Contract types
ESCO service contract concluded between a customer and Azbil Corporation is roughly divided into two types according to the way of fund raising.
The first type is the Guaranteed-Savings Contract where customers raise fund for initial investment by themselves, and the second type is the Shared-Savings Contract where Azbil Corporation shoulders the initial cost. In both types of contracts, Azbil Corporation guarantee the amount of energy cost reduction, from which facility investment can be recovered.
