WHAT IS THIS

A model that combines financing and performance

In practice

  • Funding

    The work was financed by Powesco with progressive repayment through the savings generated

  • Guarantee

    Contractualized performance targets and compensation in case of underperformance

  • Piloting

    Auditing, implementation, monitoring and optimization ensured by a single team

  • Duration

    Commitment tailored to the project, generally between 5 and 15 years

The ESCO model allows you to launch energy projects without initial investment. Powesco finances the work, coordinates its implementation, measures the results achieved, and guarantees performance contractually. You benefit from a single point of contact capable of assuming the technical and financial risk throughout the project.

  • Works financed without cash outlay
  • Performance is contractually guaranteed
  • Gradual repayment via the savings generated
  • End-to-end management by a single team
  • Results are tracked via the SEME NEXTEP platform

Our approach

Your ESCO project in 4 steps 

A engineer throughout the project – from the initial audit to performance monitoring 

Step 1

Audit and definition of objectives

Identification of performance levers and establishment of the baseline situation. Contractual basis for guaranteed savings.

Step 2

Structuring the financing

Construction of the economic model, contractualization of commitments and definition of performance indicators.

Step 3

Completion of the work

Operational management and coordination of stakeholders. Intervention on occupied sites, acceptance testing.

Step 4

Performance monitoring and guarantee

Measurement of results via SEME NEXTEP and compensation if objectives are not met.

Why Powesco

What differentiates our approach 

Three concrete commitments — not commercial promises.

  • 01

    A model that reduces barriers to investment

    Projects can be launched without mobilizing your immediate resources

  • 02

    A contractual commitment to results

    The expected performance is defined, measured and guaranteed within the framework of the contract.

  • 03

    A single partner from start to finish

    Auditing, financing, implementation, monitoring and optimization are coordinated by Powesco.

What you get

The tangible benefits of the ESCO model

  • Achieve your projects without mobilizing your resources

    Preserve your cash flow and investment capacity for your other priorities.

  • Secure your energy savings

    The results are recorded in the contract and monitored over time via SEME NEXTEP.

  • Finance your renovations with the profits generated

    The savings contribute directly to the repayment of the project over the duration of the contract.

  • Accelerate your decisions

    A unique project combining financing, works and performance — without multiple trade-offs.

  • Take control of your projects with integrated expertise

    Auditing, engineering, implementation and monitoring all combined in a single approach.

THE EXPERT'S WORD

Funding is only part of the equation 

A successful energy project depends as much on its implementation and monitoring as on its financing. The ESCO model makes it possible to sustainably align the interests of all parties around a common objective: measurable performance.
