Revenue model

1. Renewable Energy Retail and PPAs: Potentia Energy provides business customers with tailored renewable energy solutions through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and retail electricity contracts. The company offers products including Potentia Energy Future (premium product with 100% renewable energy matched 1:1 from their portfolio plus full LGC allocation), Potentia Energy Fixed (fixed price contracts for up to 3 years including mandatory LGCs), and Potentia Energy Flex (progressive purchase allowing businesses to buy energy at intervals throughout the contract). Revenue is generated through energy sales, certificate sales, and contract-based arrangements with large commercial and industrial customers.
2. Energy Generation and Sale: Potentia Energy generates revenue through the operation of renewable energy assets including solar farms, wind farms, and battery storage systems. Energy produced is sold under PPAs to offtake partners such as BHP, Zen Energy, Smartest Energy, Origin Energy, and the Victorian Government. The company operates as a long-term asset owner and operator of clean energy infrastructure.
