contractor
I think they've just used the English term instead of the normal German (which is, as Co_rina says, 'Auftraggeber')

Ein Kontraktor/Contractor liefert (hier) Wärme, erhält darüber einen langfristigen Vertrag und finanziert die Anlage zur Wärmeerzeugung . Er ist damit ein AuftragNEHMER, kein Auftraggeber!
