It depends on the structure of the arrangement. In a standard off-balance-sheet arrangement, the work does not appear on the balance sheet—it remains off-balance-sheet, which preserves your borrowing capacity and does not negatively impact your financial ratios (LTV, net debt/EBITDA). Powesco works with your finance teams and auditors to structure the arrangement best suited to your accounting and regulatory constraints.

All businesses, local authorities, and public institutions carrying out eligible energy efficiency work are, in principle, eligible for Energy Savings Certificates (CEE). The scheme covers a wide range of areas: insulation, HVAC, lighting, building management systems (BMS), and industrial equipment. Powesco coordinates eligibility assessment with its delegated partner Axioris, which prepares and submits the applications to the obligated parties. The amount of the grant depends on the volume of certified energy savings generated.

An ESCO contract typically lasts between 5 and 15 years, depending on the amount of work financed and the agreed-upon savings level. The term is designed so that the savings generated cover the loan repayments over the period. At the end of the contract, all savings accrue to the client. Powesco offers flexible terms tailored to your asset holding strategy.

Yes, under certain conditions. Powesco can implement a performance contract on existing installations, after conducting a baseline audit and verifying the condition of the equipment. The guarantee then covers the measurable improvement compared to the documented initial state. This type of contract is less common but entirely feasible, particularly in the context of asset acquisitions or evolving maintenance contracts.
