- **Summary:** White Energy Group joins the Horizon 2020-funded ESI Europe network to support the GoSafe with ESI model for SME energy-efficiency investments, acting as technology provider within the initiative.

## Partnership with ESI Europe

White Energy Group, an energy services company based in Verona and Cagliari, has become a partner of the ESI Europe Consortium. The consortium is described as a European network funded by the Horizon 2020 programme and focused on creating conditions that help small and medium-sized enterprises move from older technologies to more modern and efficient solutions for the energy transition.

Within the agreement, White Energy becomes the technology provider for the projects, supplying the know-how required by the programme.

## GoSafe with ESI

The consortium has launched **GoSafe with ESI** in Italy, Portugal, and Spain. The initiative is presented as an integrated turnkey solution mainly aimed at SMEs, supporting the adoption of new technologies that improve company efficiency while guaranteeing the resulting savings.

The model includes:

- a standardized turnkey installation contract;
- performance guarantees;
- insurance covering the guaranteed savings;
- standardized mechanisms;
- third-party validation.

The stated purpose is to build trust among customers, technology providers, and banks while reducing the perceived risk of energy-efficiency investments.

## Financial and insurance support

The page states that cooperation is active with:

- **Banco BPM** and **CiviBank** to facilitate access to credit for companies investing in energy efficiency;
- **Reale Mutua** for the insurance component.

## White Energy's role and expertise

Gianluigi Mele, CEO of White Energy Group, describes the partnership as recognition of the company's expertise and professionalism by qualified sector organizations, including F.I.R.E., coordinator for Italy, and BASE, the Switzerland-based sustainable-energy agency and general coordinator of the consortium.

He states that White Energy directly proposes and invests in industrial and civil energy-efficiency projects through an approach combining energy-efficiency expertise with IT, IoT, and Energy Intelligence skills.

Franco Asuni, Business Developer at Whitenergy, explains that if the partnership model tested under the GoSafe with ESI brand proves effective, it could complement traditional Energy Performance Contracts by adding further guarantees intended to increase trust among the parties involved.
