EV chargers for commercial use
The government’s Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) grant offers £350 per socket for up to maximum of 40 sockets across all sites for each application. The grant is open for applications from eligible businesses, charities, and public sector organisations. You must use an EV charger installer authorised by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

As an OZEV-authorised EV charger, Barton Knight can install, commission and service your charging points.

We will also guide you through the grant applications.

Residential and commercial developments
Increasingly EV chargers are forming part of new developments as local authorities mandate adoption. We have completed many high profile residential and commercial developments which incorporate the latest car charging technologies.

How does it work?

Step 1

Contact us to discuss your requirements - we will discuss your current energy usage, systems, and tariffs, budget, timescales, and any low-carbon goals.

Step 2

We will visit your property to assess its suitability for various options - size, access, age, insulation, number of/proximity to other properties, and your existing systems will all influence our recommendation. We will also advise and assist with any relevant applications for government grant funding or to eg UK Power Networks/National Grid if required.

Step 3

Once a solution has been agreed, we will arrange an installation date and timescale at your convenience. Depending on the system you have chosen, we will advise on any preparation required - typically this is minimal.

Step 4

Once the system has been installed and tested, we will walk you through the controls and give you a thorough handover, along with all operating and maintenance and warranty documents.

FAQs for organisations

The UK funding landscape has moved away from broad national grant schemes. Most funding is now delivered through a mix of targeted grants, regional programs and private finance.

The National Wealth Fund offers £27.8 billion for transformational UK projects in the form of loans, guarantees and equity for private sector and local government.

Major lenders now offer a suite of green finance products tailored to sustainability projects, from solar and battery storage to wider energy infrastructure, for example Lloyds Clean Growth Financing, Barclays Green Loans and  NatWest Green Loans.  These are not standard loans, they are designed to reward sustainable investment, often with lower interest rates, reduced fees and incentives linked to environmental performance:

For those looking to reduce upfront costs, the rise of funded delivery models has been a game changer. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) allow businesses to install renewable energy without upfront costs, with a third party taking on the investment, installation and maintenance. In return, the business purchases the electricity generated at a fixed, typically discounted rate. The result is immediate savings, reduced exposure to volatile energy prices and a clear pathway to decarbonisation, without tying up capital.

Tax reliefs and capital allowances can also significantly improve green energy project economics. By allowing businesses to offset investment costs against taxable profits, these mechanisms shorten payback periods and enhance returns.

At the grant level, opportunities like the Boiler Upgrade scheme can offer up to £7,500 to upgrade gas or oil boilers to more efficient and lower carbon options: Apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: Overview – GOV.UK.

The Warm Homes Plan will offer free upgrades for low income households and cheap loans via banks to other households to  install  solar PV, batteries, insulation and heat pumps.

Residential customers can also take advantage of  0% interest Green Additional Borrowing Mortgages offered by banks like NatWest to make energy efficiency improvements to homes: Green Mortgages | Energy Efficient Homes | NatWest

ESOS reporting applies to UK companies and UK operations of overseas groups with  250 or more employees or a turnover  over £44 million and a balance sheet over £38 million. Firms that fall into this category need to complete energy audits every four years.

SECR applies to UK companies listed on stock exchanges or those which have two of the following: 250 employees or more, a turnover of over £36 million or a  balance sheet over £18 million. These firms must add energy, carbon and efficiency disclosures to their annual report, report their greenhouse gas emissions, include an energy intensity metric and describe energy efficiency actions they are taking.
