If you -
(1) Want to set up a new profitable business
(2) Want to establish a profitable side-line to an existing business, or
(3) Want "free" electricity for your current business operations
then becoming an Independent Power Producer may be right for you.
This is a profitable low-risk business with secure long-term customer.
With the demand for electricity increasing rapidly, electricity prices are rising and electricity network providers are paying high rates to purchase electricity from private suppliers.
How to become an IPP
There are 3 requirements for an IPP project - a fuel supply, the power plant, the electricity customer.

Option 1. You already have the FUEL SUPPLY
If you are a producer of agricultural, forestry or industrial material then you may already have sufficient fuel supply -
Pangea will then work with you to provide the power plant and secure the Power Purchase Agreement with the customer - the Government network owner.
Option 2. You already have the ELECTRICITY CUSTOMER
If you are a large consumer of electricity, eg a mine or industrial processing business, then you already have the electricity customer (yourself) -
Pangea will then work with you to provide the power plant and secure the fuel.
Option 3. You have neither fuel supply nor customer but are keen to establish a profitable new business
If you are neither a fuel supplier nor a large customer, but would like to set up a new business -
Pangea will then work with you to provide the fuel supply (set up a plantation), power plant and secure the electricity customer.
We provide –
- No-obligation free pre-feasibility assessment
- Project design around available fuel, location, and customer requirements
- Funding – our finance partner will prepare a financing package for the project.
- Electricity customer – we negotiate with the Government power company to obtain a favourable long-term agreement that they will purchase your electricity (Power Purchase Agreement) once the power station is built.
- Fuel supply – we identify available local fuel sources, or we develop new fuel sources (plantations, import fuel, etc.).
- Equipment – we provide all the necessary equipment and plant.
- Construction and connection – we arrange all of the construction and connection to the network using experienced and reputable construction partners.
- Operations - once set up we arrange remote monitoring and on-call operations management to ensure smooth operations and annual service maintenance of the equipment.

Financials –
The table below shows estimated cost and profit from some typical projects.
We can provide a financier that will provide all the finance on a novated lease type arrangement in which finance for the project is supplied in return for regular repayments over a fixed period of time. As these payments are made from the electricity revenues, there is no outlay required from you. At the end of the agreed term you own the asset outright without having made any investment yourself. (However, you would need to provide security for the capital loan.)
