Two Problems, One Solution: Funded Site Remediation For Renewables
For many UK businesses, the ambition to adopt renewable energy runs into a significant physical barrier: the buildings themselves. An ageing roof, outdated electrical systems, or the presence of asbestos can make a solar PV installation seem like a non-starter, adding prohibitive costs and complexity to the project.
For many UK businesses, the ambition to adopt renewable energy runs into a significant physical barrier: the buildings themselves. An ageing roof, outdated electrical systems, or the presence of asbestos can make a solar PV installation seem like a non-starter, adding prohibitive costs and complexity to the project. This is where funded site remediation for renewables becomes essential. Funded site remediation for renewables is a critical step toward facilitating this transition.
How Blended PPAs Turn Infrastructure Hurdles into Energy Assets
This exact challenge was a central theme in our recent webinar with NFU Energy. While the conversation was focused on the agricultural sector, the core insight is universal: what if the infrastructure problem and the energy problem could be solved at the same time, with a single, elegant solution?
Incorporating funded site remediation for renewables can not only address existing infrastructure issues but also enhance the overall viability of renewable energy projects. By understanding the importance of site remediation, businesses can better strategise their energy transitions.
Funded site remediation for renewables ensures that the necessary adjustments and improvements are made, making it easier for businesses to harness renewable energy effectively. With funded site remediation for renewable energy, the process of upgrading infrastructure becomes seamless, ultimately leading to a more sustainable energy future.
At Saber Renewable Energy, this is precisely what our Blended Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is designed to do. It’s an approach that moves beyond simply funding a solar array to fund a complete site transformation, including funded site remediation for renewables.
Watch our two-minute summary video below to see how it works.
By leveraging funded site remediation for renewables, clients can transform their facilities into energy-efficient powerhouses, ready to adapt to modern energy demands.
Beyond Solar: Funding the Entire Project
As the video highlights, many buildings simply aren’t ready for a renewable energy system to be installed. A traditional PPA that only covers the solar panels leaves the client with the significant capital expense of getting their building “solar-ready.”
Our Blended PPA model fundamentally changes this dynamic. Under this structure, Saber Renewables funds the entire project scope with no upfront capital outlay from you. This includes:
- Essential site remediation, such as roof replacements, repairs, or over-cladding.
- Necessary electrical system upgrades to handle the new energy generation.
- The design, supply, and installation of the renewable energy technologies themselves (e.g., solar PV, battery storage, or CHP).
- All ongoing operations and maintenance for the life of the agreement.
The Strategic Advantages of an Integrated Approach
Your business simply agrees to purchase the clean energy generated on-site at a fixed, predictable price that is designed to be lower than your current grid supply rate. This approach turns a capital-intensive problem into a straightforward operational saving.
A Universal Solution for Ageing Infrastructure
While the video uses farms as a clear example, this model is engineered for any organisation facing similar challenges. We see identical hurdles across a vast range of sectors—from manufacturing plants and industrial warehouses to food processing facilities and data centres.
If you have an underutilised or ageing asset that is hindering your path to decarbonisation, Saber Renewable Energy Ltd can apply this exact Blended PPA model. We help you to modernise your infrastructure, improve energy efficiency, and deploy renewable generation simultaneously.
The Strategic Business Case
The benefits extend far beyond immediate cost savings. By integrating site remediation with renewable energy, you are making a strategic investment in the future of your business. This approach allows you to:
