Solar as a Financial Hedge
With longer solar PPA contract terms, we can offer customers better rates. A Tioga SurePath™™ Solar PPA contract generally spans 20+ years. Our goal is always to reach a fair and equitable agreement with our customers and to provide a financial hedge — using the known electricity costs of solar — to protect against utility electric rate increases.
Since 1940, the percentage of energy consumed in electric form has quadrupled in the United States. Electricity consumption is expected to grow 45 percent by 2030. (Edison Electric Institute’s Report: Rising Electricity Prices: A National Perspective.)
