Managed Energy Infrastructure

GETEC is Europe’s leading provider of customised energy and infrastructure solutions delivered as-a-service.   

We offer crucial financial and operational advantages through end-to-end managed energy infrastructure solutions that deliver energy and infrastructure as-a-service. We design, build, finance, own and operate our customers' energy infrastructure, with cost-effective energy supply solutions customised to every customer's unique needs. By optimising plant operations, meeting decarbonisation targets and complying with regulations, we enable our customers to focus on their core business without upfront investment.

Our Managed Energy Infrastructure model offers complete solutions to run your operations, from individual heating and cooling plants, cogeneration facilities, and renewable energy installations to full networks for production, distribution, storage and waste recovery. We operate multiple energy networks, both on-site at customer premises and across larger areas, custom-built to match your exact requirements. We also operate specialised industrial parks, which provide access to even broader comprehensive services and infrastructure.

Managed Energy Infrastructure reduces the risks and upfront investments of self-owned energy infrastructures, delivering reliable, efficient and professionally managed solutions at predictable costs. Our customers profit from optimised fuel sourcing, proven decarbonisation technologies and advanced digital tools as part of an integrated energy ecosystem that delivers measurable value while advancing decarbonisation targets.

Turning energy supply into a competitive advantage

Managed Energy Infrastructure, with its as-a-service model, enables organisations to access high‑performance, regulation‑compliant and energy‑efficient infrastructure without upfront capital expenditure, while staying flexible, future‑proof and focused on its core operations.

By outsourcing complexity and risk, organisations can accelerate decarbonisation, ensure resilience, attract tenants or investors with higher‑grade assets, focus on growth, and reallocate financial and human resources to their core mission — gaining speed and agility in a market where both are becoming decisive.

INTERVIEW 

Rukmini Glanard, Chief Business Officer of GETEC

How does Managed Energy Infrastructure work? 

Our Managed Energy Infrastructure business model is a game-changer for a wide range of customers, as it delivers reliable, decarbonised energy and critical infrastructure at a predictable operational cost. As part of this model, GETEC designs, builds, finances, operates, owns and maintains the infrastructure, leveraging our engineering, regulatory and sustainability expertise. 

Which organisations gain the greatest advantages from this model? 

Customers who require customised energy solutions for industrial production processes or for municipal and real estate services will benefit from adopting an as-a-service model to avoid large upfront investments or to outsource complexity not linked to their primary business. In all cases, the Managed Energy Infrastructure model enables organisations to focus their financial and human resources on activities which create value for their core business.

How does this model impact sustainability?

Managed Energy Infrastructure reduces carbon emissions by optimising efficiency, integrating renewable energy sources and using proven decarbonisation technologies. Advanced data analytics and metrics enhance sustainability and climate reporting, enabling you to stay ahead of the evolving energy and environmental regulations. These real-time insights into energy usage can help identify areas for improvement and support decision-making to help you meet important sustainability targets. 

What market dynamics in Europe are driving the adoption of this model?

Across Europe, demand for as-a-service models is growing as industrial, real estate and public sector players face rising energy and operating costs and increasingly stringent ESG and net‑zero regulations. They are also struggling with ageing assets, talent shortages and the costs of modernisation. As many business sectors are being pushed to adopt more advanced, automated and energy‑efficient infrastructure, the requirements for digitalisation, power resilience and compliance are growing faster than their in‑house capabilities. At the same time, Europe’s broader economic shifts are creating an urgent need for the rapid and scalable deployment of efficient energy ecosystems. In this context, our Managed Energy Infrastructure model becomes a true competitive advantage in Europe.

Why is GETEC the ideal partner?

We take pride in understanding, meeting and exceeding our customers’ needs while providing exceptional support and measurable business outcomes. With more than 30 years of experience, GETEC combines deep technological and operational expertise with strong financial stability. We pioneer and develop efficient, affordable and reliable energy solutions and have a track record of delivering projects on time and on budget. Our process involves the in-depth analysis of our customers’ needs and goals, the design and development of a technical solution concept, a transparent financing agreement, the project build, and the implementation of efficient and scalable processes. This is followed by a long-term partnership of operations, maintenance and continuous optimisation. 

FAQ

What is the as-a-service model?

The as‑a‑service concept originated in the software and IT sector, most notably with Software‑as‑a‑Service (SaaS) and cloud computing, describing a shift from asset ownership to subscription‑based access. Customers pay recurring fees or usage‑based pricing while the service provider owns and operates the asset. In the energy sector, as-a-service is a contractual business model in which customers benefit from solutions provided by a specialist partner, such as GETEC, who owns, operates and maintains the infrastructure. Customers gain access to heating, cooling, power generation and renewable energy systems designed to meet reliability, cost and decarbonisation objectives without capital investment. The Managed Energy Infrastructure model transfers operational responsibilities and associated risks, including technical complexity, regulatory management, asset performance and emergency response, to GETEC. Customers can redirect time, talent and investment toward what truly strengthens their core business.

What is a Managed Energy Infrastructure solution provider?

The solution provider is an expert partner that designs, builds, finances, owns, operates and maintains energy‑related infrastructure on behalf of the customer, such as heating and cooling plants, renewable installations, power generation units, storage systems, or other critical energy assets. GETEC has a team of experts who work with the customer to analyse their energy and infrastructure needs and provide a customised solution that meets their specific needs. This includes asset availability, operational performance, regulatory compliance, preventive maintenance, monitoring, performance optimisation and emergency response. GETEC brings the engineering, operational and regulatory expertise required to ensure a reliable, cost efficient and resilient energy supply, while the customer pays predictable operational fees rather than making large capital investments.

How does Managed Energy Infrastructure provide enhanced reliability and operational security?

GETEC has the financial stability and expertise to deliver the economic viability, security of supply and sustainability impact that typically exceeds what individual companies or municipalities can achieve with self-operated infrastructure. GETEC experts can deliver proven technologies, redundant generation capacity, automatic backup systems, access to innovation, fuel sourcing advantages and rapid response protocols. Professional management and predictive maintenance programmes protect operations from unexpected interruptions.
