Vision & Mission – Values – AYA Energy’s name – Founders’ story

Vision & Mission

AYA Energy, a one-stop-shop to whom you outsource your energy management, envisions a world where decisions towards sustainibility are massively embraced thanks to a positive bottom line impact.
Whilst you save money, together we accelerate the energy transition through innovative and sustainable energy solutions.

AYA Energy’s mission is to rethink the way companies handle their energy consumption, and thereby make the environment they operate in more sustainable. It offers organisations competitive access to proven technology and services that increases their sustainability whilst saving money.

At AYA Energy we believe that a poor understanding of complex and opaque economic incentives is to blame for companies’ timid decisions in increasing their overall sustainability.

Therefore, AYA Energy focuses on services and solutions that create significant financial value for its clients.


AYA Energy’s role in the energy transition it aims to accelerate is twofold:

– First, AYA Energy helps its clients rethink their energy consumption by mapping (free of charge) the potential value creation and helps them understand the solutions and economics that fit their business needs and ambitions. AYA Energy autonomously steers its clients from A to Z through the process enabling significant and sustainable financial value creation.

– Secondly, and at the same time, AYA Energy wants to use the power of its clout (generated by the aggregated clients) to stimulate suppliers to innovate their offer as well as their functioning towards more sustainability.

AYA Energy’s name

Semantically AYA Energy is derived from the name of the endogenous vine ayahuasca which is used in traditional medicine among indigenous populations of the Amazon basin to spiritually transcend whom consumes an entheogenic brew including ayahuasca as main ingredient. AYA Energy aims to emulate this transcending feature as it proactively works towards transcending society, in particular with regards to energy sustainability.

Founders’ story

Both founders have been passionate about sustainability for many years, and in particular the energy transition. Launching AYA Energy, a one-stop-shop to whom you outsource your energy management, was the natural outcome of their decision to proactively accelerate the energy transition by leveraging their skills’ complementarity as well as their common ambition and strong drive.
