Choosing PPL to provide Green Energy Insight and Knowledge
We have the expertise to support retailers operating in the green energy market, helping them deliver compliant solutions while placing good consumer outcomes at the heart of everything they do.
We understand the financial regulatory considerations involved in transacting with consumers in these markets, ensuring that customers are appropriately informed at every stage of the journey.
From solar energy to ground source heat pumps, and electric vehicle charging to vehicle sales, our team supports retailers in navigating the specific regulatory and operational challenges within this sector.
Whether you're a new start-up or an established business entering or expanding into this market, offering finance solutions for consumers requires careful assessment of regulatory risk. Our consumer credit compliance and risk specialists review proposed propositions and provide practical, actionable recommendations to ensure compliance and support the delivery of good consumer outcomes.

Green Energy retailers offering consumer credit typically adopt one of two regulatory approaches depending on their business model and growth plans.

Compliance solutions for green energy retailers
Financial Promotions Approval
Promoting financial products online requires careful oversight to ensure communications are clear, fair, and not misleading. Our financial promotions review and approval service supports compliant marketing across websites, social media, digital campaigns and more.
Complaints Management
Retailers may receive customer complaints through multiple channels. Our complaints management solution enables firms to record, monitor and resolve complaints effectively while meeting FCA reporting requirements.
RegData Reporting

Testimonials
We have formed a deep relationship with PPL as a trusted and valuable partner not only across our core compliance function but also across broader aspects of the business. They took us on when we were a very early stage start up and have demonstrated an ability to help us build the relevant compliance functions from scratch. They have also proved flexible in adapting their approach in order to cater to our ever changing business needs which has been impressive. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build out a new compliance function or strengthen their existing processes.
