Introduction to the Scheme

Investing in energy efficient equipment makes sound business and environmental sense, especially with the easy, affordable and flexible Energy Efficiency Financing scheme brought to you by Carbon Trust Implementation Services (CTIS) and Siemens Financial Services.

Carbon Trust Implementation Services and Siemens Financial Services have combined forces, and together are offering leases, loans and other financing options to all types of organisations seeking to reduce their energy use. New, more efficient equipment should lower energy bills and with payments calculated so that they maybe offset by the anticipated energy savings, the financing option is designed to pay for itself.

Financing from as little as £1000 upwards

The scheme is available to all kinds of businesses and organisations. Financing from Siemens Financial Services can be arranged from £1000, and there are potentially no upper limits.

Energy Efficiency Financing is a partnership offering from the Carbon Trust Implementation Services (CTIS) and Siemens Financial Services.

The Carbon Trust's mission is to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy, providing specialist support to organisations to help cut carbon emissions, save energy and commercialise low carbon technologies. A Carbon Trust group company, Carbon Trust Implementation Services Limited (CTIS) will use its expertise in carbon savings from energy efficient technologies to independently assess the carbon, energy and cost savings of any credit approved Energy Efficiency Financing application. All assessments will be based on clear and objective criteria.

Siemens Financial Services’ goal is to enable the affordable acquisition of energy efficient technologies through providing a range of flexible financing solutions for projects under the Energy Efficiency Financing scheme. Siemens Financial Services was selected following an open tender process to partner with the Carbon Trust to provide finance.

Carbon Trust Implementation Services and Siemens Financial Services work with recognised suppliers, providing them with the know how, documentation and tools to support customers’ applications under the scheme.
