Financing & Servitization

Technically sound. Economically robust. Structured for financing.

Many energy and infrastructure projects fail not because of the technology, but because of investment barriers, performance risk or weak project structure. SISTEA connects engineering, baseline, savings, CAPEX/OPEX, risk and service into a decision-ready project.

The decisive change in perspective

Not only: What does the equipment cost?

SISTEA

But: What performance do I need, what savings are created, and how can the project support itself economically?

01 · Structure savings · reduce risk

ESI · Energy Savings Insurance

The ESI model builds trust among the customer, technology provider and financing partner. It combines a defined savings logic with standardized contractual structures, technical validation and – depending on the program and project – energy-savings insurance and a financing structure.

Technical baseline and defined starting point

Traceable savings and performance assumptions

Contract structure for responsibility and performance

Independent technical validation as a possible element

Insurance and financing depend on program, country and project

02 · Use cooling performance instead of buying equipment

Cooling-as-a-Service

Businesses primarily need reliable cooling, not necessarily ownership of a chiller. With Cooling-as-a-Service, defined cooling capacity or an agreed cooling service is provided. Investment, operation, maintenance, monitoring and optimization can be bundled into a long-term performance-based model.

Potential to reduce or avoid high upfront investment

Service provider has a direct incentive to operate efficiently

Operation, maintenance and monitoring can be integrated

Suitable for chillers, industrial refrigeration, cold chain and larger HVAC applications

Payment may be based on use, performance or a contractually defined service

03 · From engineering to performance

SISTEA Project-as-a-Service

Project-as-a-Service is a SISTEA offering model. It is not an official UNEP or BASE program. For suitable projects, we structure the complete chain as an integrated service – from technical concept and financing through procurement, commissioning, monitoring and optimization.

How SISTEA structures a financeable project

Baseline

Capture consumption, load profile, operation, cost and technical starting point.

Engineering

Assess measures, sizing, CAPEX, OPEX, savings, ROI and risk.

Select model

Compare purchase, conventional financing, ESI, Cooling-as-a-Service or an appropriate service model.

Implement & measure

Procurement, installation, commissioning, monitoring and continuous optimization.

International models and references

Only after the project is technically understood do we evaluate the appropriate structure. The following institutions and initiatives provide important international references.

SISTEA participates in the BASE / ESI ecosystem and is a member of the SET Alliance. We use these international approaches as references for suitable projects in Central America.

Important note

The models shown are not an automatic financing commitment or savings guarantee. Availability, insurance, financing, contract structure and terms depend on the project, country, financing partner, insurer, validation and technical review.

Start with the project – not with the financial product.

For a robust decision, we start with technical data, baseline and economic evaluation. Then we select the financing or service model that fits the project.
