- Publication 4 May 2023 Regulatory Barriers for Energy Service Companies 2023 (2nd edition) In this second edition of “Regulatory Barriers for ESCOs”, 19 ESCO associations have provided comprehensive answers to 15 questions that illuminate different aspects of regulatory barriers for ESCOs. The formulation of the questions was informed and inspired by interviews that were conducted in 2021 for the first edition of this publication, where focused interviews with 10 ESCO associations served as the basis for the analysis. The renewed analysis has been performed from March to May 2023,…
- News 24 March 2023 Energy efficiency for a liveable future The global climate crisis is threatening every human on the planet. Every increase in warming results in escalating hazards. More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall and other weather extremes further increase risks for human health and ecosystems, affecting vulnerable populations the most. The good news is that there are several possible ways to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, and they are available now. This is one of the main conclusions of the latest report from the…
- Webinar & E-Learning 3 March 2023 Super ESCOs (Webinar) - 22.02.2023 ESCOs have been struggling with the adapted financing component of their offer and the challenges that come with the needs of rapid payback from their clients. The Super ESCO scheme, developed a few years ago, has now been demonstrated in different shapes and forms mainly in the Middle East and in North America and may come to the rescue of ESCO market players. The Global ESCO Network’s first webinar in 2023 presents the Super ESCO concept and provides a review of the experience so far from…
- Webinar & E-Learning 13 February 2023 100 Good Practices of Sustainable Energy Actions in Cities – An Overview and Recommendations for Replication (Webinar) - 09.02.2023 Cities are the centres of economic activities and population in all parts of the world. From 2018 to 2021, the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2), in its role as the SEforALL energy efficiency hub, used a standard template to systematically collect good practices of energy efficiency actions in cities and published them in Copenhagen’s Centre Knowledge Management System. The C2E2 team gathered 100 good practices through extensive online searching and desk research, aiming to provide…
- Podcast 18 January 2023 Informed decision-making on portfolio decarbonisation using GHG accounting and lifecycle analysis Problem: Today’s podcast will explore the application and use of carbon footprint calculations, that is GHG accounting and lifecycle analysis, with Vanja Wylie. In today’s talk, we will discuss, among others, how to GHG accounting can inform decisions on energy efficiency. Key message: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a systematic, standardised approach to quantifying a product's or system's potential environmental impacts. GHG Accounting is more narrow in its assessment of environmental impacts…
- Webinar & E-Learning 14 December 2022 Can ESCOs solve the German energy crisis? (Webinar) - 06.12.2022 Germany is close to the centre of the European energy crisis caused by the interruption of Russian gas supplies. Apart from turning down temperatures and switching off public lighting, the real short-term answer is energy efficiency. The ESCOs should be at the centre of that agenda. At our last webinar of 2022, Rüdiger Lohse, head of the German ESCO association EDLHUB, will take the temperature of the German ESCO market in light of the current scramble to make ends meet in the energy market -…
- Webinar & E-Learning 14 December 2022 The Chinese ESCO market – Trends and Barriers (Webinar) - 25.10.2022 While ESCOs are trying to get a foothold in many markets, China has been standing out for two decades as the place where ESCOs seem to thrive. Half the world’s ESCO turnover, according to IEA, stems from the Chinese market!

- Podcast 2 December 2022 Energy Efficiency: From the Boiler Room to the Board Room Problem: Energy efficiency can enable more than 40% of the required GHG reductions to achieve global climate goals without requiring new technology breakthroughs. Improved energy efficiency has the potential to create new jobs, foster innovation, improve the productive use of electricity -i.e., cooling, clean cooking, lighting, heating, mobility, etc.- and boost economic growth. Energy efficiency is the fastest and most cost-effective way to reduce fossil fuel demand and build a cleaner and…
