The Energy as a Service model

For a long time, the energy sector worked without many openings, in a linear fashion, following the same pattern: generation, transmission, distribution and final consumer. However, this scenario came out of its inertia, transforming itself.

This change occurred due to the Energy as a Service (EaaS) model, a system that allows the customer not to invest in an infrastructure to energy generation, valuing circularity, as well as renewable sources and consumer autonomy in relation to their own energy generation.

The reality is that “different players” can benefit from this new model. According to Deloitte, a global consulting and auditing company, this model depends on a series of factors to reach maturity. “We are in the early stages of this scenario. Companies that form partnerships and collaborate with each other will benefit sooner and advance in competitive terms”, says a study published in 2019.

From the point of view of business consumers, this model allows organizations to purchase energy from cheaper and much less polluting way, without the need for large investments in infrastructure and equipment generators. This is due to the fact that EaaS makes use of traditional arrangements that manage to reconcile with new alternative models, designed in accordance with the specific needs of each organization.

Furthermore, these results can be translated into significantly expressive numbers. For example, Ohio State University estimates it will achieve a 25% improvement in energy efficiency on its own campus within the first ten years of the lease.
