Key people at Metrus Energy.
Metrus Energy provides an Energy as a Service (EaaS) model, developing and financing comprehensive energy efficiency and clean energy upgrades for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. The company fully funds these projects, covering everything from HVAC and LED lighting to solar installations, and assumes project performance risk. This integrated approach combines technical delivery with financial services, enabling organizations to implement significant energy improvements without upfront capital expenditure or balance sheet impact.
Bob Hinkle founded Metrus Energy in 2009, driven by the realization that a significant barrier to large-scale energy efficiency adoption was the lack of innovative financing mechanisms. His insight led to the creation of the Sustainable Energy Services Agreement (SESA), a proprietary structure designed to align incentives and simplify the procurement of complex energy upgrades for facility owners. This mechanism directly addressed the market need for a performance-based, off-balance sheet solution.
The company serves large organizations across various sectors seeking to enhance operational resilience, reduce energy consumption, and advance sustainability goals. Metrus Energy’s long-term vision centers on accelerating global decarbonization by removing financial hurdles to climate action. They aim to empower organizations to achieve net-zero targets and drive significant environmental impact through accessible, risk-free energy solutions.
