Why UK businesses should invest in renewable energy
Businesses and organisations in the UK face the highest energy bills in Europe, making investments in renewable energy solutions even more profitable.
UK commercial property offers significant renewable energy potential through on-site generation, storage, and smarter energy use.
The UK has a strong ambition for renewable energy adoption, supported by robust government backing for renewable initiatives.
The UK has set an industry-wide target of 70 GW by 2035. As of the end of 2025, the installed capacity stood at 20 GW. Only 25% of target has been realised so far.

Frequently asked questions
Thinking about renewable energy for your buildings? These are the questions we hear most, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, just reach out — we're always happy to talk it through.
What does an independent renewable energy consultancy do?
We assess your buildings' renewable energy potential, build the technical and financial case, and manage delivery from tender to handover — independently of installers and manufacturers, so the advice stays impartial and in your interest.
Is renewable energy worth it for UK businesses?
For many commercial sites, renewable energy can cut energy bills, create new revenue and support net zero targets. A feasibility study confirms the right technologies and numbers for your specific site before you commit.
Do I need to own the building to invest in renewable energy?
Not always. Owners, long-leaseholders and tenants can all explore options, though the right structure — and any landlord agreement — depends on your lease. We help you find a workable route for your situation.
How long does a typical renewable energy project take?
It varies with scope, but a typical journey runs from an initial scan and feasibility study through to installation over several months. We set out a clear timeline up front so you know what to expect at each stage.
Is Praeter tied to any installer or manufacturer?
No. Praeter is fully independent. We run competitive tenders and oversee delivery on your behalf, so technology and supplier decisions are made in your interest rather than a vendor's.
How do I get started?
The best first step is a Portfolio Scan or a short conversation with our team. Get in touch and we'll recommend the right starting point for your estate.
