Street lights
TNUIFSL has initiated the preparation of Energy Saving Company(ESCO) studies
for energy efficiency in the O&M of street lights and pumping machinery for
select Municipalities throughout Tamil Nadu. ESCOs provide comprehensive
services - encompassing audits for energy saving performance, design &
implementation of conservation measures, maintenance, operation and
management of the introduced facilities and procurement of project funds.
ESCOs conduct retrofitting for energy conservation without damaging the
environment. The ESCO will guarantee the savings that would meet or exceed
the annual payments to cover up the entire project costs usually a period of 5 to
10 years. The savings can be shared proportionately with the institution for which
the project is designed and implemented for.
The salient features of performance contracting for energy savings through ESCO
based business model are as under:
2. 'Nil' investment by customer.
3. ESCO to identify Energy Efficient Measures (EEMs) to replace / modify existing
in efficient systems.
4. ESCO supplies, installs and maintains the Energy Efficient Measures (EEMs)
during the contract period.
5. Contract period could be 3-5 years or as mutually agreed upon.
6. Energy saving is shared between ESCO and customer as per agreed terms.
Total project cost is funded by ESCO. The O & M expenses will be met by the
Municipality.
7. Guarantee Energy savings and recover its investment including interest &
other costs out of generated energy savings.
