Centrica Business Solutions has launched an energy-as-a-service bundle requiring no upfront cost to consumers wanting to install their own power generation.
A typical project would see Centrica design, install and maintain energy solutions alongside the supply of gas and top-up electricity, to deliver guaranteed energy savings. The project would then be repaid from the savings made over the contract term.
Energy-as-a-service deals typically include on-site generation technology such as combined heat and power units (CHP), helping customers to reduce energy costs and improve energy resilience on site, as a result of being less reliant on grid power. In addition, the company will monitor energy usage within the customer’s premises, ensuring the overall mix is optimised.
Centrica says the bundle aims to help businesses recover more quickly in the wake of the economic slowdown as a result of Covid-19.
Alan Barlow, director of UK and Ireland for Centrica Business Solutions, said: “For many organisations, the last few months have been extremely challenging and so reducing costs and improving business resilience will be critical to recovery.
“By helping with the upfront investment in energy solutions, we can support them towards improved energy security and cost savings. Our aim is to support customers who wish to build back better, by transitioning to a sustainable future without the need for significant capital.”
