Energy Service Contract
About the Service
An energy service contract with its own generation offers numerous advantages that can significantly change the approach to managing a company's energy resources.
First and foremost, the implementation of such a project ensures independence from external power grids. This allows you to avoid various issues related to supply disruptions and rising energy tariffs. Moreover, having your own energy source contributes to the stability of the power supply, which is especially important for companies using high-tech equipment. The stability of electricity supply helps reduce the risk of production disruptions and decreases equipment wear.
It is also worth noting that self-generated electricity will cost significantly less than the services of energy supply companies — in some cases, savings can reach 30-40%.
The process of constructing a mini-CHP plant is relatively quick and will take on average about one calendar year. Meanwhile, managing such a facility requires a minimal number of personnel, which further reduces operating costs.
Another important aspect to consider is the ability to sell surplus electricity and heat. This creates an additional source of income for the enterprise.
The concept of cogeneration is also attractive, which involves producing not only electricity but also heat in the form of hot water or steam, making the system even more versatile and resource-efficient.
The economic effect of this approach becomes noticeable immediately after the launch of the facility, with no need for capital investments from the customer.
It is important to note that outsourcing to an energy service company eliminates risks associated with the construction and operation of the facility. The company takes on the interaction with regulatory authorities and turns all procedures into a continuous and managed process, freeing the enterprise from unnecessary headaches and allowing it to focus on its core activities. Additional attention is paid to system upgrades, which not only maintain but also significantly improve their efficiency.
One should not forget that an energy service contract includes the possibility of purchasing equipment, either earlier or at the end of the contract term. This allows the energy service contract to be considered as a sort of 'test drive.'
The process of launching an energy service contract involves several stages:
Starting with the initial request and analysis of the customer's energy consumption status, followed by the preparation of a technical-commercial proposal, which is then discussed and agreed upon.
The next step is the creation of a legal entity responsible for the project's implementation and the conclusion of the energy service contract.
After that, the project and cost documentation is developed and approved, the main and auxiliary equipment is ordered, followed by its delivery, including construction and installation works, and system commissioning. The final stage is the commissioning of the energy center, followed by service maintenance throughout the contract duration.
