Relation

Sits above the LCOE floor, below FOAK LCOE

A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract under which a buyer agrees to purchase a power plant's electricity at an agreed price for years or decades. PPAs are how most large generation projects get financed: a firm, contracted revenue stream is what lets a developer raise the capital to build. The required PPA price is the level at which a plant covers its costs and returns.

Kronos publishes a required PPA band of $56–92/MWh for MetroVolt — sitting above the physical LCOE floor (~$18–30/MWh) and consistent with the FOAK-to-fleet cost ladder. As with all the economics, it is presented as a transparent, assumption-stated range rather than a single optimistic figure, and it is the number a strategic offtake partner would actually contract against.
