• Eden Sustainable founding

• Zero Capital Solution - “You receive reduced price electrcitiy (up to 35% lower than your current unit rate)for up to 25 years. Eden Sustainable leases your roof space, and receives the revenue from selling you electricity via a Power Purchase Agreement.
• Sleeving - “In a sleeved PPA, an intermediary utility company handles the transfer of money and energy to and from a renewable energy (RE) project on behalf of the buyer. The utility takes the energy directly from the RE project and “sleeves” it to the buyer at its point of intake, for a fee. If the purchased renewable energy isn’t enough to meet the buyer’s energy needs, the utility is also responsible for supplying the additional power required.”
