Financing your energy technologies 

When every pound is being watched and scrutinised, it’s easy to assume onsite energy technologies are a luxury your budget cannot stretch to. But you don’t need a big upfront cheque to be able to deploy them.

We offer a range of flexible financing options, which mean you can move forward with your installation, without any upfront costs. This locks in a predictable price over the lifetime of your contract, and protects your organisation from grid price swings, without any capital investment. Our options include:

This is used to fund new Commercial Solar installations. We’ll install a Solar PV system on your site, often on underutilised roof or ground space, or on a carport. You’ll just pay for the electricity generated by the system, at a c/kWh price that’s lower than grid pricing, over the course of a 15-20 year contract.

We’ll also bundle Operations and Maintenance into the same contract, simplifying your energy strategy and ensuring your Solar PV system is operating at its best. Find out more here.

This is used to fund a new Heat Pump or Combined Heat and Power installation. You’ll pay an agreed c/kWh unit rate for the electricity that’s generated by the installation, over a typical period of 7-15 years. With ongoing maintenance included, you’ll be assured your solution is always working at its best. Find out more here.

As organisations navigate the net zero transition, finding the right balance between cost and carbon targets is critical. Many companies want to retain the cost savings that are delivered by CHP; but they don’t want to commit to a 15-year CHP contract for sustainability reasons. With our CHP Rental-as-a-Service option, you can rent a CHP for around 5 years. Unlike many other financing options, there are no minimum generation obligations, so you won’t be charged for under-usage. You can use the CHP as much or as little as your organisation needs, as your energy strategy evolves. Find out more here.

Onsite energy technology doesn't have to mean a big upfront bill. With Centrica Business Solutions' flexible financing options, you can get your installation moving with zero capital investment — locking in predictable costs and protecting your budget from grid price swings, for the long haul.

And you don’t need upfront capital to get started. Our flexible financing options mean you can unlock savings and control without any capital expenditure.

Sectors who can benefit from our solutions  

Our integrated energy solutions help a range of sectors to meet their energy cost and carbon goals.

You need energy solutions that drive performance. Not just technology, but a strategic partner who understands manufacturing, aligns with your commercial goals, and delivers integrated energy solutions that reduce cost, carbon and risk.

Because behind every production line, the pressure is growing. Energy costs are climbing, sustainability targets are fixed, and any downtime can mean thousands in lost revenue. With margins under pressure, protecting profitability means finding smarter ways to manage energy spend, while continuing to deliver against your sustainability and resilience goals. With onsite energy generation solutions from Centrica Business Solutions, you can find the right balance between planet and profit.

You’re on the production line, surrounded by the rhythm of operations as new food and drink products roll out. But beneath the surface, the pressure is intensifying. Energy bills are climbing, sustainability targets are fixed, and every moment of disruption could mean thousands in lost output. The demand is clear: achieve more with less. Less carbon, lower costs, reduced risk. Your team is stretched thin, margins are under strain, and the board wants swift solutions.

What’s needed is an energy strategy that matches your pace. Not just tools, but a partner who truly understands your sector, your pressures, and your ambitions. Someone who can deliver joined-up energy solutions that tackle the core issues facing your food and drink manufacturing site. That’s exactly how Centrica Business Solutions can help.

Data centres are the beating heart of the digital economy, but they’re facing an energy crisis. With AI workloads surging and ever-increasing demand for energy, grid constraints and soaring costs are pushing operators to the brink. Delays in grid connections and fragmented energy strategies are leaving many data centres vulnerable to outages and missed growth opportunities.

Centrica Business Solutions offers onsite energy generation solutions that turn energy from a risk into a strategic asset. With our behind-the-meter energy solutions, we’re helping data centres stay online, cut carbon and control costs, all without compromising uptime.

In healthcare, energy isn’t just a utility. It’s a lifeline that keeps operating theatres and life-saving equipment running. Yet across both the HSE and private healthcare sectors, many estates are grappling with ageing infrastructure and rising energy costs that threaten both budgets and patient care. When the lights flicker, so does confidence.

Centrica Business Solutions is helping healthcare providers take back control, with onsite energy generation solutions that keep the power flowing and the focus where it belongs: on healing. With tailored support and flexible funding, even stretched healthcare facilities can futureproof their estates and protect the people who rely on them most.

Leisure centres and tourist destinations are struggling with rising energy costs. From gyms and swimming pools, to theme parks, zoos and heritage sites – businesses are looking for new ways to increase efficiency and reduce their energy consumption, as well as new ways of funding much-needed energy infrastructure upgrades.

At the same time, consumers are demanding greener credentials. But the ability for leisure providers to reduce carbon emissions is often hampered by financial pressures. Against such a challenging backdrop, some leisure companies have found themselves at risk of closing down. Centrica Business Solutions is helping the sector balance planet and profit, ensuring leisure and tourism sites remain sustainable and resilient.
