I've just stumbled across an American company that has the perfect business model for installing domestic or business renewable energy.
It's an Energy Services Company (ESCo) model, that goes two steps further than either WindSave's model or the Woking Council model, in taking ALL the hassle out of having a renewable electricity supply for your building, while guaranteeing a price for 25 years that's competitive with brown electricity. Here's the blurb on their web site:
Citizenrē REnU program packages solar power for you in a simple and smart way. Plainly put, the Citizenrē Corporation pays for, installs, owns and operates the solar installation.
You don’t have to worry about maintaining the equipment or any of the other concerns that come with making an investment into solar power.
All you are required to do is pay for the electricity generated from these panels, at a fixed rate that is at or below your current electricity price, for up to twenty-five years.
Well. Small print aside, I'd buy that. Who wouldn't? A no risk, no hassle, service arrangement.
I hope this business model can work (I assume they've crunched their figures) we'll soon see some British companies try and roll a similar offer out.
