Lesson #5
Measure value creation
Successful energy projects create the foundation for future sustainability investments.
Measuring outcomes is therefore just as important as identifying opportunities. Tracking results enables consistent evaluation of investments, improves future decision-making and strengthens confidence in energy performance as a value creation strategy.
How we do it
Portfolio-wide value creation tracking
To evaluate energy investments with the same discipline as other investments, Slättö tracks value creation outcomes across the portfolio. The objective is not only to measure energy savings, but to understand how energy improvements translate into higher income, increased asset value and lower risk.
| Energy Value Creation Tracker | |
| Total asset value before energy capex, EUR | 630 m |
| Energy capex, EUR | 7.2 m |
| Increase in NOI as result of energy capex, EUR | 0.9 m |
| Increase in asset value through higher NOI, EUR | 18.2 m |
| Multiple on Capital from energy capex | 2.5x |
The tracker helps us monitor outcomes and continuously improve Slättö’s approach to energy investments.
It measures direct value creation: the net operating income effect of energy uplifts, capitalized in higher asset value. Additional value, not included in the calculation, is lower risk and potential for tighter yields at trade.
Not all energy capex is invested at 2.5x MoC - some investments have a lower return profile but are still value accretive and reduce risk.
Only stand-alone energy projects are included in this analysis, not the energy uplifts that are part of a broader asset repositioning. Therefore the value creation tracked is a conservative assessment.
