Energy as a Service – Much More Than Just Generator Hire

Date: 09/05/24

Here at Think Hire, we’re proud to call ourselves the UK’s premier off-grid energy as a service provider. But what exactly is ‘energy as a service’ and how does it benefit both your business and the environment?

What is energy as a service?

Traditionally, energy has been supplied to consumers as a commodity. Your energy supplier simply supplied your energy, with no input into how it was used or managed. They had no interest in helping you to save energy or use less, as this would have a negative effect on their profits. The more energy your operation wastes, the more money your energy supplier made.

Energy as a service offers a much more holistic approach that goes far beyond supply. Energy as a service includes consultation, advice and expertise in system design, usage monitoring and consumption control. It’s an end-to-end programme of specialist support that is designed to make your site more efficient and more cost-effective, while also reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel use.

Energy as a service from Think Hire

As one of the country’s leading green energy companies, Think Hire are leading the way in delivering the energy as a service model. For us, it is not just a nice theory, it is a way of life, and it is how we have always supported our customers.

We don’t just provide generator hire and leave you to work out how to use it, our journey with you starts much sooner, and continues long after other generator hire companies would have walked away.

How energy as a service works

Our energy as a service model has five distinct steps, and it’s not until step four, when we are absolutely sure that it’s right for your site, that we will deliver your generator hire. By then, a great deal of the hard work has already been done to ensure that your generator hire gives you exactly what you, and our planet, needs.

• Step One – we begin by making a thorough assessment of your site, so that we can fully understand your unique energy demands.
• Step Two – once we have a full understanding of your requirements, we use our unrivalled expertise in renewable energy to identify the most environmentally friendly and commercially viable generator hire solutions.
• Step Three – these solutions are then proposed to you for your consideration, backed by detailed information to show why we recommend this particular generator hire set up.
• Step Four – the approved generator hire system is then delivered to site and set up by our expert team. They will explain exactly how to operate the equipment to gain maximum advantage and walk you through our cutting-edge remote energy monitoring systems.
• Step Five – Think Hire’s commitment continues long after delivery, as we monitor, manage and report on your installation to help you fine tune your energy use and benefit from best practice.
