Energy Partners is a global pioneer in Cooling as a Service (CaaS).
- We build (or take) refrigeration systems off-balance sheet (We invest all the capital)
- We measure refrigeration efficiency through our EP Cooling Meter on a 5-second interval (63m data points/yr)
- We contractually guarantee temperature AND energy efficiency for the full duration of the CaaS contract.
+65% of Life Cycle Cost of cooling is electricity.
Electricity drives the cost of cooling, yet in practice only temperature is controlled.
CoP (Coefficient of Performance) measures the efficiency of electrical energy conversion to cooling energy.
CoP = kWR/kWe
For lowest cooling Life Cycle Cost:
- guarantee Temperature AND
- guarantee CoP...
Energy Partners pioneered the EP Cooling Meter that measures CoP, enabling a globally unique CaaS offering.
Our integrated CaaS value chain shifts 100% of operational and financial risk of refrigeration from client to Energy Partners.

CaaS Summary
- Free up capital. (Energy Partners makes 100% investment.)
- Reduce operational risk to 0%.(ALL O&M included in cooling tariff.)
- Ensure lowest cost/least electricity for maximum cooling - guaranteed.
We design, implement and construct fully integrated cooling installations, tailored to meet client needs.
- Development of natural refrigerant projects: Ammonia and CO2
- In-house design and engineering team, experienced in offering the most cost-effective solution possible in terms of life cycle costing
- In-house management of projects, with no outsourcing of construction risk.
With 25 skilled teams based countrywide, we provide clients with tailor-made service and maintenance solutions, available 24/7.
- Corrective maintenance
- Preventative maintenance
- Predictive maintenance
- Compliance: SAQCC, SANS10147, PER
- Plant monitoring and optimisation, with weekly dashboards tracking performance, efficiency and energy consumption.
Our triangulated approach to asset management secures our clients’ cooling supply.
- Efficiency:
We monitor and maintain system CoP to ensure the least amount of electricity is used per unit of cooling, reducing its environmental impact and carbon footprint - Availability & Accessibility:
We ensure that our cooling system is available 24/7, year-round - Compliance & Acceptability:
We deliver site compliance to both our clients (contractual temperature and efficiency obligations) and the regulatory authorities (inspections and vital system information), providing complete transparency and accountability.
We have more than 25 years’ experience in offering clients innovative cooling solutions that provide the best balance between cost, performance and environmental responsibility.
- Natural refrigerant specialists: Ammonia and CO2 systems
- Post-harvest refrigeration: Handling and treatment of fresh produce
- Industrial refrigeration: Process cooling, ventilation and climate control
- Industrial HVAC design: Food processing, high risk areas and drying facilities
- System efficiency modelling: Software utilised to generate digital twins to simulate optimal plant solutions.
