Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. energy service company (ESCO) industry is an example of a private sector business model where energy savings are delivered to customers primarily through the use of performance-based contracts. ESCO has largely been a successful model for the cost-effective delivery of energy-efficient technologies and services to public/institutional sector customers. This book analyzes the market size, growth projections and industry trends in ESCO, drawing on information from interviews with ESCO executives conducted in late 2012. It also provides a preliminary estimate of remaining ESCO market potential in terms of the onetime project investment potential and annual blended energy savings remaining in U.S. buildings typically addressed by ESCOs, based on market penetration estimates provided by ESCOs and industry experts. The book reports the range of impacts of the U.S. economic recession on ESCOs' state and local institutional projects and their use of incentives, tax credits, and financing mechanisms.
Download or read book Evolving Energy Service Companies in China written by International Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy service companies (ESCOs) deliver energy efficiency projects that are financed through the resulting energy cost savings. ESCOs can thus unlock energy efficiency action by addressing barriers related to funding and technical expertise. Despite their potential, many governments still struggle to stimulate development of a market for ESCOs. Evolving Energy Service Companies in People's Republic of China, (“China” hereafter) provides an overview of how China has built the world's largest and fastest growing ESCO market over the past decades. This report highlights how the government's strategic measures to set up key agencies for ESCOs, engage the State-Owned Enterprises, and encourage market play by bringing in commercial players, in line with China's socio-economic transition, have been critical to making the Chinese ESCO model a success. Looking ahead, ESCOs in China continue to evolve, for example by using digital technologies to make their businesses more sustainable and lucrative. Based on the insights gained from a survey of major ESCOs in China, the report highlights the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation and provides some policy insights.

Book excerpt: The U.S. energy service company (ESCO) industry is an example of a private sector business model where energy savings are delivered to customers primarily through the use of performance-based contracts. This study was conceived as a snapshot of the ESCO industry prior to the economic slowdown and the introduction of federal stimulus funding mandated by enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). This study utilizes two parallel analytic approaches to characterize ESCO industry and market trends in the U.S.: (1) a "top-down" approach involving a survey of individual ESCOs to estimate aggregate industry activity and (2) a "bottom-up" analysis of a database of -3,265 projects (representing over $8B in project investment) that reports market trends including installed EE retrofit strategies, project installation costs and savings, project payback times, and benefit-cost ratios over time. Despite the onset of an economic recession, the U.S. ESCO industry managed to grow at about 7% per year between 2006 and 2008. ESCO industry revenues are relatively small compared to total U.S. energy expenditures (about $4.1 billion in 2008), but ESCOs anticipated accelerated growth through 2011 (25% per year). We found that 2,484 ESCO projects in our database generated -$4.0 billion ($2009) in net, direct economic benefits to their customers. We estimate that the ESCO project database includes about 20% of all U.S. ESCO market activity from 1990-2008. Assuming the net benefits per project are comparable for ESCO projects that are not included in the LBNL database, this would suggest that the ESCO industry has generated -$23 billion in net direct economic benefits for customers at projects installed between 1990 and 2008. We found that nearly 85% of all public and institutional projects met or exceeded the guaranteed level of savings. We estimated that a typical ESCO project generated $1.5 dollars of direct benefits for every dollar of customer investment. There is empirical evidence confirming that the industry is responding to customer demand by installing more comprehensive and complex measures--including onsite generation and measures to address deferred maintenance--but this evolution has significant implications for customer project economics, especially at K-12 schools. We found that the median simple payback time has increased from 1.9 to 3.2 years in private sector projects since the early-to-mid 1990s and from 5.2 to 10.5 years in public sector projects for the same time period.

Download or read book Latest Development of Energy Service Companies Across Europe written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present report is an update of the "Energy Service Companies in Europe - Status Report 2005", which was published by the European Commission DG Joint Research Center in 2005. The European ESCO Status Report gave an overview of the ESCO concept and key definitions, the development of the energy service companies market across Europe, and a concise synopsis of the state-of-the-art in the European Union Member States and the Candidate Countries in 2004. The aim of the present report is to update and expand the scope of the Status Report 2005, and in particular to investigate the specific situation in every country in more detail. To this end, the authors sketch the current status of national markets, and identify changes that have occurred during recent years, and especially since 2004. In addition, the reasons behind the changes are investigated. Specific barriers are identified and potential interventions to increase energy efficiency investments and to exploit energy saving potentials through ESCOs across Europe are discussed. The primary scope of the report is the enlarged European Union (EU-27), however special attention has been given to examining the ESCO markets in countries that have usually been ignored by research, and thus the report is the first of its kind to scrutinize almost every country in Europe.

Download or read book Review of U S ESCO Industry Market Trends written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article summarizes a comprehensive empirical analysis of U.S. Energy Service Company (ESCO) industry trends and performance. We employ two parallel analytical approaches: a comprehensive survey of firms to estimate total industry size and a database of (almost equal to)1500 ESCO projects, from which we report target markets and typical project characteristics, energy savings and customer economics. We estimate that industry investment for energy-efficiency related services reached US $2 billion in 2000 following a decade of strong growth. ESCO activity is concentrated in states with high economic activity and strong policy support. Typical projects save 150-200 MJ/m2/year and are cost-effective with median benefit/cost ratios of 1.6 and 2.1 for institutional and private sector projects. The median simple payback time is 7 years among institutional customers; 3 years is typical in the private sector. Reliance on DSM incentives has decreased since 1995. Preliminary evidence suggests that state enabling policies have boosted the industry in medium-sized states. ESCOs have proven resilient in the face of restructuring and will probably shift toward selling ''energy solutions, '' with energy efficiency part of a package. We conclude that a private sector energy-efficiency services industry that targets large commercial and industrial customers is viable and self-sustaining with appropriate policy support both financial and non-financial.
Download or read book Energy Efficiency Financing and Market Based Instruments written by Yang Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to investigating the policy design and effectiveness of financial and market-based instruments to promote energy efficiency financing. The concept of this monograph is to present the latest results related to energy efficiency funding schemes, energy efficiency obligations, voluntary agreements, auction mechanisms, and Super Energy Services Companies (Super ESCOs) in major jurisdictions across the world. The book focuses on financial and market-based instruments as they deliver a price signal, which provides an incentive for firms to invest in innovation or implement more energy-efficient technologies and deliver energy savings while minimizing costs. Such instruments can have significant advantages for the government, supporting the fiscal sustainability of the government’s energy efficiency efforts, requiring less enforcement than regulation and according the market flexibility to select the most cost-efficient technologies. This book is highly recommended to researchers, policy experts, and business specialists who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview of energy efficiency financing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa is currently experiencing very high shortages in electricity supply with energy (electricity) prices increasing excessively. This necessitates businesses in all sectors to explore implementing renewable energy and energy efficiency strategies for saving energy and reduce costs to enhance the shortage of electricity supply and generation. Energy Service Companies called ESCos namely; Tier 1 (Full ESCos), Tier 2 (developing ESCos) and Tier 3 (start-ups) implement this energy. However, the industry has not grown into a vibrant industry, mostly start -up Energy Service Companies have a high failure rate in the market. The aim of the study was to develop a business model as a guideline that start-ups need to follow in gaining full market potential using a benchmarking process. The research study followed a grounded theory approach, which involved literature review on existing business models frameworks, ESCo models, journals, business reports and ESCo reports and opinion of stakeholders during conferences, seminars, trainings and workshops associated with the study. Findings from the collected data included the status and local performance of ESCos root cause of the low performance of start-up ESCos as well as success factors of international ESCos for benchmarking purposes. A strong correlation between the data collected on literature, observations and field notes recorded during the events attended were identified which resulted in four additional elements to the existing canvas elements. The study resulted in a business model and was validated using expert opinions with analytical hierarchy process decision support model. The results obtained from the weighted decision matrix and analytical hierarchy process confirmed profitability as the most suitable criteria in measuring business model efficiency with an assessment of (8.332); followed by efficiency (6.218); scalability (4.112); and robustness (1.562). The optimal performance of the business model is important in helping start ups gain market entry and help businesses in South Africa with the implementation of energy projects and alleviate energy challenges.
