What’s holding manufacturers back?

  • Energy price volatility erodes margins and complicates planning.
  • Net Zero and ESG commitments demand measurable progress—without derailing core growth projects.
  • Capital constraints slow down decarbonisation, even when the business case is clear.

Our Third Party Funding solution removes those barriers. You gain clean, reliable energy at a pre-agreed price, with zero upfront investment, so you can protect capital for strategic priorities while accelerating sustainability outcomes.

What this means for you

  • Cost certainty: Pay less than market rates for on-site renewable heat and power.
  • Zero-capex deployment: We fund, design, install, own and maintain the system for 10–20 years.
  • Operational resilience: Secure on-site generation and reduce exposure to grid volatility.
  • Carbon reduction at scale: A 1MW renewable thermal system can cut >1,000 tonnes CO₂ per year.
  • Faster time-to-benefit: Recent policy changes (e.g., CMP446 in England & Wales) streamline grid connections for solar projects under 5MW—so you can go live sooner.

Simple and efficient process

1. Initial Contact

We review your site, suitability, demand profile and energy data.

2. Feasibility study

You receive indicative system design, commercial terms and an energy price locked for the contract duration.

3. Approvals & design

We manage planning, grid approvals and detailed engineering.

4. Installation & commissioning

Our team delivers the system end-to-end; you start paying only when generation begins.

5. Operate with confidence

We own and maintain the asset; you consume energy at the agreed price. Ownership transfers to you at the end of the term at no additional cost, with an early buy-back option after year one.

Typical outcomes for Pharma & Food & Beverage sites

  • Lower, predictable OPEX for heat and power
  • Verified CO₂ reductions aligned to corporate Net Zero pathways
  • Improved business continuity with on-site generation
  • No diversion of capex from core manufacturing investments

Frequently asked questions

Who would own and maintain the assets?

Until the final payment was made, Projective would own and maintain the assets.

Who pays for the initial study?

Projective pay for the initial review and normally all further studies needed, subject to data availability and complexity.

What happens if I cannot take all the power or heat generated?

The contract is a take or pay mechanism so the client will pay for all energy generated, Projective will check the site can consume all the energy during the study.

How do I know my roof are suitable for solar?

Projective will assess this during the design phase. Alternative technologies such as light weight films can be used on non-load bearing roof structures.

Who insures the system and what is the fire and other potential risks?

All systems are designed to national and international standards. Projective shall insure the equipment, however the customer must continue to insure their buildings. Projective will ensure approval from the customers insurers as part of the design.

Is the cost of energy generated constant over the term of the contract?

Typically the cost raises with inflation each year to allow for maintenance. For Thermal systems the price is linked to the site electrical costs and thermal output costs will vary if the site electrical cost vary.

How can I lower the cost of renewable thermal energy?

Combining a renewable thermal and renewable power project will lower the cost of thermal energy at site as the renewable electrical power generated would be at a lower cost than grid power and would discount the site overall energy cost.

Is buying “Green Gas” certificates (RGGO) a lower cost alternative?

This depends on the volume of certificates you are buying, their source and your geographical location. Many locations have limited supply of green gas sources and demand for these volumes are very high from high temperature thermal uses who are buying in large volumes. Currently these are more expensive in smaller volumes and demand is likely to increase costs.
