Eneo Solutions is a Swedish company that was founded in 2013. Eneo Solutions provide clean energy solutions for companies, property owners, municipalities and regions. The company is specialized in solar PPA. Eneo Solutions' subsidiary Everenergy offers solar power solutions for residents associations. Both companies are headquartered in Stockholm.

Business
Eneo Solutions’ services cover three main offers: a full service solution (PPA), project management support and consulting services. In a PPA, Eneo Solutions build, operate and own the photovoltaic system during its entire life cycle.

The company was one of the first who introduced the PPA model in the Nordics. Eneo Solutions is one of the largest owners of solar power in Sweden today. In 2013 Eneo Solutions won the WWF Climate Solver award for its climate innovation: Renewable Energy-as-a-Service.

The energy produced by their photovoltaics (PV) facilities is sold to their customers who are large corporations, utilities and municipalities; and who have the solar panels installed on rooftops or as solar parks.

History
Eneo Solutions was founded in 2013 by Harald Överholm and co-founders Wilhelm Löwenhielm, Richard Nicolin and Max Metelius.

Inspired by Solar City
During his PhD studies in Engineering/Industrial Management at University of Cambridge, Harald Överholm made field studies among entrepreneurial solar cell companies in California, like Elon Musk’s SolarCity. His thesis studied new business and financial models can speed up the transition to clean energy. It was the business model PPA, that inspired Harald to start Eneo Solutions and offer the same models of financing and operation to businesses and public sector organisations in Sweden who want to go solar.

In 2015, the company closed its first solar fund of SEK 20 million and signed its first agreement on leasing solar panels, to Afa Fastigheter, a real estate company in Stockholm.

Signed Sweden’s First Solar PPA
In April 2017, Eneo Solution secured SEK 100 million in project funding from Infranode, an infrastructure fund. And in September 2017, Eneo Solution signed Sweden’s first solar PPA for a rooftop project in a tender held by the Municipality of Järfälla.

Owners and investors
Eneo Solutions is owned by its employees, a few private investors as well as the investment companies Gullspång Invest and Norrsken Foundation. Infranode is the partner for investments in energy facilities.
