Structuring Solutions with Clarity and Confidence

Structured solutions are tailored financial and risk management tools designed to address specific needs in the energy and environmental markets. These may include structured power purchase agreements (PPAs), carbon-linked financing, green derivatives, or multi-commodity hedging. Such instruments help organisations manage market volatility, stabilise energy costs, and finance clean energy projects more effectively in a rapidly evolving regulatory and pricing landscape.

Structured solutions support renewable energy procurement by providing flexible, customised contract models, such as fixed-for-floating PPAs, collar agreements, or price floor mechanisms. These help businesses secure long-term price certainty while sourcing electricity from renewable providers. In the UK and across Europe, structured procurement options have become essential for managing the complexity of renewable energy markets and achieving long-term carbon reduction goals.

Structured finance products—such as carbon-linked loans, green-backed credit facilities, and performance-based instruments—enable businesses to finance and scale their decarbonisation initiatives with more control over terms and outcomes. These solutions are often used to support energy efficiency upgrades, low-carbon technology adoption, and renewable infrastructure investments, especially in sectors exposed to energy price fluctuations or regulatory pressures in the UK and EU.

Structured carbon solutions provide businesses with flexible ways to manage compliance under schemes like the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) and the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). These might include forward contracts, carbon swaps, or bundled credit portfolios. By using structured approaches, companies can gain cost predictability, mitigate price risks, and better align their purchasing strategy with internal carbon management objectives.

Structured solutions play a key role in the energy transition by helping organisations bridge the gap between long-term climate targets and the financial and operational realities of moving away from fossil fuels. They offer the flexibility to navigate volatile energy markets, adapt to changing regulatory requirements, and support investment in clean energy infrastructure. In the UK and European markets, structured solutions are increasingly used to make the energy transition more financially viable and scalable.
