PPAs, As-a-Service & Operating Leases

Flexible funding and delivery models to unlock decarbonisation without upfront capital.

WHAT IS IT?

Alternative commercial models that enable organisations to deploy energy and decarbonisation projects without significant capital expenditure. This includes:

  • Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for renewable energy supply

  • Energy-as-a-Service models for fully managed infrastructure delivery

  • Operating leases for energy assets such as lighting, solar and controls

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU

  • With traditional grant funding reducing, including changes to schemes like PSDS and LCSF, organisations are increasingly needing to find new ways to deliver decarbonisation.

  • These models allow you to move forward without waiting for uncertain funding rounds, shifting projects from CapEx to OpEx while reducing delivery and performance risk.

  • They also enable bundled solutions where design, installation, operation and maintenance are wrapped into a single outcome-based contract.
