A business that offers comprehensive services on energy conservation to clients, who in return will offer a part of their energy saving gains (saving on utility bill, etc.)
The business has two forms: "Guaranteed savings agreement" where customers cover business costs and "Shared savings agreement" where the ESCO business covers business costs. These options enable service provision according to customer needs.
ESCO stands for Energy Service Company.
