrial and mining anchor off-takers underpin captive supply. MEPD and ZERA govern IPP licencing, grid access and tariff setting. All Energy-structured transactions are USD-denominated and ring-fenced from Zimbabwean currency exposure via South African treasury vehicles.

Capacity & revenue calculator
Enter project parameters. The instrument resolves annual generation (GWh) and indicative USD revenue from the standard formula.
Input parameters
Solar PV default: 0.21 · Solar ~0.21 · Hydro ~0.45 · Thermal ~0.70 · Tx ~0.85
Indicative ZESA/ZETDC PPA range: USD 0.07 – 0.12/kWh
Output readout
Annual generation
92.0GWh/yr
91,980.0 MWh/yr
Annual revenue (indicative)
USD 8.28M
USD 689.9K / month
Formula
GWh = 50 MW × 8,760 hrs × 0.21 CF ÷ 1,000
Revenue = 50 MW × 1,000 × 8,760 × 0.21 × USD 0.09/kWh
