Turnkey energy efficiency projects: no capital tied up, guaranteed savings
E’nergys delivers turnkey energy efficiency projects for commercial, institutional and industrial buildings across Canada. From identifying opportunities to guaranteeing savings, we manage your entire project: design, incentives, financing, implementation and performance monitoring, with no major upfront investment.
A solution to complete your energy efficiency projects without complexity or unnecessary risk
Many organizations know they have significant energy savings potential but postpone their projects for several reasons:
- Lack of time or internal resources
- Lack of visibility regarding required investments, available incentives and expected results
- Lack of available capital to carry out energy efficiency work
- Fear of disrupting operations
- Fear of not achieving the promised savings
E’nergys addresses these challenges with an integrated approach that simplifies the decision-making process. Our role is to turn an energy improvement opportunity into a structured, profitable and secure project, with a clear framework for implementation, incentives, financing and performance.
A turnkey energy project, from concept to guaranteed results
We manage every stage:
Analysis of savings opportunities through an energy audit
Technical and financial project design
Identifying, preparing and securing incentives
Structuring financing, when desired
Implementation and coordination of energy efficiency upgrades
Commissioning and energy performance monitoring
One partner, one contract, one commitment to results
Instead of dealing with multiple contractors and gray areas, you entrust your project to a single partner that commits to the value generated. Your projects are easier to approve, faster to execute and more reassuring for your management team.
We maximize and secure your energy efficiency incentives
Across Canada, many energy efficiency projects qualify for financial incentives from utility, provincial and federal programs, depending on the building type, the measures implemented and the site’s energy profile.
E’nergys identifies the relevant programs, prepares applications, handles required validations and follows up to maximize the amounts obtained.
Finance your project with the savings generated
Upfront cost is often the main barrier to an energy efficiency or decarbonization project. E’nergys structures a solution where the project is gradually repaid through the energy savings it generates, so you can modernize your facilities without committing significant capital upfront.
No major upfront CAPEX required
Debt capacity preserved

Positive cash flow from the first year

FAQ
What is an integrated energy efficiency project (ESCO model)?
It is a project in which a specialized partner, known as an energy services company (ESCO), handles the analysis, design, implementation, potential financing and performance monitoring, with a savings guarantee based on the chosen arrangement. E’nergys delivers this type of turnkey project for commercial, institutional and industrial buildings.
Can I complete an energy efficiency project with no upfront investment?
Yes. Depending on the chosen structure, the project can be completed with little or no upfront cost and repaid through the energy savings it generates. E’nergys structures financing to target positive cash flow from the first year while preserving your debt capacity.
Are energy savings truly guaranteed?
Under an energy performance contract, targeted savings are set by contract, then measured and verified with an internationally recognized methodology. E’nergys commits contractually to the agreed savings, depending on the chosen arrangement, and monitors performance after commissioning.
What is an energy performance contract?
An energy performance contract is an agreement in which the partner delivering the work commits to a measurable level of energy savings. Depending on the chosen arrangement, E’nergys can use this model in its integrated projects to tie project repayment to actual savings.

Can a decarbonization project be financed with no upfront investment?
Yes, when the project generates enough energy savings and incentives to repay itself. Dual energy, heat recovery or partial electrification can be built into a turnkey project financed by savings. E’nergys has delivered decarbonization projects at Collège Bourget and Ouellet Canada.
Which energy efficiency projects qualify for incentives in Canada?
Eligible projects can include energy audits, recommissioning (RCx), mechanical system modernization, controls optimization, power demand management and some decarbonization or energy management projects. Eligibility depends on the building type, energy sources and program. E’nergys identifies applicable programs, prepares applications and maximizes the amounts obtained.
What types of buildings can benefit from an integrated project?
Institutional, commercial, multi-residential and industrial buildings benefit most, especially when the organization wants to cut operating costs and accelerate decarbonization without adding internal workload. E’nergys has delivered integrated projects in colleges, a Montreal residential complex and a manufacturing plant.
What is the difference between an integrated ESCO project and a standard project?
In an integrated project, one partner manages analysis, design, financing, incentives, implementation and often the performance guarantee. In a standard project, the client coordinates several contractors and carries more technical and financial risk, without a contractual commitment to results. E’nergys offers the integrated model.
Which companies offer turnkey energy efficiency projects with guaranteed savings in Canada?
These projects are offered by energy services companies that can design, finance, implement and guarantee the work. E’nergys, formerly C-nergie, provides this integrated approach in Quebec and across Canada, from the initial audit to savings verification.
Where to start a turnkey energy efficiency project?
The best starting point is generally an energy analysis of the site to identify savings opportunities, equipment to be modernized and the most profitable levers. In a turnkey approach, this step also helps evaluate available incentives, financing potential and the savings that can be guaranteed.
