- Webinar & E-Learning 19 October 2021 Unshackling ESCO Potential: Public Financial Mechanisms that Enhance the Viability of ESCO Projects (Webinar) – 21.09.2021 In order to reduce the annual growth in global energy demand through 2040 from 1.0% to 0.3%, an estimated USD 24.5 trillion in energy efficiency (EE) investments will be needed. Across developed energy service markets around the world, the public sector can potentially mobilize the bulk of that capital by creating a demand for ESCO services and introduce financial mechanisms that will enhance project viability. Such initiatives could include the use of energy performance contracting in public…
- Webinar & E-Learning 19 October 2021 Motivating both supply and demand for energy services: the Chilean case (Webinar) – 20.04.2021 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 14 October 2021 Closing the Energy Efficiency Knowledge Gaps (Webinar) – 24.09.2021 Energy efficiency – the low hanging fruit of climate action – needs to be improved, but it requires the right mix of skills and knowledge Improving energy efficiency is widely recognised as a key element and a low hanging fruit in addressing climate change while at the same time contributing to sustainable development. Specifically, energy management represents a significant opportunity for building, transport, industrial-commercial, and other sectors to reduce their energy use while…
- Tools 11 October 2021 Solar PV on municipal buildings: a guide to feasibility and financial analysis Building scale renewable energy is the most impactful action that cities can take to decarbonise their energy sector, especially with the rapidly falling costs of renewable energy technologies. City governments can move fastest by using their own underutilised rooftop space to generate electricity with solar PVs. Not only is this a cost-efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, but it can also reduce municipal reduce energy costs and generate financial…
- Webinar & E-Learning 8 September 2021 Building trust in ESCOs in a developing country context: the case of Kenya (Webinar) – 24.08.2021 To achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), developing countries need to enhance their efforts and skills to make improvements in energy efficiency that require relatively less investment. Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) are recognized as potentially important contributors to such improvements, but the ESCO markets are not yet well developed in developing countries. Kenya has a relatively blank sheet of paper for developing the right frameworks for ESCOs to address the…
