This article is the second in a series on Facilitators in the ESCO market. The IEA DSM Programme is delving into this topic through its work in DSM Task 16: Competitive Energy Service (Energy Contracting, ESCo Services). This article is based on the Task 16 report ”ESCo Market Development: A Role for Facilitators”. The objective of this publication is to 1) create a scientific reference baseline for project/market Facilitators, which can be used for further discussions, 2) demonstrate the added value for a wider application of Facilitators in ESCo market development, and 3) provide guidance for facilitation services and activities as well as policy recommendations.
