The Warrington-based firm has purchased London-based Arctica Partners to strengthen its role as a key player in the UK's aim of achieving Net Zero, and now hopes to make a number of additional acquisitions over the coming months.
Arctica Partners will provide Dynamis Associates with the only approved project methodology for domestic carbon credit creation and has a significant forward pipeline of enrolled retrofit activity out to 2026.
Under Arctica's carbon finance model, businesses can offset carbon emissions by funding measurable, locally focused projects, which can enable homeowners and social housing providers to expedite the pace and scale of housing retrofit.
The management team at Arctica Partners, including managing director Simon Turek, will remain in place, with the company integrating into the existing Dynamis Associates structure.
"The UK Government has a target to be Net Zero by 2050, and the biggest contributor to carbon emissions in the UK is private domestic properties.
"Arctica Partners provides a unique offering to funding a low-carbon housing stock that will have a significant impact in helping the country to achieve these goals. Their crediting methodology will facilitate businesses with UK operations on their decarbonisation journey, supporting accessibility of warmer homes and lower energy bills for the country's most fuel-poor households at scale.
"It was the right time for us to take ownership of the business and support its future growth, helping to supercharge the adoption of green energy solutions."
"Over the last 12 months, Arctica and our partners at HACT have pioneered carbon credit revenue to accelerate housing decarbonisation. This combination will enable us to build upon the work we've achieved so far.
"Dynamis Associates is poised to enter an exciting new phase with the launch of its own solution to finance housing decarbonisation – this is a core competency of Arctica Partners, and we look forward to supporting the ambitious plans of Dynamis on this front."
The deal was led by Mike Fletcher and Mike Bound from Arete. Sean Lightfoot, Olivia Jones and James McCarthy from Hill Dickinson provided legal and corporate advice.
