The Problem

You're running on fossil fuel —
and running at a loss.

Heavy fuel oil, diesel and unstable grid power aren't just operational headaches. Every shilling spent on them is a shilling not spent growing your business.

Industrial smokestacks emitting steam at an energy facility
01

Fuel costs keep climbing

Heavy fuel oil and diesel prices are volatile and trending upward — quietly eating into your margins every single month.

+18% fuel cost since 2023
02

Grid power you can't rely on

Unstable supply means unplanned downtime, damaged equipment, and missed production targets you can't get back.

Frequent outages, Nairobi grid
03

Capital tied up in utilities

Boilers, backup generators, maintenance contracts — capital that could be funding growth instead sits idle in equipment.

Capital locked in equipment 74%
The Solution

Steam as a Service. Zero capex.
Up to 25% savings in energy cost.

We design, install, own and operate your steam, heat and utility systems. You simply pay for what you consume — at a lower cost than today.

Questions

Everything you need to know before you talk to us.

Yes. Under our Build-Own-Operate model, LES funds, installs and owns the equipment on your site. You only pay for the steam, heat or utility you actually consume — there's zero capital outlay and no financing to arrange on your end.
Your energy price is fixed at signing. Across our client base we typically deliver up to 25% in fuel cost savings, confirmed upfront through a free steam audit before you commit to anything.
LES owns the plant for the full contract term — it's our asset, our problem. All maintenance and repairs are covered; you pay only for the energy you consume, and downtime is our commercial risk, not yours. At the end of the term you can extend, purchase at fair market value, or have us decommission it — your choice.
A 15-year initial term, renewable by mutual agreement. Full turnkey delivery, annual boiler inspection and certification, and a dedicated on-site operations crew are included — one monthly invoice, no hidden fees.
Step-up and step-down provisions are built into every contract, so the system can scale with you as you expand or downsize production.
No. LES handles ERC licensing, EPRA approvals, NEMA environmental assessments and county notifications — your regulatory burden is zero.
We're active across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and West Africa — with 90 TPH of steam generation capacity installed across the region — serving manufacturing, food processing, hospitality, FMCG, healthcare and real estate clients.
You get a clear, no-obligation proposal showing your projected savings, installation timeline and system design. You decide if and when to move forward.
