• 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…
• News 6 October 2021 Kenya kickstarts a Super ESCO for boosting energy efficiency The government of Kenya has announced the creation of a Super Energy Service Company (ESCO). The Super ESCO will develop and implement energy efficiency projects for both the public and private sectors and will be run by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company. The creation of the Super ESCO is supported by the African Development Bank and is based on Kenya's National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (KNEECS) developed with technical support from UNEP DTU Partnership's Copenhagen Centre…
