- Event 14 April 2021 ESCO Accreditation Experience Around the World An Energy Service Company (ESCO) accreditation process can be implemented in an Energy Efficiency (EE) market to assess and accredit all companies wishing to operate as ESCOs and implement contracts that include performance conditions. Accreditation provides recognition of a firm’s competence in fulfilling certain standards of performance and is based on a review of certain of its activities but not all. Indeed, accreditation is quite different from certification guaranteeing the an…
- News 13 April 2021 Linking TNAs and NDCs to enable technology transfer Accelerating technology transfer The information that TNAs provide about the potential, ability and scale of climate change technologies can play a unique role in the formulation and implementation of NDCs, through technology transfer. Actions identified in the Technology Action Plans (TAPs) highlight what needs to be done to activate robust market systems and the enabling conditions for technology transfer, diffusion and uptake. These actions can in turn strengthen longer-term strategies…
- Project 12 April 2021 Euroclima+ project on Energy Efficient Municipal Buildings in Argentina Stimulating public policies, action and capacity on energy efficiency in municipal buildingsThe actions contained in this project are focused on the municipalities since they make up the closest link between public administrations and citizens, creating an opportunity for improvement and transfer of experience to buildings of other institutions and companies in their territory. Savings and energy efficiency under this project would help meet the mitigation objectives of Argentina's…
- News 7 April 2021 New research project on the collection and recycling of electronic waste from off-grid solar devices Sales of small off-grid solar PV systems have exploded in the last 10-15 years, especially in Africa. In rural areas without access to electricity, these systems are typically used to power everything from mobile chargers and lanterns to radios, televisions and refrigerators. However, their lifespans are often short, raising concerns about a looming waste crisis. Furthermore, they often contain hazardous substances such as heavy metals, with potentially adverse impacts on human health and the…
- Event 7 April 2021 Motivating both supply and demand for energy services: the Chilean case Since its beginning in 2012, the National Energy Efficiency Association of Chile (ANESCO Chile A.G.) has been in the front of promoting energy efficiency and the ESCO model in Chile, dealing with barriers and myths against EE in the public and private sectors. The growth of the ESCO sector and the disseminations of its benefits and visible achievements have been essential for the EE market in the private sector. In the public sector, showing the ESCO model's compatibility with the rules of the…
- Webinar & E-Learning 26 March 2021 Overcoming Regulatory and Policy Barriers To Catalyzing ESCO Development Globally (Webinar) – 23.03.2021 International experience demonstrates that energy service companies (ESCOs) can contribute substantially to scaling up implementation of EE projects. However, ESCOs face multiple barriers for their particular business model. Many of these are regulatory and policy based - and many are unintended. Governments can facilitate and promote the establishment and growth of ESCOs through legislative, regulatory and policy initiatives to overcome the barriers. Dilip R. Limaye is sharing his 30 years of…
