The Esco based in Verona and Cagliari was selected to test a new solution for energy efficiency and energy saving for SMEs.

White Energy Group, an energy services company based in Verona and Cagliari, Italy, becomes a partner in the Esi Europe Consortium, a European network funded by the Horizon 2020 program, which aims to create the right conditions to enable small and medium-sized enterprises to transition from old technologies to more modern and efficient energy transition technologies.

In fact, the Consortium has just launched ‘GoSafe with ESI,’ a new brand operating in Italy, Portugal and Spain. An integrated turnkey solution aimed mainly at SMEs, to encourage the inclusion of new technologies that make their companies more efficient with the guarantee of final savings.

This is a standardized turnkey installation contract with performance guarantee and accompanied by insurance of guaranteed savings.

‘GoSafe with ESI’ puts in place standardized, third-party validated mechanisms to build trust among customers, technology providers and banks, thereby reducing the perceived risk of energy efficiency investments.

On the financial side, in order to facilitate access to credit for companies investing in the field, there is active cooperation with Banco BPM and CiviBank and with Reale Mutua for what concerns the insurance part.

As part of the agreement signed in recent days with the Esi Consortium, White Energy becomes the technology provider for these projects, i.e., the reference point with the necessary know-how for the purposes of the program.

“It is a further recognition in terms of expertise and professionalism by qualified experts and operators in the sector such as F.I.R.E, coordinator for Italy, and BASE, a sustainable energy agency based in Switzerland and general coordinator of the Consortium,” stresses Gianluigi Mele, ad of Weeg. “White Energy proposes and invests directly in energy efficiency projects in the industrial and civil sectors, through an innovative approach that combines strong skills in the energy efficiency sector with expertise in the areas of IT, IoT and Energy Intelligence, and this is why it was selected in Italy to be part of the project.

“Not only that,” explains Franco Asuni, business developer at Whitenergy. – if the formula being tested with these partnerships, under the brand name ‘GoSafe with ESI,’ prove to be effective, they can complement traditional energy performance contracts (Epc) by containing within them additional guarantees that will allow more trust between all parties involved.”
