    Whether you are looking for funds to purchase or install new equipment, to restructure existing debt, or refinance to raise additional working capital, our renewable energy team can help.


    We can help you find an affordable way to spread the cost of the equipment you need through tailor-made Hire Purchase, Finance Lease, Operating Lease or Refinance packages.

    Businesses we can support with renewable energy finance include:

    Funding from £1 million to £100 million

    We offer funding to support the construction and operation of projects such as:

    • Onshore wind farms
    • Solar parks and rooftop solar
    • Hydro schemes
    • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants
    • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

    • Green hydrogen production

    Funding ranges from £1 million to £100 million, depending on project specifics.


    Our approach


    Your project doesn’t need to be shovel-ready, but it should have:

    • A grid connection offer
    • Planning permission in place

    Every project is unique and we work with you from concept to completion, offering strategic advice and support throughout the due diligence process. Our goal is to help deliver your project on time and within budget—maximising your returns and accelerating the move to net zero.
