DC Green is solving two of the biggest barriers in renewable energy today:
Grid bottlenecks: Utility-scale solar in Central Europe is stalling (73GW of Polish applications were rejected in 2024 vs only 2.4GW built). Our rooftop, behind-the-meter model bypasses curtailment and connection delays.
Landlord adoption: Institutional landlords want renewables, but Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are complex and create IFRS liabilities with balance-sheet exposure. Our structure removes these hurdles, delivering day-one NOI uplift with no CapEx for landlords.
A Novel and Open-Book Approach
The Old Way
Upfront Capex requirements
Lengthy PPAs burden landlords with liabilities and guarantees
Tariff on an "As Produced" basis
Not openbook and not aligned with stakeholders

The DC Green Way
WE pay you contracted rent for your roof
WE share your occupancy risk ("as consumed" tariff)
WE provide 5-year fixed energy tariffs for tenants
No Corporate guarantees required
Interests aligned and openbook
Open market tariff reviews and Cap & Floor for safety
No balance sheet liability
Note: based on DC Green EaaS model, subject to due diligence and contract.

EaaS Proposal
-
Roof lease term of up to 30 years
-
No roof lease breaks (only developmental break)
-
Zero landlord CapEx
-
Green, cheaper than grid energy
-
As “consumed” energy tariff
-
We operate 'Open-Book' with our customers
-
Indexed annually at below inflation
-
5-year fixed tariff and 5-yearly rent reviews
Our proposal takes seasonal and variable revenue streams and gives landlords a secure income stream on commercial real estate leases;
How We Partner
Phase One
Give us a chance to show how our Energy-as-a-Service can work on one asset. We require the following information;
Desktop Analysis
-
Asset details
-
Geo-location
-
Tenancy Schedule (excluding rents)
-
Energy bills
-
15-minute energy consumption data for 12 months
A
You Stay In Control
Our Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) partnership model is designed to scale. Underwriting on a portfolio basis spreads DC Green’s risk and improves terms for our customers.
A Framework Agreement allows us to roll out our EaaS offer on a portfolio basis. Each asset is evaluated individually, while our investment committee will underwrite the commercial terms of our EaaS proposal on an aggregated risk basis.
Operation & Management
DC Green delivers a turn-key solution and this extends to all operational and management matters.
In each instances DC Green will have a generator license, with the right to invoice for green energy consumed on site.
Our Behind-the-Meter solar PV had no grid connection delays and no curtailment constraints.
Phase Two
DC Green are long term owners and managers of renewable energy assets. Best in class technical partners and equipment is selected for all our projects.
The execution of our installation plan is carefully coordinated with our landlord partners. As permitting and licensing is completed, the installation project can be initiated.
Roll Out
Upgrades & Expansion
DC Green are long-term partners and our open book approach to working with landlords means interested are aligned.
As energy partners both DC Green and our landlord partners are incentivised to improve and expand the capacity of on-site renewable energy assets.
When the value of our business increases, our landlord partners share in the value.
Rethinking Energy for a Low-Carbon Future
Across Europe, regulation and investor expectations are reshaping the commercial real estate market. In Poland and the wider EU, upcoming energy efficiency and carbon reporting standards will increasingly link asset value to sustainability performance.
Forward-looking owners are responding by integrating on-site renewable generation—turning underused roof space into long-term value.
DC Green enables this transition with a fully funded, zero-CapEx solar solution that provides clean energy for occupiers and dependable rental income for landlords.
Our approach helps owners meet emerging ESG and energy performance requirements while strengthening tenant appeal and protecting future asset value.
A Renewables Model That Finally Speaks Real Estate
" We quickly recognised that the renewables sector didn't address the needs of institutional owners of multi-tenanted assets. We built DC Green to bridge that gap—creating a model that eliminates balance sheet risk and turns a dormant roof into a core, value-adding asset from day one."
– Doug Hardman & Chris Dryden, Co-Founders
Where Will You Find Us?
DC Green is focused on the Central European markets of
Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.
Projects in UK and other European markets are considered on a case by case basis.
What We Do Best
DC Green’s EaaS model has been developed to deliver for landlords of multi-tenanted commercial real estate: THE HARD STUFF
Our solar PV assets are deployed on site and “behind-the-meter”. This typically means that low density properties are where we can make the biggest impact; retail shopping centres, retail parks and logistics hubs.
We are also delivering for single tenant, owner occupiers and industrial customers.
