Generating sustainable energy on-site is a key decarbonization pathway for organizations looking to reduce carbon emissions to achieve Net Zero. As organizations explore on-site options, solar energy is an attractive solution for most sustainable energy strategies. But, as organizations look to scale operations and maximize the power output, barriers to success arise.

Implementing an on-site solar program often requires the organization to supply the capital expenditure, source the assets, interact with local network operators, and manage the operational responsibilities. For organizations without the time and expertise to execute these steps, achieving decarbonization goals can become an uphill battle.

Why is On-site Solar Important?

On-site Solar addresses key challenges organizations face when looking to meet their multi-site onsite solar objectives. The program allows ENGIE Impact to take on a bulk of the financial and operational responsibilities, including:

• Asset Ownership: ENGIE Impact, or its partners, will procure, install, commission, and own the renewable electricity generation systems in designated areas onsite.
• Financial Responsibilities: ENGIE Impact takes full responsibility for CAPEX (through equity and debt financing), and pays its own operating expense at sites.
• Operational Responsibilities: ENGIE Impact or its partners will fully operate the PV installations as well as manage site maintenance and repairs.

Partnering with ENGIE Impact gives organizations access to the resources and expertise to efficiently manage a multi-site solar program and to take advantage of local opportunities at each site. This partnership will accelerate near- and long-term decarbonization objectives, as well as increase the positive brand perception that comes with credible decarbonization action.

ENGIE Impact’s On-site Solar Program

Our On-site Solar program combines central coordination and deployment through four phases that are rolled out for each batch of sites.
