Optima Energía is a Mexican energy and utility service company working substantially in the Mexican tourism sector. Optima Energía provides energy services including an in-depth analysis of energy and water consumption in a property, identification and design of savings opportunities, installing the required equipment and maintaining the system during a contract period of typically 10 years while at the same time financing the investments. In a typical property, Optima Energía would develop and bundle cost saving measures, which could include installation of generators for use at times of peak tariff, installation of high efficiency air conditioning chillers, with recovery of waste heat for hot water and seasonal swimming pool heating, and often cooled by sea water, heat pump heating of hotel hot water, and reverse osmosis (RO) of seawater to provide potable water. Optima Energía enters into performance based contracts with its clients, where the savings in energy and water costs generated by the project during the contract period are used to pay back the capital investments. Financial savings are shared between the hotel and Optima Energía. The project consists of implementing such bundled energy and water saving projects at up to six hotels, in Mexico.
