DAGEM Power, a specialist engineering company delivering technical, testing and consultancy services across the electrical transmission and power generation sector, is strengthening its role in the UK’s green energy transition with tailored invoice finance support from eCapital.

Based in Cannock in Staffordshire, DAGEM Power delivers large scale commissioning and engineering projects that support the country’s shift towards cleaner and more resilient energy infrastructure. The business has played a key role in major renewable and nuclear developments including Hinkley Point C, Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm and London Power Tunnels 2, the extensive rewiring project designed to future proof London’s underground transmission network.

Central to DAGEM Power’s service offering is its proprietary Commissioning Management System, built on Microsoft O365 technologies. This system provides clients with accurate forecasted costing and ensures transparency, efficiency and high quality delivery across every stage of a project. Combined with the firm’s deep engineering expertise, it allows customers to plan complex commissioning activities with confidence.

A major driver of DAGEM Power’s growth has been its investment in recruitment, training and the retention of highly skilled engineering talent. The company places heavy emphasis on developing specialists internally and maintaining the depth of technical capability required to support critical national infrastructure. However, rapid expansion combined with substantial ongoing investment in people creates significant cashflow demands, particularly when working on large scale, long term energy projects.

To support this growth trajectory, DAGEM Power has partnered with eCapital to leverage Invoice Finance solutions that unlock cash from outstanding invoices. This approach enables the business to release funds immediately once invoices are raised rather than waiting the typical 45 days or more for payment. The ability to access working capital earlier allows DAGEM Power to reinvest quickly into new recruits, advanced training programmes and operational expansion.

This financial flexibility is proving vital to maintaining project momentum and supporting the company’s long term commitments, as Darren Edmunds, Business Manager at DAGEM Power, explains:

“Our partnership with eCapital has been crucial to providing us with the confidence to continue to invest in our business and align with the ambitious long-term goals of the sector.

eCapital has provided clear communication, tailored support and a deep understanding of our business model. Facilitating more than just financial support, but the stability to continue to drive innovation, nurture talent and make our mark in the UK’s green energy transition.”

Invoice Finance is increasingly recognised as a practical tool for engineering and renewable energy businesses that must balance long project cycles with intense capital demands. By accessing cash earlier, companies like DAGEM Power can maintain a steady pipeline of specialist talent, keep pace with industry deadlines and support the scaling of the UK’s green energy and grid modernisation efforts.

James Cresswell, Regional Managing Director at eCapital, highlights the value of supporting such a strategically important organisation:

“DAGEM Power operates in a highly technical field, providing safe, compliant and advanced solutions, to tackle the UK’s next stage of sustainable infrastructure. Over the last few years we have seen DAGEM Power build out its capabilities and nurture the next generation of engineers.

“We look forward to continuing our relationship managing DAGEM Power’s cashflow to further facilitate its growth well into the future.”

With strong financial backing and a clear commitment to training the workforce needed for the UK’s future energy system, DAGEM Power is well positioned to support the rapid build out of renewable generation, nuclear new build and major transmission upgrades nationwide.
