What is a PPA?
A PPA allows an Off-taker to benefit from on-site renewable energy generation with zero capital outlay. The Developer designs, installs and maintains the system under a 15, 20 or 25-year agreement, and the Off-taker simply buys the power at a fixed rate, typically well below standard utility tariffs. For example, a business currently paying 25p per kWh could pay around 14p per kWh under a PPA, delivering savings from day one with a buyback option at end of term.
Hire Purchase enables a business to spread the cost of a renewable energy system over a fixed term, typically 3 to 8 years, with full ownership at the end. Monthly repayments are usually lower than the energy savings the system generates, making the arrangement cash-flow positive from the outset. The Off-taker also benefits from Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) tax relief and, once the finance term ends, enjoys free generation for the remaining 20+ year life of the equipment.
Public sector organisations can access a range of Government-backed grants and interest-free loans to fund renewable energy and decarbonisation projects, including Salix Finance, the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), the Low Carbon Skills Fund, and regional programmes across Scotland and Wales. We have a thorough understanding of these funding streams and their eligibility criteria, compliance requirements and application processes. Whether you need consultancy on scheme selection, feasibility support or technical design that aligns with funding criteria, we can work effectively within these structures to help you make the most of the opportunities available.
