Discount Energy Purchase (DEP)
Suitable for: Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

CHP Rental-as-a-Service
Suitable for: Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Our CHP Rental-as-a-Service financing option allows you to rent a CHP unit for a shorter time period – typically 5 years. Unlike many other financing options, there are no minimum generation obligations, so you won’t be charged for under-usage. You can use the CHP as much or as little as your organisation needs, as your energy strategy evolves.

Power Purchase Agreement icon
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
Suitable for: Commercial Solar Panels
Our PPA option finances on-site renewable generation assets. Suiting a period of 15-20 years, we can offer a single agreement inclusive of the asset, financing and operation.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Tracker
Suitable for: Commercial Solar Panels
A financing option for Solar installations that tracks non-domestic electricity market rates. This means you can rest assured that you’ll always be paying less for your Solar energy than you would have been paying for the same amount of grid-supplied electricity.

Flexible Term Agreement (FTA)
Suitable for: Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
