Background
How can a buyer or generator learn the decisions inside a power purchase agreement?
PPA Helper starts with a load or generator and follows the transaction from a short project brief through contract choice, negotiation, signature and operations. Learners can test the settlement mechanics rather than relying on definitions alone.

How It Works
- Seven-stop course: Learn, settlement, drafting, a practice VPPA, project finance, data-center power and perspectives form the learning path.
- Worked decisions: Load, generation and transmission cases carry a brief, decisions, a failure test and an exercise.
- Simulators: VPPA settlement exposes price and basis risk; the supply-stack builder illustrates how generation and storage serve a load.
- Practice drafting: Inputs generate a VPPA template with negotiable positions marked for completion.
- Learning controls: Newcomer and Practitioner modes, checkpoints, progress, glossary and source coverage let readers choose depth. Examples illustrate mechanics rather than live market prices.
