Energy third-party financing:
Invest without CAPEX with GreenYellow
The transition toward decarbonization and the electrification of end-use applications should not be hindered by budget constraints. GreenYellow’s third-party financing allows companies to deploy high-performance energy solutions without committing any initial capital. This model transforms a traditional investment into a manageable expense while enabling businesses to reap savings from the first year of the contract. Depending on the terms of the contract, businesses can also deconsolidate assets and investments from their balance sheets.
No upfront investment
Immediate savings or income
Guaranteed performance and availability
Deconsolidation possible
A new way to invest in your energy projects
Third-party energy investment is based on a simple principle. GreenYellow handles all financing, from system design to management and operation of the systems.
On your side, you benefit from energy savings or electricity generation in exchange for a pre-defined service fee.
This model eliminates the need for significant upfront investments while providing access to innovative and high-performance energy solutions. It supports both financial optimization and operational simplification by entrusting the project to an expert partner.
Depending on the terms of the contract and applicable accounting standards, deconsolidation may be permitted, which would keep the assets and financing off the company’s balance sheet.
Why do C&I businesses and public sector choose third-party financing?
More and more organizations are turning to third-party financing, because it addresses several major strategic challenges.
- First, it helps preserve cash flow. By eliminating the initial investment, the company retains its financial capacity for its core business activities.
- Second, this model significantly limits risk exposure. Since energy performance is contractually guaranteed, GreenYellow is committed to achieving specific results, ensuring the project’s profitability. Furthermore, GreenYellow fully handles technical aspects and maintenance, which significantly reduces the internal administrative burden.
- Third, third-party financing does not increase the company’s debt. Depending on the situation, it may allow for the deconsolidation of assets and associated liabilities. This helps preserve financial ratios and investment capacity.
A high-performance alternative to the CAPEX model
The company no longer has to bear the initial costs or deal with performance- or operation-related uncertainties. Instead, it benefits from a turnkey solution with measurable, guaranteed results. This approach accelerates decision-making and allows projects that would have otherwise been delayed or abandoned to be deployed.
Concrete benefits from day one
One of the key advantages of third-party financing is its ability to deliver immediate benefits. As soon as the installations are commissioned, energy savings or revenues generated from energy production become tangible.
This model not only improves the financial performance of businesses and the public sector, but also their environmental performance. By reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, businesses and the public sector strengthen their commitment to the energy transition and meet the growing expectations of stakeholders.
The simplicity of the approach is another key advantage.
With a single point of contact, businesses benefit from comprehensive support, from the initial assessment and design phase through to the operation and management of the installations.
A model suited to many sectors
Third-party financing is aimed at a wide range of players, including manufacturers, retailers, logistics providers, the service sector, and the public sector. Wherever energy efficiency improvements are possible, this model helps remove barriers to investment and accelerate projects.
This is especially important for businesses with multiple locations or those looking to quickly implement solutions on a large scale (multi-site/multi-geographic).
A full end-to-end approach
GreenYellow supports its clients throughout every stage of their project. This support begins with an in-depth analysis of their energy needs and continues through the design of customized solutions that are perfectly tailored to their performance goals and operational constraints.
Once the project is approved, GreenYellow handles the financing, implementation, and operation, providing a turnkey solution that simplifies processes, minimizes risk, and ensures transparency.
By choosing GreenYellow, you are partnering with a recognized leader that can combine technical expertise, investment capacity, and a contractual commitment to performance. This allows GreenYellow to provide long-term support to businesses undergoing their energy transition and maximize the impact of their projects.
