Build · Own · Operate
Industrial energy — without
the capital.
LES finances, builds, and operates your energy plant. You pay only for what you consume — no capital outlay, no maintenance headaches, no fuel sourcing. One partner. One invoice.
How it works
Three letters. Zero capital.
The BOO model inverts the traditional energy investment: we carry the capital and operational risk, you get guaranteed cheaper energy from day one of commissioning.
Build
We design & install
Our engineers design, procure and commission state-of-the-art energy infrastructure at your site — biomass steam plants, solar PV, chilled water and treated water systems — all funded by Lean Energy.
Own
We own it — you keep your capital
All capital investment is ours. The plant sits on your land under a long-term agreement, but it stays on our balance sheet. Your cash stays in your core business.
Operate
We run it for the long term
Our team handles all operations, maintenance, fuel supply, and residue management for the full contract period. You get a single monthly invoice based on what you consumed.
