In the latest Getting to Net Zero report by Burges Salmon LLP, Atrato’s Francisca Wiggins discusses the challenges and solutions found in implementing on-site energy such as future proofing, investor and regulatory pressures, and the age-old debate of cost vs return.
“Corporates are very aware of the need to do something about their Net Zero agenda. Rooftop solar is the best suited to on-site use… It is a visible and uncontroversial way of doing things. By contrast, onshore wind is more site-specific and can also have planning constraints.”
In covering these topics, Francisca also touched on the commercial arrangement known as a power purchase agreement (PPA) which our client Atrato Onsite Energy uses with its customers as a way of recouping installation costs:
“We fund solar by entering into a PPA of generally around 20 to 25 years, so our customers make a saving without having to pay for the upfront capex. Everyone is looking at ways of reducing and fixing energy prices, as a result of the price volatility. We offer not just a cheaper but a fixed price solution.”
