With no up-front CapEx, AlphaStruxure and GreenStruxure’s innovative EaaS models maximize results and minimize risk:
- Transferred risk: Tailored energy infrastructure is designed, built, operated, and maintained by experts who also bear all owning, operating, and performance risks.
- Cost-predictability: Avoid up-front expenditures and benefit from a contract that provides price certainty for long-term energy costs.
- Guaranteed performance: Long-term resilience, reliability, greenhouse gas reduction, and cost stability goals are realized with an accountable, fully invested energy partner
As defined by Guidehouse Insights, EaaS solutions allow customers to address sustainability, resiliency, and deferred maintenance while upgrading facilities with OpEx-only payments and immediate ROI. Outsourcing all or part of energy management to a provider is increasingly compelling because of the rising complexity of available distributed energy technologies and the challenge of meeting long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction standards.
