With Data Science`s performance, LevelTen Energy can detect a project that meets a company`s needs in terms of size, price, risk, timing, location and other factors, whether they collaborate alone or with other buyers. In the case of a virtual ECA, the energy does not physically go from the project to the buyer. It`s just a financial contract, which is why it`s often referred to as a „financial AAA.“ In a VPPA, energy on the wholesale electricity market is sold at a defined billing location (nodes, commercial hub or charging area). The buyer continues to receive his electricity from his distribution company at the distribution undertaking`s rate.
