Energy Efficiency Measures
  • Energy efficiency measures bring about energy savings due to reduced energy consumptions.
  • Energy savings are determined by comparing energy baseline with energy consumed after implementation of EE measures.
  • Energy cost savings resulting from EE measures directly benefit building owners and occupants over the life cycle of the building.
Barriers to Energy Efficiency
  • Lack of information about comparative energy use.
  • Risk due to lack of confidence in performance of new technologies.
  • Higher cost of EE technologies.
  • Asymmetry in sharing of costs and benefits.-especially in building sector.
Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)
    ESCO generally act as project developers for a wide range of tasks and assume the technical and performance risk associated with the project. They offer the following services:-
  • Develop, design and finance Energy Efficiency projects.
  • Install and maintain the energy efficient equipment involved.
  • Measure, monitor and verify the project's energy savings
  • Assume the risk that the project will save the amount of energy guaranteed.
Models of Performance Contracting
  • PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
    ESCO provide energy audit and operation and maintenance of retrofitted equipment with performance guarantee
  • SHARED SAVING
    Provide audit, finance and implement the measures under the performance contract with shared shavings.
Delivery Mechanism
  • Promotion of performance contracting through ESCOs
  • Build their confidence through regular inter-action and getting feedback
  • Standardize Monitoring and Verification Protocol for assessment of savings
  • Development of mechanism for contractual compliance of parties to the performance contract to increase credibility of providers of energy efficiency services.
