Energy as a Service (EaaS)
Our Turnkey Approach
We are your energy partners for the long term. Through an energy services agreement (ESA) we handle everything, from financing the project, to owning and maintaining the system for the next 15-20 years. We are invested in your success, every step of the way.
Next Steps with Unison Energy
Initial Analysis
Your facility provides 12 months of electric and gas bills, and electric interval data if available, along with a primary facility contact.
Site Walk
At this stage we provide a detailed feasibility assessment, while the client provides a letter of intent.
ESA Contract
After you sign we begin construction, handling all permitting, including air and environmental, utility interconnects, and local building authority.
Construction
We manage the design engineering and construction process, which may last anywhere from 12 to 24 months depending upon equipment and complexity of the microgrid project.
Commissioning
At this stage we ensure system optimization and gain permission to operate from the utility.
Monitoring & Maintenance
After system startup, the site transitions to our system monitoring, optimization, and operations team.
Safety First, Safety Always
Safety comes first throughout construction, installation, and commissioning, for our own team and any third-party firms. We ensure contractors adhere to best practices and safety standards, incorporating both host facility and Unison Energy policies.
Our Engineering Expertise
Our expert team customizes each microgrid to maximize your benefits. Using our proprietary energy model and database of utility tariffs, we consider how to best meet your operational requirements, incorporate energy conservation measures, and qualify your site for incentives and rebates.
Our Proactive Approach to Uptime
Through our culture of teamwork, site ownership, round-the-clock remote monitoring, and data-driven preventative maintenance, we achieve industry-leading uptime for our clients — typically an average of 97-98% across our sites.
