Multiple market trends support rapid adoption, including growing complexity of energy technologies, sustainability commitments, and CAPEX constraints

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BuildingEfficiency--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. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, the as a service financing market for energy solutions is expected to grow from $1.6 billion in 2020 to $27.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate of 36.8%.

“Customers are attracted to EaaS financing as it allows them to address sustainability and deferred maintenance while upgrading facilities with OPEX-only payments and immediate ROI,” says Sasha Wedekind, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Multiple market trends support rapid adoption of the EaaS financing model, including growing complexity of available energy technologies, expanding sustainability commitments, and constraints on CAPEX across different sectors.”
