ESCO project financing solutions: the bridge between energy efficiency projects and finance providers

Recent developments within the energy efficiency market offer new and innovative solutions to finance energy efficiency business models implemented by Energy Services Companies (ESCOs), focused on the renovation of existing infrastructure to be repaid totally or partly through energy savings. These solutions support ESCOs in accessing finance, which is usually a major obstacle for small and medium-sized ESCOs with a limited balance sheet. Depending on project sizes and clients, different financing mechanisms and schemes can be used: working capital loans, leasing, sales of receivables, special-purpose vehicles or dedicated financial instruments.

This webinar will showcase the most relevant examples of ESCO project financing solutions being offered or developed by banks, funds or specialised investment structures on the energy efficiency market.

This event is organised as part of the Sustainable Energy Investment Forums contract, funded under the EU Horizon 2020 programme and managed by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).

The presentations are available for download on the dedicated page in CIRCABC. The video recording is available on YouTube.
