Funding and financial support for renewable energy
For many organisations, funding is the difference between ambition and action. Heliaxis supports organisations across Wales by helping them understand funding options, define technically robust project scopes and deliver compliant renewable energy solutions.
Discuss Funding OptionsWhy funding-led projects require specialist support
Funding programmes are designed to deliver outcomes — not just installations. Whether the objective is carbon reduction, economic development, fuel poverty mitigation or energy resilience, funders expect projects to demonstrate clear alignment with programme goals.
Heliaxis helps mitigate risks by combining technical expertise with practical delivery experience. We understand what funders look for and how projects must be structured to succeed.
Common challenges in funding-led projects:
Supporting local authority renewable projects
Local authorities play a central role in delivering decarbonisation across public estates and local communities. Renewable energy projects within councils often sit alongside broader objectives such as cost reduction, carbon compliance, social value and long-term asset management.
SPF-aligned renewable energy delivery
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) is designed to support local investment priorities, including decarbonisation, energy efficiency and economic resilience. SPF-funded projects often focus on delivering tangible outcomes within defined geographic areas.
Because SPF programmes often involve tight timelines, early technical clarity is essential. Heliaxis helps ensure that projects move from approval to delivery without unnecessary delays.
How we support SPF projects:
Funding support for housing associations
Housing associations often rely on a combination of funding sources to support decarbonisation of housing stock. These may include government grants, regional funding programmes and internal capital budgets.
Funding-led challenges:
- Diverse property types and conditions
- Tenant engagement and disruption considerations
- Compliance with safety and housing standards
- Reporting against carbon and social outcomes
How we help:
- Aligning funding requirements with practical delivery
- Advising on phased approaches
- Balancing ambition with feasibility
- Supporting reporting and compliance
Private sector funding & finance
For commercial organisations, funding may take the form of internal capital investment, asset finance, green finance products or grant support where available.
Heliaxis helps private sector clients by clarifying technical scope and expected outcomes, supporting financial modelling assumptions, and ensuring systems are designed to deliver realistic returns.
Our role is not to advise on financial products, but to ensure that the technical foundations of projects support informed financial decision-making.
Aligning funding with technical delivery
One of the most common reasons funding-led projects underperform is misalignment between funding assumptions and technical reality.
Heliaxis ensures:
- Feasibility assessments are realistic
- Constraints are identified early
- Scope reflects deliverable outcomes
- Risks are clearly communicated
Documentation, compliance and reporting
Funding bodies typically require robust documentation to demonstrate compliance and outcomes. Heliaxis provides documentation suitable for audit and reporting as part of our delivery process.
Feed-in Tariff & SEG
Many funded projects involve upgrading or interacting with existing systems, including those installed under the Feed-in Tariff. These systems require careful handling to ensure continued eligibility.
