Energy as a service, also known as EaaS, gives customers access to energy management services without upfront costs. These services, which may include asset and energy use management, are tailored to a customer’s specific energy goals and delivered through a contract with a services company. Similar to a software-as-a-service model, with EaaS, you avoid capital expenditures like equipment costs and maintenance and pay only for ongoing service.
EaaS helps consumers and communities improve energy resilience and sustainability, while also reducing performance risk and capital burden.
Cost control: Pay zero upfront costs with predictable monthly payments
Sustainability: Integrate with renewables such as solar and battery storage
Energy reliability and operational resiliency: Upgrade existing infrastructure and incorporate new equipment for continuous power
With EaaS, Schneider Electric can customize and implement a plan to help you overcome energy challenges and meet your business goals. And with our trusted partners, we can finance, design, build, own, operate, and maintain your project so you can keep focusing on your organizational goals.
