3 Different approaches for ESCO Agenda Energy Services in general Energy Supply Contracting (ESC) Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Facilitators
4 Different approaches for ESCO Agenda Energy Services in general Energy Supply Contracting (ESC) Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Facilitators
Benefits of energy efficient technologies or systems (for energy consumers) Reduction of operational cost Improved profits Tap potentials to (co-)finance investments Reduced dependency on volatile or rising energy prices Improved system performance, e.g., Reduced number of failures/down times Reduced exposure to black-outs Improved comfort/performance levels Increased asset value Reduced environmental foot-print 5
Motivation for energy services Barriers to implementation of energy efficiency measures: Lack of capacities Lack of information Lack of motivation (energy not core business) High upfront investment costs Solution: Energy Services 6
Energy Services A simple definition Energy Services Application of energy efficiency know-how by third party + Performance related remuneration and/or risk transfer Energy Service Company (ESCO) = Provider of Energy Services 7

Energy services Involved stakeholders Energy supplier e.g., Energy utility Customer e.g., Public institution Company Facilitator e.g., Energy agency Consultant Financing institution e.g., Bank Public fund Private investor ESCO e.g., Energy utility Engineering company Energy agency Institutions setting legal framework e.g., Parliament Energy authority 23 Subcontractors, suppliers etc. e.g. Builders Suppliers Insurances
EPC facilitators support client in an EPC project by Support in building/facility identification and pooling Baseline elaboration Tender preparation (incl. Contract) and evaluation Management of the procurement process Support in the annual evaluation of savings and assessment of changes in use Moderation between client and ESCO 24
EU funded project: EESI 2020 Regional support to 9 large cities and metropolitan regions to establish EPC Integration of EPC in long-lasting energy and climate plans EPC task forces > 20 pilot projects Focus on the demand side EPC Best practice database Marketing material Focus on EPC project facilitation Facilitator guidelines (in national language) ca. 30 Training events/workshops Promotion of EPC, e.g. through Energy Service Award Website with useful documents: www.eesi2020.eu
