Management of energy saving certificates for companies (ESCs)

The savings your company can convert into liquidity

An ESC is an official document that certifies your company’s energy savings: if your company stops consuming 1 kWh for one year, you obtain 1 ESC that proves those savings, which you can then transform into immediate liquidity.

Monetize energy savings with the help of your expert ESC consultancy, recovering part of the investment costs in energy efficiency measures.

Benefits of ESCs for your company

Investing in efficiency is no longer just about “spending less energy”; with ESCs, you turn that effort into a tangible financial asset. Below, we summarize how it impacts your P&L, your cash flow, and your sustainability reputation:

Advantage	Direct impact
Immediate liquidity	Monetize part of the investment in efficiency without going into debt.
Immediate return	Shorten the payback period of your energy projects. The ESC mechanism is more dynamic than traditional grants.
No application windows	It does not depend on specific dates, as it is an open system all year round with a minimum duration until 2030.
Sustainable image	Strengthen your ESG commitment to clients, partners, and the public.
Compatibility	ESCs are compatible with tax deductions and public aid (not originating from IDAE).

Projects that generate ESCs

For a project to be transformed into ESCs, a simple premise is enough: demonstrate real final kWh savings starting from January 26, 2023.

The regulations recognize two paths—”standardized” measures, with a pre-set calculation method, and “singular” measures, which require a custom study but usually generate more certificates; in both cases, if your measure reduces consumption, it is a direct candidate for ESCs.

EXAMPLES OF ENERGY SAVING MEASURES:

Improvement of thermal insulation in pipes and flat surfaces for industrial processes with temperatures exceeding 60°C
Optimization of heat exchangers to reduce thermal resistivity
Installation of heat pumps for climate control and replacement of combustion boilers
Heat recovery in compressors for heating use
Cogeneration Systems: Implementation of cogeneration systems to utilize waste heat and generate electricity
Replacement of compressors in refrigeration facilities
Replacement of chillers with more efficient models
High-Efficiency Motors: Replacement of old motors with high-efficiency motors
Replacement of membranes in electrolyzers

Golden rule: if you can demonstrate real energy savings with verifiable data, your project is a candidate for generating ESCs.

Frequently Asked Questions - Energy Saving Certificates

Can I apply for ESCs if I have already obtained a grant for the same measure?

Yes, the ESC system is compatible with most public aid as long as there is no double financing of the same cost.

How much is an ESC worth?

Its price varies according to supply and demand; the 2024 reference is €182/MWh, but we negotiate each operation to improve it.

Can several small projects be grouped together?

Of course. We unify your measures to reach attractive volumes and reduce verification costs.

What happens if the external verification rejects part of the savings?

We review the file at no additional cost and, if applicable, file a technical appeal with the competent administration.
