PPA

How does a Solar power purchase agreement work?

JLM Energy will install a solar PV system at your premises at no cost to your business. Then supply the electricity produced to you at a lower cost than grid price, over a fixed term. Meaning reduced operating costs and predictability.

Power Purchase Agreements with Added Value

JLM Energy, provide Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) that go beyond just solar.
Our PPA model can include essential infrastructure upgrades such as new roofing or commercial air source heat pumps—all with zero upfront cost.
If your existing roof is in poor condition, we can integrate the cost of a replacement within your PPA, allowing you to benefit from upgraded energy infrastructure without additional expense. Plus, with a 25-year warranty on both the new roof and solar PV system, you enjoy long-term reliability and complete peace of mind.

A Smarter Approach to Renewable Energy

Our PPA solutions enable businesses to: Upgrade infrastructure without capital investment Access clean, affordable solar energy at a fixed, competitive rate Benefit from a fully managed solution, with no maintenance costs

Integrated Renewable Heating – Zero Upfront Cost

Looking to move away from gas heating? Our UK manufactured air source heat pumps can be installed as part of your PPA, providing an efficient, low-carbon alternative that works seamlessly with your new solar PV system. By combining solar PV with renewable heating, your business can transition to a fully sustainable energy solution. This reduces both operational costs and carbon emissions —all with no capital investment.

2. Asset Financing

Asset Financing

JLM can introduce your business to asset finance providers who fully understand the renewables market. It’s a strategic way to fund investments in renewable energy technologies like solar PV, air-source heat pump systems, battery storage and voltage optimisation systems.

By using the newly installed systems as collateral, you can secure loans that might otherwise be unavailable through traditional unsecured lending.

This financing model focuses on the value of the renewable assets themselves rather than solely on your profitability or balance sheet, making it easier to manage initial investment costs and capitalise on the operational savings generated by the new systems.

3. Private Wire PPA

Private Wire PPA

Private Wire PPAs allow businesses to purchase electricity directly from the source, such as an on-site or near-site solar farm, eliminating middlemen and associated non-commodity charges.

Ideal for companies with high energy demand, this setup has no upfront cost and the cost per megawatt decreases as demand grows, offering an effective path to cost-efficient renewable energy usage.

This direct connection helps stabilise energy costs by avoiding market volatility and supports businesses in achieving their carbon-neutral objectives.

4. Sleeved PPA

Sleeved PPA

A sleeved Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) enables businesses or local authorities, particularly those in urban settings without their own land for solar installations, to connect directly to solar farms across the UK.

Businesses benefit from choosing between fixed and variable energy tariffs, which helps in achieving long-term energy goals and reducing energy costs significantly.

And for every solar farm you connect to, JLM facilitates the creation of additional solar farms, continuously expanding the UK’s solar capacity.

PPAs also facilitate a company’s transition to renewable energy, aiding in achieving carbon-neutral objectives by securing a stable, long-term supply of green power. The financial structure of PPAs often results in immediate cost savings, providing price stability and the potential for lower energy costs over the life of the agreement.
What is asset finance and how can it help my business invest in renewables?
Asset finance is a valuable financial tool that allows businesses to use their renewable energy installations, like solar PV and air source heat pumps, as collateral to secure loans. This approach not only helps to overcome the upfront cost barriers associated with renewable technology investment but also aligns the repayment terms with the expected energy savings over time. This makes asset finance particularly suitable for businesses looking to enhance their sustainability profiles without impacting their cash flow.
Can financing help my business if we don’t have a lot of capital to invest upfront?
Yes, by offering various financing mechanisms, including leases and power purchase agreements, we enable businesses to start benefiting from renewable technologies immediately without significant upfront investment. The costs associated with these investments are often covered by the savings generated from reduced energy expenditures, making these projects financially viable and attractive even for businesses with limited available capital.
What types of renewable energy projects are most suitable for financing through JLM?
Financing through JLM is suitable for a wide range of renewable energy projects, particularly those involving solar PV systems, air source heat pumps, and other green technologies that require substantial initial investments.
