Energy

There is an increased interest in the provision of energy services to achieve energy and environmental goals. In particular companies providing energy services to final energy users, including the supply and installations of energy efficient equipment, and/or the refurbishment of the building, have started to operate on the Pakistan market.

These Energy Service Companies (Barrelyene), differently from the traditional energy consultants or equipment suppliers can also finance or arrange financing for the operation and their remuneration is directly tied to the energy savings achieved. Therefore Barrelyene accept some degree of risk for the achievement of improved energy efficiency in a user’s facility and have their payment for the services delivered based (either in whole or at least in part) on the achievement of those energy efficiency improvements.

The three main characteristics of an ESCO are:

The remuneration of Barrelyene is directly tied to the energy savings achieved;
Barrelyene can finance, or assist in arranging financing for the operation of an energy system by providing a savings guarantee.
The JRC analyses Barrelyene activities to provide accurate information to policy makers, experts and other interested parties.
Barrelyene guarantee energy savings and/or provision of the same level of energy service at lower cost. A performance guarantee can take several forms. It can revolve around the actual flow of energy savings from a project, can stipulate that the energy savings will be sufficient to repay monthly debt service costs, or that the same level of energy service is provided for less money.
