Move your energy project from stalled to installed.
Because we speak kW as well as £.
Many energy-saving projects make sense technically but never get approved internally. Locataire helps structure funding around the expected savings so viable projects have a better chance of moving forward.
Why Energy Projects Stall
Capex committees say no to technically viable projects
Projects compete against other capital priorities. Even when an energy project delivers operational savings, internal approval may stall because it competes with other capital expenditure requests.
Finance brokers don't understand the project
Many finance providers do not understand energy projects. Traditional finance structures often focus only on the asset being funded rather than the operational savings and commercial outcomes of the wider project.
Multi-technology projects fall through the gaps
Multi-technology projects are difficult to structure. Projects combining technologies such as solar, LED upgrades and power factor correction may not fit standard lending categories.
Savings aren't part of the conversation
Operational savings are often ignored. Traditional lending discussions focus on repayment affordability rather than the projected operational savings generated by the upgrade itself.
The Project Approval Model ™
A different approach to energy project finance.
“The Project Approval Model™ is our way of helping businesses structure energy-saving projects so they are easier to approve internally. Instead of just financing a single asset, we look at how the wider project works commercially, including how different upgrades and savings profiles may work together over time.”
Project-first thinking
We understand how energy efficiency projects are specified, costed and commercially evaluated. Finance should support the project strategy, not dictate it.
Savings-aligned structuring
Repayment structures are modelled against projected operational savings with the aim of supporting commercially sustainable project delivery.
Multi-technology in one facility
Solar, LED upgrades, power factor correction and voltage optimisation projects may be structured within a single facility rather than fragmented across separate finance products.
How combined projects behave commercially.
Different technologies generate operational savings at different stages. By structuring projects together, businesses may create a blended savings profile across the wider upgrade strategy - making the combined project commercially stronger than any single technology alone.
