Commercial and regulatory expertise, on the terms that suit your project.
Engagements are led directly by a senior practitioner (fractional, contract, or project work), shaped to what the work actually requires.
Senior capacity on a recurring basis, embedded in your programme.
Defined-scope work where Caldora holds named responsibility for a workstream.
Bounded pieces of work with a clear outcome: a paper, a plan, an analysis.
ESCo structuring
Commercial structuring of Energy Services Companies for long-term heat supply.
Get the commercial and legal architecture right before financial close, so the operating business is set up to succeed and the risks sit with whoever is best placed to manage them.
- —Corporate structure and ownership design
- —Long-term heat supply agreement frameworks
- —Commercial terms, pricing and risk allocation
- —Transaction support through to financial close
Mobilisation
Stand-up of heat supply contracts and operating entities from financial close through handover.
Mobilisation is where well-structured projects lose time and budget. We plan and run the workstreams that turn a set of contracts into a functioning operating business.
- —Mobilisation planning and workstream governance
- —Operating model and staffing design
- —Policies, procedures and systems fit-out
- —Handover readiness into steady-state operations
Governance frameworks
Board, committee and operating model design for heat networks and energy service businesses.
Governance that matches the size and risk profile of the business, not borrowed from another industry and trimmed down.
- —Board structure, terms of reference and delegations
- —Committee design (risk, audit, compliance)
- —Policy architecture and approval workflows
- —Reporting cadence and management information
Ofgem compliance
Authorisation Conditions, HNTAS and TS1: from gap analysis through implementation.
The Ofgem regime is new, broad and consequential. We help operators move from “what is required of us?” to an evidenced, board-reportable position.
- —Authorisation Conditions gap analysis
- —HNTAS / TS1 technical standard readiness
- —Consumer protection obligations (complaints, PSR, billing)
- —Ongoing compliance monitoring and assurance
Funding applications
Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) applications and other heat network funding streams.
Securing grant and capital funding takes a coherent narrative across technical, commercial and delivery evidence. We lead or support applications end-to-end.
- —Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) applications
- —Eligibility assessment and scheme selection
- —Business case and commercial narrative
- —Coordination with technical, legal and cost advisers
