Praeter is an independent consultancy specialising in the development and delivery of renewable energy projects on rooftops, in car parks and on unused sites. We guide you through the entire process, from concept to completion.
At Praeter, we take pride in our well-trained, enthusiastic, and practical team, collectively possessing extensive experience in project development, sustainability solutions, and corporate business.
Praeter is always on the client’s side — we advise and engage parties completely independently, and we never charge money to parties we engage. You are the only one we charge for our services.
Our values in practice
Five core principles that guide every project, every client relationship, and every decision we make.
Independent
At Praeter we provide independent advice and never accept kick-backs or reimbursements from parties we engage. We work exclusively for our client; that is the only one we charge for services.
High Quality
We offer solutions that really help our clients achieve lower energy costs and more sustainable energy use. We choose the best and proven solution for the customer, not the most popular. Our people have specialist knowledge and we are deepening and broadening it every day.
Trustworthy
We make clear agreements with clients and honour them. We specify costs and benefits in advance and offer a clear plan of action. We want our clients to really understand the matter and are happy to explain it. And we not only provide advice, but also help our clients to implement it.
Teamwork
We bring together people with different expertise and experiences and combine this into a multidisciplinary and professional service to our clients. We offer our people a rich and educational working environment aimed at continually improving in providing superior services to entrepreneurs. And that in a profession that makes the world very happy. That’s hard work, so it can also be a lot of fun: “work hard, play hard!”
Innovative
We are constantly looking for proven new innovative solutions and ways of working (together). We continuously work on improving and innovating our services.
Finally, we provide service with a smile, because energy sustainability makes us happy!
The people behind Praeter
A leading and cohesive team of energy experts that charts its own course and excels in long-term support for its relationships — for which we solve energy challenges.
Built and validated in NL. Deployed and delivered in the UK.
