What kinds of finance are available?

Businesses can fund energy projects in a variety of ways. 

Some providers offer traditional lending products, such as bank loans and green loans, while others provide alternative financing models designed specifically for energy and equipment projects. 

Many alternative finance providers also support project implementation, performance monitoring and ongoing optimisation, helping businesses access technical expertise alongside funding. 

These financing options can help businesses progress energy projects while managing capital constraints, cash flow and investment priorities.

  • Bank loans

    Borrowing funds and repaying them over an agreed period.

  • Green loans

    Lending products designed to support eligible sustainability and emissions reduction projects.

  • Lease-to-own

    Spreading payments over time, with ownership typically transferring at the end of the term.

  • Operating leases

    Using equipment for an agreed period while the provider retains ownership.

  • Energy-as-a-Service

    A provider funds, installs and may operate equipment, with payments linked to usage or service outcomes.

  • Performance-based financing

    Repayment structures linked to project performance, energy savings or other agreed outcomes.

  • No upfront capital models

    Allowing projects to proceed without significant upfront investment by the customer.
