The Co-operative Bank has an in-house Renewable Energy and Carbon Reduction Finance team specializing in the environmental sector. At The Co-operative Bank we actively seek to facilitate lending to projects within the renewable energy and carbon reduction sectors. We have a track record in funding a wide range of renewable energy projects, with onshore wind being a particular specialism. We have also funded a number of carbon saving schemes where state of the art fuel-efficient systems have drastically cut our customers’ CO2 emissions.

We are interested in funding for UK-based projects with up to £25m debt size with 5-20 year terms. The Co-operative Bank can participate in syndicated facilities and provide expert advice through all stages of the implementation process. The types of projects that we are interested in include: onshore wind, combined heat and power, district heating, hydro, biomass, waste to energy, landfill gas, geothermal/solar, and smart metering – building control systems.
