SESSION 38: ENHANCING EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY

ESCO Business Model for Promoting Energy Efficiency


Dr. Eng. / Tarek ElShennawy (ANRPC)

1
Agenda
Ø Energy Efficiency in the Petroleum Sector
Ø Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)
Ø ESCO business models:
Ø Shared savings model
Ø Guaranteed savings model
Ø The concept of Super ESCO
Ø Conclusions & Recommendations
2
Energy Efficiency (EE) & CO2 Emissions
4
Barriers to Energy Efficiency (EE)
in the Egyptian Petroleum Sector

Ø Top management often focus on Production.


Ø Operators resist change (keep it running).
Ø Lack of energy specialists.
Ø Mistrust of new technologies.
Ø No organizational structure or allocated budget.
Ø ISO 50001 Certification!
Ø Lack / difficult access to finance.
5
Energy Service Company (ESCO)

Ø An ESCO is a company that provides EE


services, that include engineering, procurement,
installation, commissioning, measurement and
verification of savings.
Ø It allows the client to focus on his core business.
Ø The ESCO can finance the EE projects by itself
or can arrange for the client to have a loan from
a financing institution or bank.
6
Energy Service Company (ESCO)

7
Energy Service Company (ESCO)

Ø ESCOs emerged in USA in 1980’s.


Ø Replicated successfully in UK, Germany, Canada
and Japan.
Ø ESCO business models are classified based on
their role in financing EE projects. The most
commonly used models are
- Shared savings business model.
- Guaranteed savings business model.
8
Shared Savings ESCO Model

Ø ESCO provides financing needed to


implement the EE projects.
Ø The owner does not invest in the project but
receives a share of the energy savings during
the contract period and all the savings after the
contract period.
Ø Suitable for clients with limited capital.
9
Shared Savings Example

• Cost of Project = 10 Million $ (paid by the ESCO)


• Estimated annual energy savings = 5 Million $
• The savings may be shared as 4 Million $ for the
ESCO and 1 Million $ for the client during the
contract period (for example 5 years).
• After the contract period, all the savings will go to
the client.
10
Guaranteed Savings ESCO Model

Ø ESCO is not responsible for financing.


Ø The client is responsible for financing in addition
to paying all the ESCO expenses.
Ø ESCO guarantees energy savings from the
project. It is obligated by the contract to repay
savings shortfalls over the life of the contract.
• The client keeps all financial savings produced by
energy upgrades. 11
Guaranteed Savings Model Example

• Cost of Project = 10 Million $ (paid by the client in


addition to 2 Million $ (ESCO expenses).
• Estimated annual energy savings = 5 Million $
(guaranteed by the ESCO during the contract
period). If savings exceed 5 Million $, it will go
completely to the client. Otherwise, the ESCO will
pay to the client any shortfall to achieve its
guaranteed savings. 12
Which is better for your facility?

• A guaranteed savings model is more attractive for


larger organizations with a great deal of capital
to fund the cost of the initial project.
• Whereas a shared savings model is ideal for an
organization that lacks the funds or means to
secure capital funding from a traditional lender
(such as a bank).

14
Super ESCO

Ø Attempts to implement ESCO model in Egypt


are unsuccessful.
Ø Super ESCO can be a good solution.
Ø A Super ESCO is an entity (firm or company)
that is established and financed by the
Government and functions as an ESCO for
implementing projects in government-owned
(public) facilities. 15
Role of the recommended Super ESCO

1. Arrange financing from local and/or international


financial institutions.
2. Develop standard contracting models.
3. Organize super tenders on behalf of its clients.
4. Follow-up projects’ execution and hand-over
5. Follow-up Measurement and Verification (M&V).
6. Serve as a model for other Super ESCOs in
various sectors of the country.
16
Recommendations

Ø Legalizations are required to allow companies


to sign contracts with the ESCO companies.
Ø The petroleum ministry is invited to consider
establishing a Super ESCO responsible for
fostering energy efficiency projects in the sector.
Ø This Super ESCO can overcome many barriers
in the sector to implement EE measures in a
comprehensive and systematic approach.
