1.2 The Luxembourg Sustainable Energy Finance Program (LuxSEF)<br />

As indicated in in the overview discussion, a critical financial mechanism that would underpin<br />

the interaction between supply and demand for sustainable energy resources at infrastructurescale<br />

is called LuxSEF. LuxSEF operates in parallel to the LSDFP, in particular connecting with<br />

participants who have been informed and motivated by LSDFP, and who, in turn, can design<br />

and implement cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy investment projects. It<br />

enables infrastructure-scale change through structured and standardized arrangements<br />

between capital providers, ESCOs, and program participants (public and private). Such a model<br />

is necessary when one considers the significant self-funding potential that is available within<br />

Luxembourg. By way of example, we can illustrate the potential scale of a Phase I investment<br />

scenario to upgrade the Luxembourg building stock to a higher level of energy performance.<br />

Table 1 summarizes an assessment of the self-funding investment potential of buildings which<br />

might be upgraded in the Grand Duchy. The investment magnitudes, at full potential, cover<br />

both rooftop solar energy and energy efficiency upgrades, amounting to €5.8 billion over the<br />

next ten years or so. Of this €5.8 billion, the energy efficiency investment potential is €3.2<br />

billion while rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) represent €2.6 billion. Further details<br />

underpinning the magnitude of potential investmensts are provided in subsequent discussions<br />

that follow. 213<br />

Luxembourg might choose to develop; rather, it only highlights the potential scale of the opportunity<br />
