Schneider Electric and GreenYellow have joined forces to bring Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) microgrid solutions to small and medium-sized businesses in Europe’s commercial and industrial sectors.
This partnership will allow businesses to cut energy costs while improving energy efficiency.
Microgrids replace expensive, carbon-intensive electricity purchased from the grid with self-generated power sourced through solar photovoltaics.
In addition to reducing costs, the solution is designed to help ensure facilities have a consistent power supply during grid outages or extreme weather events.
The service will initially be available in France, Spain, Portugal, and Eastern Europe, with more countries to follow.
Schneider Electric’s Executive Vice President of European Operations, Philippe Delorme, said the new microgrid offering would enable businesses to manage their costs effectively while meeting their decarbonisation targets.
Chief Executive Officer of GreenYellow, Otmane Hajji, added that microgrids are a great way to optimise energy usage and without upfront investment, it’s a win-win for most businesses.
