Deliverability
Capacity that can’t reach your load under the region’s rules can’t enable it. Proving it takes detailed power-flow studies.
Firma Supply

A new kind of power agreement
What is a Portfolio Capacity Agreement?
Portfolio Capacity Agreement
A single contract with Firma for the capacity a utility needs before it can connect new large load. Firma supplies that capacity from a managed portfolio of many projects, so it counts under the utility’s accreditation rules and can be delivered to your site. Clean energy and renewable energy certificates (RECs) can be bundled in as you need them.
Firma then manages the portfolio over seasons and years. A PPA buys energy from one project; a Portfolio Capacity Agreement delivers load-enabling capacity from many.

SolarWindStorageDemand responseReplacement capacityWhat your load needsGap to fill
What you buy
PPA:
Energy and RECs from one project.

One agreement with Firma. Firma handles the project contracts, the filings and every counterparty.
Best suited to

For utilities
For project owners
Maximize the value of your pipeline.
Standalone projects can’t serve gigawatt-scale loads and portfolios of complementary assets manage evolving capacity accreditation and mitigate risk. Firma combines projects from many developers and IPPs into higher-value clean firm portfolios for large loads. We help maximize the value of the assets in your pipeline.
Partner with FirmaFirma assembles and acquires power and energy from multiple developers and IPPs. Firma does not displace the teams developing and building projects.
What Firma provides to sellers
Deliverability assessment
Transmission fit, queue posture, constraints, and credible delivery paths.

Accreditation, reliability contribution, and the role each asset can play.
Economics

For utilities
Serve more large-load requests with supply the customer brings.
When a new load asks for more than you can supply in time, Firma Supply finds and structures the rest. Firma contracts clean, grid-delivered projects from many developers and IPPs, builds the portfolio to your accreditation and deliverability rules, and manages it for the life of the contract. You stay the utility that serves the load.

Accredited and deliverable under your rules, sized to the load as it ramps.
