缔约合约影响
绿色电力采购可能会面临挑战，具体取决于可供选项和当地监管环境。例如，如果一个机构追求长期合同，它将带来源于招投标和审查投标人、合同协商以及获得法律咨询服务而产生交易成本。这些类型的采购是定制协议。
如果机构选择拥有并运营生产，则需要确保现场控制（如果是场外），进行工程可行性研究，确定设备尺寸和类型，获得许可，设计并指定安装，确保供应商，签订安装、运营和维护合同。如果项目位于现场，但由其他人拥有，则托管该项目的机构可能会面临许多与长期合同相同的挑战，并且需要解决有关安装将如何影响建筑或设施运行的问题。
尽管首次采购绿色电力的机构需要投入更多的精力来了解市场和可选项，但是随着购买者经验的积累，这些成本通常会随着时间显着降低。遵循本指南（尤其是第6章）中提供的信息和策略，会有助于减少新的绿色电力购买者面临的缔约合约影响。此外，可公开获得的示例合同模板能够帮助购买者避免在签订绿色电力合同时遇到困难（参见第10章，参考资料）。
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).
