締約合約影響
綠色電力採購可能會面臨挑戰，具體取決於可供選項和當地監管環境。例如，如果一個機構追求長期合同，它將帶來源於招投標和審查投標人、合同協商以及獲得法律諮詢服務而產生交易成本。這些類型的採購是定製協議。
如果機構選擇擁有並運營生產，則需要確保現場控制（如果是場外），進行工程可行性研究，確定設備尺寸和類型，獲得許可，設計並指定安裝，確保供應商，簽訂安裝、運營和維護合同。如果項目位於現場，但由其他人擁有，則託管該項目的機構可能會面臨許多與長期合同相同的挑戰，並且需要解決有關安裝將如何影響建築或設施運行的問題。
儘管首次採購綠色電力的機構需要投入更多的精力來了解市場和可選項，但是隨著購買者經驗的積累，這些成本通常會隨著時間顯著降低。遵循本指南（尤其是第6章）中提供的信息和策略，會有助於減少新的綠色電力購買者面臨的締約合約影響。此外，可公開獲得的示例合同模板能夠幫助購買者避免在簽訂綠色電力合同時遇到困難（參見第10章，參考資料）。
Contracting Challenges
Purchasing green power can be challenging, depending on the supply options available and the local regulatory environment. If an organization chooses to pursue long-term contracting, for example, it will incur transaction costs stemming from soliciting and vetting bidders, negotiating contracts and obtaining legal advisory services. These types of procurements are customized agreements.
If an organization chooses to pursue generation that it owns and operates, it will need to ensure site control (if off-site), undertake engineering feasibility studies, determine equipment size and type, obtain permits, design and specify the installation, secure a vendor, and contract for installation as well as operations and maintenance. If the project is on-site, but owned by someone else, the organization hosting the project may face many of the same challenges pertaining to long-term contracts and will need to address concerns about how the installation will affect the building or the facility’s operations.
Although organizations purchasing green power for the first time may need to invest extra effort to learn about the market and available options, these costs often decrease significantly over time as the buyer gains experience with the process. Following the information and strategies provided in this guide, particularly Chapter 6, should help reduce the contracting challenges faced by new purchasers of green power. In addition, sample contract templates are publicly available to help buyers avoid difficulties in signing a green power contract (see Chapter 10, Resources for Additional Information).
