EAAS, PPA, ESA Types of Structured Financing

Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) and Decarbonization-as-a-Service

Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) and Decarbonization-as-a-Service provide a flexible and comprehensive solution to support your energy or carbon reduction goals.

In this model, the equipment or energy infrastructure installed as part of your project is owned by a third party, and you pay for the output (whether that’s energy, emissions reduction or some other outcome). This lets you focus on your core operations while enjoying guaranteed runtime, output and performance.

Benefits of the Energy-as-a-Service Model

Performance Guarantees

Ensure desired outcomes without risk.
Flexible Structure

Pay based on energy output or other performance-based metrics.
Financial Flexibility

Can be structured as non-debt instruments for off-balance sheet treatment.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) offer a cost-effective way to access clean, renewable energy. With a PPA, you don’t have to manage the installation or operation of the energy system so you can focus on your business.

The energy system is owned and managed by a third party, and you pay for the electric output at a predetermined rate that’s likely lower than your traditional utility rates.

Benefits of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

Low to No Upfront Costs

Generate clean energy and lower utility bills with low to no upfront costs.
Stabilize Energy and Expenses

An off-grid energy supply provides resilience while limiting exposure to utility price risks.
Financial Flexibility

Third-party ownership of the assets eliminates balance sheet impact.

Energy Service Agreements (ESA)

Like traditional performance contracts, Energy Service Agreements (ESAs) provide a reliable way to manage and maintain energy systems. With an ESA, Trane takes care of the ongoing operations so you can focus on the business at hand. You then repay our services with the savings generated by your equipment improvements.

Benefits of Energy Service Agreements (ESA)

Retain Equipment Ownership or 3rd Party Ownership

Set up an asset ownership structure that works for you.
Accounting Flexibility

Can be structured as a non-debt instrument for off-balance sheet treatment.
Cost Savings

Reduce maintenance expenses and improve system efficiency.
