The benefits of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for Solar?

A PPA is a financing model specifically for solar PV projects, enabling organisations to access solar energy with no initial investment. eEnergy funds and installs the solar system, and you simply pay for the energy you consume at a reduced rate.

Benefits of a PPA for Solar:

  • Zero upfront cost for solar installation – Immediate access to solar energy without capital expenditure.
  • Only pay for energy used – Billed per kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumed, providing immediate savings.
  • Long-term cost stability – Protects against energy price volatility.
  • Sustainability impact – Reduce carbon emissions and enhance your environmental profile.
  • Option to purchase – Option to own the solar system at the end of the agreement.
  • Compliant for public sector – NatWest-backed funding meets UK public sector requirements, perfect for education and healthcare sectors.

Our funding solutions

We provide several ways to compliantly and simply fund your decarbonisation projects, allowing your organisation to engage with multiple projects at once with no upfront cost. Our fully funded option offers equipment and installation at no upfront cost, with a fixed monthly fee over the service life, often offset by energy savings. Alternatively, our client-funded option allows you to invest in your infrastructure by purchasing equipment like LED lighting, solar panels, EV chargers, or analytic meters. These solutions include comprehensive site management, covering ongoing maintenance and system oversight. Additionally, you can generate extra revenue from EV chargers and export excess solar energy to the grid.

Avoid the wait and cost of delays with our zero upfront solutions

If you’re exploring grants for energy efficiency projects, like LED lighting or solar PV, you’re likely aiming to improve sustainability, cut energy costs, and reduce your carbon footprint. While government grants may seem attractive, they often come with significant challenges—bureaucracy, long wait times, potential rejection, and strict compliance requirements. All of these can lead to wasted time and missed opportunities, especially as energy prices rise and carbon reduction goals become more pressing.

Through our innovative funding models, backed by NatWest and tailored to meet UK public sector guidelines, you can implement energy-saving solutions with zero upfront costs.
