Payments based on Power Purchase Agreement
With reference to the Power Purchase Agreement 1 (PPA 1) between RGM and the Republic of Suriname from 2003, amended in 2013, the Government receives monthly a payment from RGM based on the total annual energy available for purchase by RGM under the terms of the Agreement.
The monthly invoicing is based on the table below in conjunction with the predetermined monthly available energy:
| PRICE PER KWH | GOLD PRICE |
|---|---|
| USD 0.09 | < USD 1550 |
| USD 0.11 | USD 1,550 – USD 1,650 |
| USD 0.12 | USD 1,650 – USD 1,750 |
| USD 0.13 | USD 1,750 – USD 1,850 |
| USD 0.14 | +USD 1,850 |
