Retrofit financing

Common ways to pay for an upgrade

Pay-from-savings / ESCO contract

What it is
An energy service company funds the upgrade and is repaid from the measured energy savings.
When it fits
When savings can be measured reliably and the plant prefers no upfront investment.
What the plant signs
A multi-year performance contract with an agreed baseline and savings-sharing terms.

Leasing

What it is
The equipment is financed by a leasing company and paid for in regular instalments.
When it fits
When the plant wants to own or use new equipment while spreading the cost over time.
What the plant signs
A lease agreement covering term, instalments, maintenance and end-of-term options.

Compressed air as a service

What it is
A provider owns and runs the installation; the plant pays for the air it uses.
When it fits
When the plant prefers a predictable cost per cubic metre and outsourced operation.
What the plant signs
A supply contract with a price per volume, minimum volumes and service levels.

Supplier financing

What it is
The equipment supplier offers deferred or instalment payment for its own products.
When it fits
When a specific supplier is already chosen and quick, simple terms are needed.
What the plant signs
A purchase contract with a payment plan, often tied to warranty and service terms.
