An Energy Service Company (ESCO) identifies and evaluates energy saving opportunities in<br />
industrial units, commercial complexes, hospitals, municipalities, buildings and utilities by using<br />
energy audit tools and recommends a package of improvements that can pay for itself through<br />
the resultant savings.<br />
ESCOs provide their clients with comprehensive services - encompassing audits for energy<br />
saving performance, design & implementation of conservation measures, maintenance,<br />
operation and management of the introduced facilities and procurement of project funds. ESCOs<br />
conduct retrofitting for energy conservation without damaging the environment. The ESCO will<br />
guarantee the savings that would meet or exceed the annual payments to cover up the entire<br />
project costs usually a period of 5 to 10 years. The savings can be shared proportionately with<br />
the institution for which the project is designed and implemented for.<br />
The salient features of performance contracting for energy savings through ESCO based<br />
business model are as under:<br />
1. 'Nil' investment by customer.<br />
2. ESCO to identify Energy Efficient Measures (EEMs) to replace / modify existing in<br />
efficient systems.<br />
3. ESCO supplies, installs and maintains the Energy Efficient Measures (EEMs) during the<br />
contract period.<br />
4. Contract period could be 3-5 years or as mutually agreed upon.<br />
5. Energy saving is shared between ESCO and customer as per agreed terms. Total project<br />
cost is funded by ESCO. The O & M expenses will be met by the <strong>Municipal</strong>ity.<br />
6. Guarantee Energy savings and recover its investment including interest & other costs out<br />
of generated energy savings.<br />
