Sustainable energy solutions

DAC Beachcroft's multi-disciplinary team provides an integrated service guiding clients through all the elements necessary to grow their business in this evolving area.

Our advice ranges from setting up corporate structures for green-tech start ups and Government incentives, through to delivery of large scale sustainability projects.

Our UK and international offering is supported by a comprehensive international network of offices and associate partners.

Servicing the sustainability market

Many companies are in the process of developing green-tech products and services, from heat pumps to biomass boilers and are hoping to grow rapidly as the market matures. Our dedicated team provide the corporate advice to assist your growth plans, advise on intellectual property to protect your innovations and provide commercial advice to ensure beneficial contract arrangements.

Building a sustainable organisation

Whether your require advice on image rights, energy consumption the Carbon Reduction Commitment or a desire to take advantage of Government incentives such as Feed-in-Tariffs, we provide clarity and a commercial focus on how to reduce your carbon output within an often confusing environment of competing agendas. We advise on Energy Performance Contracting (a method of de-risking carbon reduction), legislation, incentives and technology supply and installation contracts and for the public sector the setting up of district Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) to help you achieve your corporate goals.

Investing in a sustainable future

Significant capital investment in new plant and equipment requires significant investment funds and the market is responding to this requirement and attractive rates of return through a range of sources, from private individuals through to pension funds and innovative funds mixing private and public capital. We assist investors considering involvement in specific projects as well as categories of projects, such as those supported through Government incentives.

Shaping a sustainable built environment

As the built environment is responsible for a significant proportion of our carbon emissions, providing advice in relation to sustainable new and existing buildings is at the heart of our practice. We help client's understand and negotiate the sustainability planning requirements and advise on ESCOs, distributed heat and electricity arrangements and large scale community sustainable infrastructure on residential and commercial developments. We have hands-on experience of landmark sustainability energy projects.

Large scale new plant and infrastructure increasingly forms part of the solution as we look to increase our energy security whilst taking life expired power stations off-line. We offer advice in relation to the delivery of wind, solar, waste to energy and other projects that increase generation of renewable energy in the UK.

Through our significant experience and reach in the sector we are able to help shape the industry’s future for your benefit, working closely with leading thinkers and industry bodies such as the Zero Carbon Hub and Home Builder’s Federation.

 We are also involved in a number of industry task-groups, formulating new policy around carbon compliance and community energy infrastructure.
