The normalization of the gluon condensate and of renormalon-related powercorrections in QCD is computed under the assumption that their ``perturbative''part dominates over any eventual extra contribution from the non-trivialvacuum. The calculation is performed in the infrared finite coupling framework,assuming an infrared fixed point is present in the perturbative coupling downto low values of N_f. The freezing perturbative coupling is reconstructed usinga Banks-Zaks expansion approach. Parameter-free predictions of the low energymoments of the coupling, which determine the process-independent part of thepower corrections, are obtained for a number of choices of the runningcoupling.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures, JHEP style. JHEP version: further comparison and discussion of the discrepancy with the standard SVZ procedure is given (mainly in section 4
