Corporate & Portfolio Consultancy
For corporate groups who need execution — concept to commissioning, across portfolio and pipeline.
PER-PROJECT OR PORTFOLIO RETAINER · CONCEPT TO COMMISSIONING · ONE PARTNER, END TO END
For a corporate group, energy is not a decision — it’s a programme. You have an existing portfolio of sites with varying ages, loads, tariffs, and lease terms, and likely a development pipeline of new builds, refurbishments, and expansions — each carrying an energy decision best made before the slab is poured, not after.
That programme can’t be run from a procurement file. It needs an energy partner who sits inside the property, development, and finance conversations from the beginning — and stays there until every site is producing power.
Where corporate energy programmes stall
Coordination & workflow
Concept-to-power involves 8+ workstreams with dependencies and deadlines. Across a portfolio, this multiplies.
Site variation
The right answer for the flagship is rarely right for the satellite.
Capital & balance-sheet
Some sites suit owned assets, others PPAs, some suit waiting. The wrong default across every site costs material money.
Pipeline integration
Solar designed in at architectural stage costs a fraction of solar retrofitted three years later.
Governance & reporting
Boards and audit committees expect a coherent strategy, not five EPC quotations stapled together.
Time & bandwidth
No FD, COO, or property executive has the bandwidth to run an energy programme alongside the day job.
Two contracted structures, same scope
The difference is how we are resourced — and how the group prefers to commit.
Per-Project Service Fee
One project, one scope, one fee, agreed in writing before work begins. Concept to commissioning. Suited to groups testing the engagement, or with a single high-priority project.
Portfolio Retainer
Continuous engagement across existing sites, the development pipeline, and any project arising during the term. Dedicated bandwidth — the in-house energy team you don’t have to build. Suited to property, hotel, retail groups, listed funds, and multi-site corporates.
Both structures sit under a contracted services agreement. Fees are agreed in writing per client, scoped to the project, portfolio size, pipeline, and resourcing — indicative terms shared on request once an NDA is in place.
What the engagement covers
Strategy & assessment
Portfolio-level energy assessment per site, strategic recommendation on technology mix and commercial structure, capital and tax-structuring inputs (S12B, ownership structures, balance-sheet impact).
Procurement & funding
EPC procurement from the 55-network, funding origination across 32 funders + direct bank relationships, negotiation in your interest on term lengths, escalation, end-of-term, buy-out, cession, force majeure.
Delivery & commissioning
Build programme monitored, snags resolved, EPC accountability maintained, sign-offs managed, commissioning and hand-over documented, post-commissioning support through the first month.
Governance & reporting
Programme dashboards per project, board and exco reporting formatted for board papers and audit committees, ESG-aligned documentation and generation data.

Most stop too early. We don’t.
Most consultancies stop at advice. Most EPCs stop at installation. Most funders stop at Financial Close. We don’t stop until every project is signed, funded, on site, and producing power.
Single point of accountability
One principal contact named at engagement. The single accountable interface from brief to commissioning.
Relationships, not contact lists
55-EPC network and 32-funder panel — built over years where trust has been earned and execution has been tested.
Through the first month
We stay involved through commissioning and the first month of operation — until savings are landing as modelled.
