After PPA execution the local sponsor can be instructed to begin acquisition of real estate needed for the project.
Real estate acquisition can be time consuming and a major headache for the sponsor, so many sponsors will begin acquiring real estate prior to PPA execution (even before Congressional authorization).
Early acquisition of real estate is legal, but the sponsor is assuming all of the risk that the project will ultimately be built. The Federal government will not accept any liability for early real estate acquisition.
