# Transition 5.0 Without Initial Investment | Green 5.0

> Green 5.0 is White Energy's service model for helping companies carry out eligible energy and digital transition projects without immobilizing capital, combining financing, technical management, energy-efficiency measures and renewable-energy systems.

## Page details

- **Source language:** English
- **Content type:** Page
- **Original title:** Transition 5.0 Without Initial Investment | Green 5.0
- **English title:** Transition 5.0 Without Initial Investment | Green 5.0
- **Source URL:** https://weeg.it/en/energy-solutions-for-businesses/esco/transition-5-0-without-initial-investment-green-5-0/
- **Summary:** Green 5.0 supports Transition 5.0 projects with financing and end-to-end management, including high-efficiency machinery, photovoltaics, digital monitoring, heat pumps and electric boilers where the eligibility criteria are met.

## Green 5.0 value proposition

The service is presented as a way to access advanced technologies, high-efficiency plants and renewable energy without committing equity capital. The intended benefits include lower energy costs, higher productivity and efficiency, reduced emissions and faster progress through the energy transition.

The model is structured as a service rather than a purchase.

## How the service works

White Energy states that it takes charge of the project from the initial investment through the technical management of the photovoltaic system.

For interventions under the Transition 5.0 Plan, the page identifies two core requirements:

- a certified reduction in consumption;
- interconnection of the driving intervention with company systems.

Once those criteria are met, the project may also include a photovoltaic system, a heat pump or an electric boiler producing thermal energy for the process.

## Main benefits described

- **No up-front investment:** White Energy finances eligible interventions described on the page, including high-efficiency plants and machinery, automation and monitoring systems, and self-consumption photovoltaic systems.
- **Productivity and efficiency:** new production machinery can increase output while improving efficiency.
- **Comprehensive management:** design, implementation, permitting, operational management and photovoltaic-system maintenance are handled as part of the service.
- **Shared-value model:** the customer benefits from energy savings and energy produced.
- **Fixed-price renewable energy:** the page describes renewable energy supplied at a fixed price for 12 years.
- **Plant ownership at contract end:** the plant is transferred to the company at the end of the contract without further outlay.

## Technologies covered

The page's FAQ lists:

- interconnected high-efficiency machinery;
- photovoltaic systems for self-consumption;
- heat pumps;
- electric boilers for process thermal-energy generation;
- digital control and monitoring systems;
- automation software;
- integrated energy-efficiency solutions.

## Sectors highlighted

Green 5.0 is presented for several industrial and agricultural contexts:

- **Industrial materials:** ceramics, glass, cement and brick production, including replacement of kilns and production lines with high-efficiency 4.0 machinery, digital systems and photovoltaic self-consumption.
- **Chemical:** continuous-cycle, high-consumption operations using interconnected plant and control-system upgrades, with photovoltaic self-generation where compatible.
- **Textile:** interconnected plant and control-system upgrades for continuous-cycle and high-consumption operations.
- **Manufacturing:** interconnected plant and control-system upgrades aimed at measurable energy savings.
- **Food:** processing, packaging and refrigeration systems combined with 4.0 solutions and photovoltaics.
- **Agricultural:** processing activities such as drying and preserving, using interconnected capital goods, photovoltaic self-consumption and digital energy monitoring.

## Case study: mechanical components company

The first example concerns a company producing high-precision mechanical components with constant energy consumption and unsuitable roofing. Its goal was to reduce operating costs without tying up financial resources.

The page describes a **1 MWp photovoltaic system** built in EPC mode with remote self-consumption, fully financed and managed by White Energy. A **€50,000 process investment**, also supported by White Energy, enabled access to Transition 5.0 incentives for the driving intervention and the photovoltaic plant.

Operational details reported on the page include:

- immediate use of replacement production machinery;
- higher efficiency and hourly output;
- energy selling price of **€120/MWh**;
- **12-year** contract term;
- no investment by the company for the photovoltaic system;
- ownership of the photovoltaic system at the end of the contract.

## Case study: fruit and vegetable processing company

The second example concerns a company processing and packaging fruit and vegetables, with high-consumption production lines and multi-shift operations. The stated goals were to reduce energy costs and strengthen ESG positioning without affecting liquidity.

The page describes a **2 MWp photovoltaic system** sized to cover a significant share of production consumption. White Energy financed the intervention and handled design, implementation, documentation and authorization management. The page also reports an initial investment of about **€50,000** for the driving part of the intervention.

Operational details reported include:

- more efficient and faster production machinery;
- energy selling price of **€100/MWh**;
- **12-year** contract term;
- reduced environmental footprint;
- no management or maintenance costs for the photovoltaic system.

## Access requirements and contract model

According to the FAQ, the process intervention must generate a measurable reduction in consumption and be interconnected with company systems. For the photovoltaic component, the page states that the modules must be produced in Europe.

Electricity produced by the photovoltaic system is sold to the customer at a fixed price for the duration of the contract. At the end of the contract, typically after 12 years, the company acquires full ownership of the plant without further outlay.
