ESE Solutions

What ESE Solutions does

ESE Solutions S.R.L. is an Italian energy efficiency consultancy founded in 2014 and headquartered in Brescia, Lombardy. The company was established by Alessandro Milesi and Luca Gasparetto to provide energy efficiency and renewable energy advisory services to enterprises and public entities classified as large energy consumers under Italian law (D.M. 5 aprile 2013 / D.Lgs. 102/2014), as well as to sustainability-focused organizations seeking voluntary ESG positioning. The founders remain actively involved in operations, and the entity retains a founder-controlled S.R.L. structure with a paid-in share capital of €20,000 and no disclosed institutional investors.

The service portfolio is structured around six integrated offerings: Diagnosi Energetiche (systematic energy audits to map consumption and quantify savings opportunities); Soluzioni per l'Efficienza Energetica including Third Party Financing and Energy Performance Contracts (Contratti a Garanzia di Risultato); Certificati Bianchi / TEE management as a GSE-accredited intermediary; ISO 50001 energy management system implementation; outsourced Energy Manager (EGE) services; and Sviluppo Sostenibile consulting. ESE holds UNI CEI 11352 ESCo certification and aligns its practice with UNI CEI 11339, UNI CEI EN ISO 50001:2018, UNI CEI EN 16247-1, and UNI CEI EN 15900:2010 frameworks. The GSE intermediary accreditation is a regulated credential and constitutes the operational backbone of the white certificate revenue stream.

ESE operates a B2B, sales-led, project-based consulting model with no self-service or marketplace channel. Services are delivered from a single Brescia office to domestic (Italy) clients, primarily within Lombardy. Pricing is bespoke per project with no publicly disclosed rate cards, and revenue mechanics rely on professional services engagements plus intermediation fees from TEE processes. Marketing is executed through content publication on regulatory developments, organic social (Facebook), and inbound contact forms. The company does not list named reference customers, has no public revenue disclosure, no app or API surface, no patents or awards on record, and no disclosed parent, subsidiary, or M&A activity.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Rekeep: Italian integrated facility management provider with significant energy efficiency and ESCo offerings, serving enterprise and public-sector clients. Competes with ESE Solutions where facility management and energy efficiency intersect, particularly for outsourced energy and sustainability mandates.
• Renovit (Snam Group): Energy efficiency and sustainable development platform of the Snam Group, focused on building decarbonization, energy efficiency projects, and ESG advisory across Italy. Comparable to ESE Solutions on energy efficiency project delivery and sustainability consulting, with partial overlap on the GSE-related energy services ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Italia: Italian operations of Siemens, offering energy management solutions, building technologies, and energy efficiency advisory to enterprise clients. Comparable to ESE Solutions at the energy management systems and ISO 50001 layer, though delivered through a global technology platform rather than local consulting.
• Hera Servizi Energia: Energy services subsidiary of the Hera multi-utility group providing ESCo services, energy audits, and thermal/electrical efficiency projects to public and private clients in Italy. Comparable to ESE Solutions on energy audits and ESCo deliverables but anchored in a multi-utility parent with regional dominance in Emilia-Romagna and broader Italy.
• A2A: Italian multi-utility offering energy efficiency services, white certificate intermediation, and integrated facility solutions to enterprise and municipal clients. Overlaps with ESE Solutions on the regulated energy efficiency advisory layer and is a meaningful competitor for Italian ESCo mandates.
• ENGIE Italia: Italian arm of ENGIE, offering energy efficiency, facility management, and multi-technical services to enterprises and municipalities. Overlaps with ESE Solutions on energy audits and efficiency advisory but operates as part of a much broader multi-utility and services portfolio.
• Schneider Electric Italia: Italian operations of Schneider Electric, providing energy management software, hardware, and advisory services (including EcoStruxure and energy audits). Comparable to ESE Solutions on the energy management and ISO 50001 layer but distinguished by a hardware/software-led offering rather than pure consulting.
• Iren Energia: Energy arm of the Iren multi-utility group, providing energy efficiency services, district heating, and ESCo deliverables in northern Italy. Overlaps with ESE Solutions on the energy efficiency consulting layer and shares a northern-Italian regional footprint.
• Enel X: Enel Group's energy services and digital solutions arm, with offerings in energy efficiency, demand response, and sustainability advisory for enterprise customers. A broad incumbent in the Italian energy services space with overlapping energy audit and efficiency capabilities, though at vastly larger scale and with embedded technology platforms.

Direct peers

• Siram (Veolia Italia): One of the largest Energy Service Companies in Italy, providing energy audits, ESCo services, and energy efficiency project implementation to enterprise and public-sector clients. Directly comparable to ESE Solutions on core services (energy audits, ISO 50001, white certificate management) but at significantly larger scale and backed by Veolia's global platform.
