FAQs
Common questions
What's the typical PPA tariff for a care home in Belfast in 2026?
For care homes in Belfast, indicative 2026 tariffs sit in the 14–18 p/kWh range. Specific tariff depends on system size, off-taker covenant, term length and the local DNO context.
What system size fits a typical care home in Belfast?
30–150kWp is the typical 2026 range for care homes in Belfast-area sites. Larger sites (e.g., those on the major industrial estates) suit the upper end.
How long is the typical PPA term?
15-25 years. For care homes, 20 years is the typical sweet spot — long enough for the provider to amortise and short enough to retain off-taker flexibility.
Are there grant alternatives for care homes in Belfast?
Possibly. Belfast City Council runs decarbonisation programmes and Northern Ireland has growth-hub grants — but most care homes signing PPAs in 2026 do so because the PPA gives them speed + no capex, where grants would constrain them. See PPA vs grant-funded.
