The core business of the company is energy efficiency, rationalization of energy consumption through ESCO model and installations of metering systems for energy consumption. ESCO comes from the English abbreviation for Energy Service Company and marks the business model where the ESCO company completely finances energy or water saving projects, and is payd only from the part of savings, which is achieved through a defined number of years.
