Energy provider Younicos announced the launch March 13 of a new “Energy-Storage-as-a-Service” rental offering, allowing customers to meet immediate storage requirements without risk or long-term capital commitment. Customers can choose from a range of containerized solutions, which will be shipped to their site and operated by Younicos.
The company is initially offering rental contracts with a 2- to 4-year minimum duration, but will make available multi-month contracts beginning in 2019. Customers will pay a rental fee, as well as mobilisation and de-mobilisation charges, but will incur no other costs or risks, to meet their storage requirements, the company says.
