Improve your building’s EPC rating

Our solar energy solutions immediately improve your building’s EPC rating and offers a material reduction in your carbon footprint with real time data that you can both quantify and report. 

02

Economic savings

Our power purchase agreement (PPA) rates lock in a low cost of electricity for the long term, offering significant savings versus buying electricity from the grid.

We offer a complete renewables solution. We handle planning, grid connection, installation, and lifetime maintenance.

8-12 weeks installation time

Installation time for a typical rooftop site is 8-12 weeks, with minimal disruption to the building occupier. 

The Atrato Onsite Energy Process

Our highly experienced renewable energy team offers a comprehensive design, installation and maintenance service. Atrato Onsite Energy’s offering is fully funded by us and requires zero capex investment from the client. 

The process begins with a technical assessment to evaluate your energy usage, the irradiation at the site and the suitability of the building (where applicable). We then design a fully bespoke solar array and handle all planning permissions and grid connection applications. 

A power purchase agreement (PPA) and a lease for the space are drafted by solicitors and executed. Our solar PV systems are ethically sourced via our module procurement policy, and we work with local contractors that meet our robust health and safety standards. Atrato Onsite Energy is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the system over the lifetime of the PPA and will manage any surplus energy generation, often supplying it back to the grid.​

Notice to Shareholders

Further to the appointment of Richard Barker and Derek Hyslop as Joint Liquidators of the Company on 13 December 2024 and in accordance with the circular issued to shareholders on 27 November 2024 (“the Circular”).

 

The Joint Liquidators confirm that a First Distribution at a rate of £0.775 per Ordinary Share will be paid on 6 February 2025. Shareholders will receive their distribution by CREST or cheque and those cheques will be issued by the Company’s Registrar (Link Asset Services) to the address on the share register as at the Record Date.

Please note that this distribution could have tax consequences which may need to be reflected in your tax return.  If a Shareholder is in any doubt as to their individual tax position, it is recommended that they seek advice from an independent professional advisor.

A second and final distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders prior to the conclusion of the liquidation. Once the Liquidators have concluded the Company’s residual affairs, which includes novation of parental guarantees provided by the Company in relation to its former subsidiary investments, the tax affairs of the Company, satisfaction of claims of creditors of the Company and paid the costs and expenses of the liquidation, it is expected the Liquidators will make a final distribution to Shareholders of the residual cash in the liquidation estate. The final distribution, if any, will be paid at a time to be determined by the Liquidators but is envisaged to be in the region of nine months after the commencement of the liquidation.

A further update will be provided on the website once the timing of the final distribution is known.  In the meantime, if shareholders have any questions in relation to the liquidation they should contact the Liquidators.

Following the commencement of the members’ voluntary liquidation, shareholders are no longer able to trade in the Company’s shares on the London Stock Exchange. The Company will not publish any further regulatory information service announcements and will not produce further financial statements (other than those prepared by the Joint Liquidators and communicated to shareholders under the relevant provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986).
