These rates are guaranteed for 25 years and are index linked, so you have security of your income as well as free energy during daylight hours.

For recently constructed projects, we can also carry out a range of post-occupancy energy audits, utility tariff reviews, surveys, and monitoring studies that assess performance and identify wastage. We evaluate operational conditions and put in place procedures to ensure plant and BMS and other service/systems are maintained and set up to maximise energy efficiency, including whole-life cycle commissioning and risk-based maintenance strategies.
