Aura’s proprietary EaaS model offers clients sustainable heating, cooling, and domestic hot water solutions, without the upfront capital investment. The model includes a pricing guarantee, ensuring that clients will experience cost savings in comparison to conventional systems while enjoying the benefits of renewable thermal energy over the 25 to 50 year term of their fixed price service contract. At the end of the term of the contract, ownership of the Systems will revert to the customer.
Under the five-year term of the agreement, SHARC Energy and Subterra Renewables will co-develop up to
This partnership leverages the synergies between SHARC Energy's WET technology and Subterra's geothermal expertise, allowing both companies to capitalize on their unique strengths.
Key benefits of this collaboration include:
- Reduced costs for geothermal projects by integrating wastewater energy, resulting in fewer boreholes needed and a smaller project footprint.
- Optimized performance of geothermal loops through wastewater energy's thermal buffering capabilities, stabilizing peak temperatures and enhancing energy efficiency & resiliency.
- Streamlined project execution by combining SHARC Energy's WET technology and Subterra's extensive geothermal experience, ensuring seamless integration of both systems.
- Both partners, although engineer agnostic, leverage Salas O’Brien for support creating design synergy for the Systems implemented
This collaboration will strengthen SHARC Energy's and Subterra Renewables’ market position, making it a viable solution for developers, investors, and governments seeking to invest in sustainable energy infrastructure. The integration of wastewater and geothermal technologies will create a competitive advantage for both companies, driving market share growth and diversifying revenues for SHARC Energy and its shareholders.
Although SHARC Energy will not maintain an ownership interest in the Projects, the Company will receive fees on qualified Projects that range from 2.5% to 5.0% of the total acquisition or installed cost of the Systems based on certain milestones (“Business Development Fee”). Furthermore, the Company will receive 35% of any net cash flows from Subterra on a development Project, net of debt service payments and operating expenses for a period of five (5) years from beginning of commercial operation of the Systems (“Waterfall Cash Flows”). Additional revenue opportunities outside of typical supply and service of WET equipment, such as in relation to project management, will be available to the Company on a mutually agreed basis.
SHARC Energy will continue to distribute its WET products through its representative network while leveraging this network to support the Projects. Also, members of SHARC Energy’s representative network will have the ability to offer Aura to their respective customers if they need such a solution. Finally, this partnership does not affect ongoing relationships with EaaS providers utilizing SHARC WET Systems as SHARC Energy will continue to supply and support these providers and projects unencumbered.
In connection with the partnership, the Company will issue 3,773,585 Common Share Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) at
