Verify Markets, Jan 2011, Pages: 40
ESCO Definitions
For the purpose of this report, the definition of an ESCO will directly associate with the NAESCO definition as well as NAESCO's description of market explanations and history. An ESCO is a business that develops, installs and finances projects designed to improve energy efficiency and maintenance costs for facilities over a seven to ten year time period. ESCOs generally act as project developers for a wide range of tasks, and assume the technical and performance risk associated with the project.
Services typically offered include the following:
- Develop, design, and arrange financing for energy efficiency projects;
- Install and maintain the energy efficient equipment involved;
- Measure, monitor, and verify the project's energy savings; and
- Assume the risk that the project will save the amount of energy guaranteed.
- These services are bundled into the project's cost and are repaid through the dollar savings generated.
