What does a bank check when it visits a site funded by a green loan?
That the asset exists and runs as described: the solar plant, motor or boiler named in the loan, installed and in use. Expect requests for invoices, commissioning papers and meter readings. Have before and after energy bills ready to show the expected saving is happening.
Have ready
- Equipment invoices and serial numbers.
- Commissioning report.
- Meter or generation readings since start-up.
- Energy bills before and after.
If results are lower than planned
Say so and explain why, such as lower output or downtime. A clear explanation is better than a figure that does not match the bills.
What Senseible does here
