Funding and planning integrated from day one
We structure funding and planning alongside engineering to prevent delays and budget escalation. Grant strategy, planning pathway and grid connection are scoped during feasibility, not after design.
Grant strategy and application management
Mapping eligible grant routes against the programme phasing, structuring applications for award, and managing the reporting commitments through delivery.
Planning pathway development
Pre application engagement, route to consent strategy, planning narrative and supporting technical evidence prepared in parallel with engineering design.
Grid connection strategy
Connection feasibility, network operator engagement, capacity strategy and timing alignment with the wider capital programme.
Engineering and finance in one team
We structure funding and planning alongside engineering so the investment case, grant route and consent pathway move together. This avoids the rework, delays and budget escalation that follow when funding is treated as a separate workstream.
How funding strategy moves through an engagement
Eligibility mapping
Sector, technology and capex envelope mapped against active and forthcoming UK and European funding instruments.
Pathway design
Selected instruments are sequenced against the programme phasing, with planning and grid milestones aligned to award conditions.
Application
We prepare and manage applications, supporting evidence and stakeholder engagement through to award.
Drawdown and reporting
Drawdown management, compliance reporting and performance verification through delivery and into operation.
Funding outcomes from recent engagements
“The grant strategy was sequenced with the planning route, which removed two months of float from the programme and protected the original capex envelope.”
“They prepared the funding case alongside the engineering options appraisal so we never had to rework the investment thesis when we secured the grant.”
“Grid feasibility was on the table from week one, which changed our preferred technology mix before the design was committed.”
