A multi-building solar programme funded through a Power Purchase Agreement, covering 6 buildings across a 12-acre business park. The PPA structure delivered immediate energy savings with zero capital expenditure from the landlord.
The Challenge
The landlord wanted to improve the park's green credentials and reduce service charge electricity costs, but could not justify the £1.2m capital outlay for a multi-building solar programme. Individual tenants had varying lease terms, creating complexity in cost allocation and consent.
Our Solution
Bee Solar structured a 20-year PPA with a specialist green infrastructure investor who owns the systems and sells electricity to the park at a fixed rate 30% below grid prices. A master metering and billing system was implemented to transparently allocate solar supply between common areas and participating tenants.
Project Results
£0 capital expenditure from the landlord
Service charge electricity costs reduced by 30% immediately
