It is expected that there will be 10 million solar power units on buildings by 2020 and the UK already has a global reputation in green energy fields, such as wind, and emerging technologies, such as wave and tidal.

When renewable energy projects are created, they also create associated economic value for the wider supply chain – from logistics through to supply. This is magnified when projects are community owned and benefits can be funnelled back into the community.

For businesses looking to expand in the renewable energy space, there is a vast amount of opportunity, from R&D through to microgeneration installation. Supply of parts, education and training, maintenance and servicing of plants and staff training are all associated renewables sectors gaining traction.

Investing to grow

For renewable energy businesses, investment and a solid business plan are the keys to success. Ambition requires delivery and capital, but most businesses are wary of using their working capital and leaving the operation at risk from any unforeseen financial events; however, many traditional big lenders are still making it needlessly difficult for business customers to borrow the sums they need to invest, thrive and grow.
