BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the market for energy as a service (EaaS) financing, providing regional forecasts for building efficiency, onsite energy supply, and energy flexibility solutions, through 2029.
While EaaS definitions continue to evolve, the financing element—focused on OPEX-based payments—is increasingly recognized as the central distinguishing feature of these agreements. EaaS contracts allow customers to outsource parts or the entirety of their energy operation while avoiding CAPEX or debt and paying out of the OPEX budget instead. The EaaS vendor owns and controls the installed technologies and guarantees an output, such as heating, cooling, or electricity.
