Vale of Mowbray Update
Atrato Onsite Energy plc (LSE: ROOF), the renewables investment trust focusing on UK commercial onsite energy, today provides an update on the Vale of Mowbray power purchase agreement ("PPA").
The Company has a PPA with Vale of Mowbray Limited ("Vale of Mowbray") under which the Company supplies behind-the-meter green energy generated through its rooftop solar installation. This asset is the smallest project in the Company's portfolio and represents less than 0.6% of the Company's NAV.
Vale of Mowbray has entered into administration. The Company has confirmed with the administrators that it will continue to sell energy to the site during the administration process, with any excess sold to the grid under an existing spill PPA at a premium of 84% above the Vale of Mowbray's contractual PPA price. If the site is vacated, all energy generated by the Company's solar installation will be sold to the grid under the higher spill PPA price.
The Company does not expect any material adverse consequences because of this administration, illustrating the value of the credit protections that the Company typically benefits from in its contracts.
