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.

Annual revenue (indicative)

USD 8.28M

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
