What PerPetum does
PerPetum Energy BV, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Nazareth-De Pinte, Belgium, is a vertically integrated Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) provider that designs, finances, builds, owns and operates on-site multi-technology energy systems for energy-intensive industrial customers across Europe. Its product stack integrates six core technologies — solar PV (rooftop, ground-mounted, floating, and carport), on-site wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), EV charging infrastructure, power-to-heat electrification (electric boilers and high-temperature heat pumps up to 150°C), and a proprietary Energy Management System (EMS) — into a single behind-the-meter energy hub. The EMS is the operational intelligence layer, providing real-time asset orchestration and AI-driven predictive optimization across 200+ MWp of assets, with the Companion Energy partnership-enabled Active Steering Platform continuously balancing generation, storage, consumption and grid signals against market prices and weather forecasts.

Revenue model
- Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS): PerPetum designs, builds, finances and operates integrated on-site energy systems. Customers pay a service fee for delivered energy (per MWh for heat, per kWh for electricity) without any upfront capital investment. The company retains ownership of assets on its balance sheet and provides long-term price predictability. Revenue is recurring over 10-20 year contract terms.
- Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): Long-term power purchase agreements for renewable energy supply. Customers secure fixed-price renewable electricity without upfront investment. PerPetum finances, builds, owns and operates the generation assets, selling the electricity to customers under multi-year contracts.
- EPC and O&M Services: Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Operation & Maintenance services for energy projects. PerPetum delivers turnkey solutions from development through commissioning and provides ongoing operational management and performance optimization.
- Asset Ownership and Investment: PerPetum invests its own capital in energy assets, building a portfolio of owned and operated projects. Revenue comes from energy sales to customers under long-term service agreements. The company has invested €240M in its portfolio.

Products and services
- Solar Energy Solar PV installations across rooftop, ground-mounted, floating, and carport configurations, engineered for complex industrial environments with high-voltage grid connections and behind-the-meter integration to maximize self-consumption. Designed for energy-intensive industrial customers.
- Wind Energy On-site wind generation integrated with solar and storage as part of a broader site-integrated renewable energy solution, providing complementary generation profiles to solar for more stable renewable coverage on active industrial sites.
- Battery Storage (BESS) Battery energy storage systems that decouple energy production from consumption, enabling energy autonomy, peak shaving, load smoothing, and strategic energy use. Provides system flexibility for EV charging, electrification, and scaling renewables without grid reinforcement.
- Energy Management System (EMS) Proprietary software platform that connects and orchestrates all energy assets (solar, wind, storage, EV charging, electrification loads, grid signals) into a single control layer. Provides AI-driven predictive optimization, real-time asset orchestration, and continuous performance monitoring, configured around customer objectives for cost reduction, energy autonomy, or decarbonization.
- EV Charging Smart charging infrastructure with dynamic load balancing for peak shaving and optimal use of renewable energy. Covers passenger vehicles, vans, light commercial and yellow fleet/industrial vehicles, fully integrated with solar, storage and the Energy Management System.
- Power-to-Heat Industrial electrification solutions including electric boilers, high-temperature heat pumps (up to 150°C), and thermal storage for replacing gas-fired processes. Integrated with on-site renewables and the Energy Management System to maintain competitive heat costs per MWh_thermal.
- Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) Full-service integrated energy delivery in which PerPetum designs, builds, finances, owns and operates the on-site energy system, and the customer pays a service fee for delivered energy (per MWh for heat, per kWh for electricity) over 10-20 year contracts with no upfront capital investment.

PerPetum competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- LichtBlick: Germany's largest provider of 100% green electricity with an Energy-as-a-Service division (LichtBlick Energy as a Service GmbH), targeting industrial and commercial customers with integrated renewable and flexibility solutions. Directly comparable to PerPetum in business model and target market, and is the prior employer of PerPetum's new CEO.
Others
- Schneider Electric: Global industrial energy management and automation leader whose EMS and energy management software offerings (EcoStruxure) overlap with the optimization layer of PerPetum's stack. Comparable as an industrial energy management and electrification solutions provider, though broader in scope and primarily a technology supplier rather than asset owner.
Broad incumbents
- Statkraft: Europe's largest generator of renewable energy and a major PPA originator, increasingly active in industrial flexibility and corporate renewable supply across Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Comparable as a large European counterparty in the same industrial renewable and flexibility markets.
- Engie: One of Europe's largest energy companies with a dedicated B2B decentralized energy infrastructure business (Engie Solutions) offering industrial energy efficiency, on-site generation, and EaaS to large customers. Competes with PerPetum in industrial decarbonization across Benelux, France, and Germany, with vastly greater scale and balance sheet.
- Vattenfall: Swedish state-owned utility with growing operations in industrial power-to-heat, on-site solar, and flexibility services across Northern Europe. Already a PerPetum customer (1.2 MWp floating solar at Netterden) and a direct competitor for large European industrial decarbonization contracts.
- EDF Renewables / EDF B2B: French state-owned utility with major corporate PPA origination, on-site solar development, and industrial energy services in France, Belgium, and broader Europe. Comparable in scale, technology, and target customers, and a key competitor in PerPetum's French and Belgian operations.
- Axpo: Swiss energy company with significant European B2B energy services, solar IPP, and PPA origination businesses, increasingly active in industrial decarbonization in France, Germany, and the Benelux. Comparable in customer segment and renewable energy solutions offered.
- Alpiq: Swiss energy services provider with European operations in industrial energy supply, flexibility, and renewable generation. Competes in similar C&I energy markets in Germany, France, and the Benelux, and is comparable in its B2B, asset-backed, multi-technology approach.
Regional players
- Enovos: Luxembourg-based energy services provider with a B2B focus on industrial and commercial energy supply, on-site generation, and energy management in the Benelux and Greater Region. Comparable in business model and target customer segment, with strong overlap in the Western European industrial market.
- Eneco: Dutch integrated energy company with a strong business customer focus in the Netherlands, offering on-site solar, heat networks, and EaaS to commercial and industrial customers. Direct regional overlap with PerPetum in the Dutch market and similar behind-the-meter value proposition.
