Energy Solutions for Higher Education
Universities partner with Veolia to modernize campus energy and utility systems to improve reliability, control costs, and meet decarbonization goals without new capital. We help campuses operate more flexibly in an increasingly volatile energy environment while ensuring long-term infrastructure performance.
Flexible, Reliable Campus Energy for the Long Term
Aging infrastructure, rising utility costs, and sustainability mandates are forcing universities to rethink how campus energy systems are operated and financed. Veolia brings together grid flexibility, predictive analytics, and deep operational expertise to help campuses gain control without taking on new capital risk.
By actively managing how campuses generate, consume, and optimize energy, we reduce exposure to peak pricing, improve resiliency, and support academic and research continuity.
One Partner Across Campus Infrastructure
Veolia serves as a single, long-term partner responsible for operating, optimizing, and modernizing campus infrastructure. Our teams manage central utility plants, and complex thermal and electrical systems while continuously improving performance through digital monitoring and predictive control.
This integrated approach reduces deferred maintenance, improves reliability, and creates cost certainty—freeing campus leaders to focus on students, faculty, and research.
Modernization Without New Capital
Veolia delivers campus energy modernization through flexible models including Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) and Public-Private Partnerships (P3s). These structures align financing, operations, and performance under one partner, allowing universities to upgrade infrastructure, deploy on-site power, and enhance resiliency without upfront capital investment.
Performance guarantees and lifecycle accountability ensure long-term results, not one-time projects.
Proven Experience in Higher Education
From Ivy League institutions to large public universities, Veolia helps campuses modernize central plants, deploy grid-interactive infrastructure, and achieve measurable cost and emissions reductions—without increasing financial or operational risk.
Track campus energy performance in one dashboard with Hubgrade — where digital and AI meet human expertise.
Labs and Research Facilities
Expert lab packing, decontamination, and reactive chemical management ensure research continuity and regulatory compliance.
Electronics Recycling
Responsible processing of end-of-life electronics protects data security and maximizes material recovery.
Transportation, Recovery and Disposal Options
Our teams assess material according to the waste hierarchy, seeking first options for reuse, then recycling, then energy recovery and finally disposal when there are no other viable options.
