The reports comprise a series of recommendations for optimizing the performance, capacity, availability and efficiency of critical infrastructure, ultimately increasing energy savings. Vertiv will provide total support from consultancy and execution to 24/7 monitoring and maintenance services, requiring no capital expenditure (CAPEX) from the customer with Vertiv fully financing the project as part of the ESaaS contract.

We look forward to building on this new Energy Savings as a Service partnership, creating strong and long-lasting value together with Telefónica.”

Vertiv has been fundamental in our achievements, and we trust that through this partnership we can make much greater strides forward.”
