Nevel derisks energy investments for industrial companies

For industrial companies, purchasing energy solutions is a critical decision both financially and strategically. It directly affects production continuity, cash flow and shareholder value. That’s why it matters who invests in the energy infrastructure, who carries the risk and who takes long-term responsibility for the solution.

With Nevel’s partnership model, the responsibilities of both parties are clearly defined. Nevel fully funds the energy solution, allowing the customer to focus on their core business.

“Our partnership model covers the entire value chain from concept development and design to construction, procurement and project management,” says Jussi Blom, Account Manager at Nevel. “It is a comprehensive solution that maximises savings for our customers while improving long-term cost predictability, even in volatile market conditions.”

Throughout the contract period, Nevel is responsible for energy‑related permits, regulatory compliance, safety requirements and contractual and legal issues. Nevel also takes responsibility for fuel procurement and monitoring environmental impacts, supporting customers’ sustainability goals and the transition away from fossil fuels.

Shouldering financial risk so customers don’t have to

When investing in an energy solution on behalf of a customer, Nevel takes on the financial risk associated with the project. This sets Nevel’s model apart from traditional approaches, where the customer is responsible for the investment, schedules and cost development.

For most industrial companies, an energy investment is a strategically important but rare occurrence, whereas for Nevel it is part of everyday business.

“We deliver industrial energy solutions using our service model on a continuous basis. This allows us to identify risks early and tailor our solutions to suit each individual project. We operate around 150 energy production facilities, so we can use our practical experience to improve the reliability of every plant throughout its lifecycle,” explains Blom.

Simplifying day-to-day operations for customers

By assuming full responsibility for the energy solution, Nevel also simplifies day-to-day operations for customers. The customer does not need to allocate internal resources to plant design, construction or operation. Energy is delivered as a service, with transparent pricing and defined outcomes.

From a financial perspective, Nevel’s model improves the customer’s cash flow and often strengthens their capital structure. Because the customer does not need to fund the energy infrastructure, no capital is tied up and no project‑related costs are incurred during implementation.

“For many customers, this is a major advantage. They benefit from long‑term security of energy supply without burdening their balance sheet or limiting investment capacity in other parts of their business,” Blom notes.

A strong financial foundation to create lasting customer value

Nevel’s ability to assume full investment responsibility is based on the company’s strong financial foundation. In autumn 2025, Nevel completed a €665 million refinancing package, enabling targeted investments in energy infrastructure for industry and real estate customers while supporting long‑term, climate‑positive growth.

“Our strong financial position allows us to commit to investments and create lasting shareholder value for our customers throughout the entire contract period,” Blom states.
