HYDRO




Flexible Funding for Sustainable Hydroelectric Projects

At Business Finance Trust, we help businesses, landowners, and developers access tailored finance for hydroelectric projects — supporting the move to clean, renewable energy without the upfront financial strain.

Whether you’re installing a new hydro system, upgrading existing infrastructure, or seeking to improve energy independence, our team provides trusted advice and flexible finance solutions to support your goals.


WHAT IS HYDRO FINANCE


Hydro Finance enables you to fund the purchase, installation, or upgrade of hydroelectric systems — spreading the cost over time while benefiting from renewable energy generation and long-term savings.

Typical projects we support include:

✅ Small-scale hydroelectric installations (run-of-river, micro-hydro)

✅ Upgrades to existing hydro systems for improved efficiency

✅ Rural or agricultural hydro schemes

✅ Energy storage combined with hydro generation


Hydro systems offer reliable, low-emission energy , but installation requires significant investment. We structure finance to make these projects achievable, with terms aligned to your revenue and sustainability targets.


WHAT WE OFFER


✅ Hydroelectric Project Finance
  • Funding for new micro-hydro or run-of-river systems
  • Suitable for rural estates, farms, and commercial landowners
  • Flexible repayment terms to align with system payback period

✅ Hydro System Upgrade Finance
  • Finance to modernise or expand existing hydroelectric schemes
  • Support for efficiency upgrades, new turbines, or control systems

✅ Combined Renewable & Energy Storage Solutions
  • Finance available for hydro projects alongside battery storage or complementary renewables
  • Structured packages for maximum energy efficiency and cost savings
