Outsourcing all or part of energy management to a provider is increasingly compelling because of the rising complexity of available distributed energy technologies and the challenge of meeting long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction standards. Because of these various benefits, customers across all industries are continuing to adopt and explore EaaS solutions at scale.
