Eneco’s GroenGebouw™ offers a 10-year sustainability partnership combined with an energy contract that guarantees stable costs, high yields, and continuous sustainability guidance.

(PRESS RELEASE) ROTTERDAM, 3-Apr-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Solease and Eneco have joined forces to establish a joint venture dedicated exclusively to Eneco’s new product for the business market, Eneco GroenGebouw™. Under this collaboration, the two companies will offer property owners a comprehensive, full-service solution to enhance the sustainability of their commercial premises. The service covers everything from initial analysis and advice to financing and the installation of sustainable technologies.

Founded in 2011, Solease has set an ambitious goal to equip every suitable rooftop in the Netherlands with solar panels. As the first company in the country to lease out solar panels, Solease quickly became a leader in making sustainability improvements easily accessible for real estate owners. Over time, it has broadened its offerings to include insulation, heat pumps, charging stations, and home batteries. Initially targeting consumers, Solease has expanded its market focus to include the SME sector, making a partnership with Eneco a natural progression. Together, they aim to assist companies with large-volume connections in transforming their business premises into sustainable, energy-efficient facilities.

Eneco GroenGebouw™ is designed as a new full-service concept tailored for business customers, offering a 10-year sustainability partnership paired with an energy contract. This innovative solution ensures that property owners receive energy at stable costs, high financial yields, and regular, up-to-date sustainability advice based on the latest industry developments.

Although it might seem counterintuitive for an energy supplier to help customers reduce their electricity usage, Eneco views this approach as essential for shifting perspectives on energy consumption and preparing the Dutch business sector for the future. The joint venture with Solease is set to make this transformation seamless by removing the typical obstacles associated with large-scale sustainability improvements.

Pierre Vermeulen, CEO of Solease, commented, “For years, we have provided our customers with comprehensive sustainability improvements. We remove all the barriers so that they can focus on their core business while saving money and reducing CO₂ emissions, backed by our technological expertise.” Solease’s CFO, Roderick van Wisselingh, added, “Sustainability upgrades often require significant capital investment, which can deter companies. That’s why our collaboration with Eneco is so exciting—it offers an integrated solution, including financing, to larger business customers such as sports clubs and retailers.” Dick Velings, Managing Director of Eneco B2B, explained, “Our GroenGebouw concept proves that sustainability can be simple and cost-effective. We handle all aspects of the process, ensuring that our customers enjoy competitive energy costs, increased property values, and expert, ongoing advice.”
