Kyotherm finances, co-develops and structures your project, allowing you to focus on your core business.
Structuring & Development
- We work with our technical partners to identify the most technically and economically viable solution.
- We play an active role in setting up the contractual structure.
- We cover the full investment cost of the project, thus preserving the customer’s investment capacity and allowing them to focus on their core business. If needed, our financing solution can be structured to be recorded off balance sheet (IFRS 16).
Construction & Operations
- We provide support during the construction period.
- During operation, we cover operating costs such as routine maintenance, minor maintenance (P2), major maintenance and equipment renewal (P3).
- The customer benefits not only from a performance guarantee, but also from financial protection against rising fossil fuel prices.
- The customer repays the investment through a fixed or variable fee, depending on actual consumption or savings generated.
End of contract
- At the end of the contract, ownership of the plant is transferred to the customer.
- The customer then benefits from all the financial gains generated by the project, and can use the facilities until the end of their useful life.
A virtuous approach for our technical partners
Our expertise in renewable heat production and energy performance projects allows us to work effectively with our technical partners to identify the best technical and economic balance.
Our legal expertise allows us to propose a contractual structure adapted to each project and execute in a swift manner. We ensure a balanced distribution of operational and financial risks.
Our demonstrated experience in renewable energy projects structuring together with our financial resilience allow our technical partners and clients to remove counterparty risk.

We aim to grow our portfolio by building long term tripartite partnerships with technical partners and developers.
