WHAT IS ENERGY-AS-A-SERVICE?
EaaS is a subscription-based model where FSG designs, installs, owns, and maintains your energy infrastructure. You pay a simple monthly fee instead of large upfront capital. You get immediate energy savings, guaranteed performance, and predictable costs with no surprise maintenance expenses. We take full responsibility for equipment ownership, operation, and performance for the life of the agreement.

EaaS vs. Traditional Purchasing

| Maintenance Costs | Included in subscription | Unpredictable additional costs |
| Performance Risk | FSG guarantees | You absorb risk |
| Tax Benefits | FSG captures ITC/depreciation | You capture (if tax appetite exists) |
Preserve Capital for your core business
EaaS preserves your capital and balance sheet capacity for investments that generate returns, while still delivering immediate energy savings and operational improvements. You don't have to choose between reducing energy costs and funding business growth, EaaS delivers both.
Better Use of Capital: A $300,000 energy infrastructure project might deliver 15-20% ROI through energy savings, but what if that same capital deployed in your core business generates 30-40% returns? EaaS lets you capture the energy savings while keeping capital available for higher-return opportunities.
Cleaner Balance Sheet: EaaS is structured as an operating expense, not a capital lease or debt obligation. This preserves borrowing capacity, improves financial ratios, and simplifies accounting, especially important for organizations with debt covenants or capital allocation restrictions.
With FSG's subscription model, energy efficiency becomes a cash-flow-positive operational decision rather than a capital investment competing for limited resources.
