Allens has advised Alinta Energy, through project entity Marri WF as trustee for the Marri WF Unit Trust, on its long‑term power purchase agreement (PPA) for the Marri Wind Farm in Western Australia.
Under the agreement, renewable electricity generated by the Marri Wind Farm will be supplied to Water Corporation under a long‑term offtake arrangement, supporting the delivery of renewable power to essential public infrastructure.
Allens advised on all aspects of the PPA, including a full review and negotiation of the agreement, transaction structure and other key commercial and legal issues.
‘This PPA is a significant step forward for the Marri Wind Farm and reflects the critical role long‑term offtake arrangements play in bringing large‑scale renewable energy projects to market,' said lead partner Melissa Keane.
‘The agreement supports the development of what will become Western Australia’s largest wind farm, supplying renewable electricity to critical public infrastructure while contributing to decarbonisation, price stability and security of supply.’
Allens is a leading adviser to energy market participants on complex renewable energy projects, PPAs and energy transition transactions across Australia. The firm recently advised ENGIE on an innovative 100% virtual storage agreement, Zenith Energy on its long term PPAs to supply electricity to the mining operations in the Kalgoorlie region, Iberdrola on its appointment as development partner for transmission infrastructure, and the divestment of AGL's stake in Tilt Renewables.
