Energy Efficiency Financing
Investment in energy efficient equipment makes sound business and environmental sense, especially with the Energy Efficiency Financing scheme provided by the Carbon Trust and Siemens Financial Services.
Carbon Trust Implementation Services and Siemens Financial Services have combined forces, and together are offering financing options to all types of organisations, who have been trading for more than 36 months and are seeking to reduce their own energy use. New, more efficient equipment should lower energy bills and with financing payments calculated so that they can be offset by anticipated energy savings, the financing option is designed to pay for itself. The independent carbon saving assessment is undertaken by Carbon Trust Implementation Services while the financing is provided by Siemens Financial Services.
Financing can be arranged directly by the customer or through the scheme's recognised suppliers.

Renewable Energy Finance
From our position as the UK's largest independent provider of finance to the rural market place, Peregrine was perfectly placed to meet the influx of interest in the renewable energy sector head on with a range of offers.
We are specialist providers of Asset Finance solutions to the renewable energy sector. Asset Finance is the method by which most farms or businesses will finance plant, equipment and machinery. Asset Finance is also sometimes referred to as 'unsecured lending' and by this we mean that no security is taken over the farm or businesses, just the same as if financing a tractor or combine harvester for example.
We offer renewable energy finance in the form of Hire Purchase, Loan or Lease agreements in this sector for the financing of solar panels, wind turbines, biomass systems and other heating systems.
Our Clients
Our Asset Finance schemes are aimed almost soley at trading farming enterprises whether it be arable, dairy, mixed livestock or intensive. We can also offer the same fantastic Asset Finance terms to strong and historical commercial businesses such as franchised motor dealerships for example.
Please note that none of our Asset Finance schemes are designed for small holders, crofters, private individuals or developers.
Our Relationships
Whilst a large number of manufacturers, main agents and suppliers recommend our services to their clients, we also work in conjunction with land agents, farming cooperatives and advisors in conjunction with their clients.
Our Terms
Whether written up on a loan, hire purchase or lease agreement the majority of our asset finance packages for renewable projects tend to be in the 8.4% APR region. We can finance up to 72 months and the standard document fee is only £100.
