EnerProject

What EnerProject does

EnerProject Srl is a Trieste, Italy-based Energy Service Company (ESCo) founded in 2012 as a spin-off from Enerlife, specializing in energy efficiency for industrial plants. The company invests its own capital under Energy Performance Contracts (EPC) and shared-savings agreements, providing end-to-end project delivery — from feasibility studies and engineering design through installation, financing, and ongoing monitoring — to industrial clients in food & beverage, pharmaceutical, packaging, cold-storage/logistics, and select service sectors. The portfolio spans complementary offerings: biomethane procurement (a bridge service linking agricultural producers with industrial consumers), White Certificates (TEE) management under its UNI CEI 11352:2014 certification, and feasibility/project management services that often serve as the entry point into larger EPC engagements.

The technical backbone rests on two proprietary assets: the Neptune trigeneration system, an EU-research-funded technology that converts 100% of thermal energy from CHP into refrigeration at -20°C using only 90°C heat sources (versus 120–140°C for conventional absorption), and the in-house EnerLog/enerBUDDY PRO energy monitoring platform, which is real-time, remotely controlled, and compliant with Italian decree 102/2014 and UNI CEI EN ISO 50001. Operational track record includes plants achieving 82–84% total efficiency and project sizes ranging from 240 kWe to several MWe, with named deployments at Stevanato Group, Fareva Group, San Pellegrino, Illy, Coats Cucirini, and Stevanato-affiliated Nuova Ompi among others.

EnerProject is a privately held, bootstrapped firm with share capital of €1,403,500 and a team of approximately 14 professionals — including CMVP-certified engineers, EGE-certified energy managers, FGas-licensed technicians, and a PhD in mechanical engineering specializing in ammonia absorption systems. The capital structure is anchored by the Pacorini family (founders), Paolo Ricciulli (Cavaliere del Lavoro, joined 2015), and Pietro Perelli Rocco (infrastructure veteran, joined 2016). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company operates primarily in Italy (Northeast, Northern, Central) with limited cross-border activity in Slovenia.

Revenue model

1. EPC Contracts: Energy Performance Contracts where EnerProject invests its own capital in energy efficiency projects. Their return on investment is directly tied to the technical-economic results achieved. Clients pay nothing upfront as EnerProject finances the entire project and recovers investment through shared savings.
2. White Certificates (TEE) Management: As a UNI CEI 11352:2014 certified ESCo, EnerProject manages White Certificates (Titoli di Efficienza Energetica) for clients on the GME market, accelerating investment returns.
3. Project Management Services: Managing complex energy efficiency projects from start to finish, coordinating with 54+ different parties including suppliers, contractors, consultants, and government officials.
4. Feasibility Studies: Technical and financial analysis of different energy efficiency scenarios, including payback time calculations in various scenarios.
5. Biomethane Support Services: Bridge service connecting agricultural sector with industrial consumers for direct biomethane purchase agreements, helping agricultural partners decarbonize industrial processes.
