The
overall objective of this component called for the successful
development of an energy services companies (ESCOs) support
programme in creating a business sector capable of meeting
the energy efficiency challenges of the identified industrial
sectors of Malaysia.
The following workshops, seminars and training
sessions on business plans, financing, energy engineering
& design tools and energy auditing to build the capacity
of local ESCOs have been organised.

The transfer of knowledge and experience, facilitated by both
local and foreign experts, have assisted the ESCOs prepare bankable
proposals and market their services to a wider clientele.
The programme have also achieved the following:
| |
Developed
a suitable institutional and legal framework for ESCO
activities in the country |
| |
|
| |
Developed
institutional arrangements that promotes ESCO to the
industrial sector |
| |
|
| |
Advised
ESCOs in defining the feasible products and services that
they can offer and evaluate the risks associated with
performance contracting. |

What
is an ESCO?
An ESCO or
energy service company is one that is trained in providing
energy management services to industries/clients. Most ESCOs
began by providing engineering services or consultancies
to clients, but later, they moved into providing financial
solutions as well as risk mitigations for energy efficiency
activities. The ESCOs then started backing their services
with performance guarantees, secured the financing for the
project and introduced a method of loan repayment from the
savings enjoyed.
When do you require ESCO Service?
If you answer `Yes' to any or all of these
questions, then you are most likely in need of assistance
from an ESCO to implement energy efficiency improvement
projects.

Do you need help in identifying and implementing energy
efficiency projects? |
|
|
|
Do
you lack available/experienced staff to install and
manage the project? |

Do
you lack availabe/experienced staff to maintain equipment? |
|
Do
you lack financing? |
The
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)
One
of the project goals is to promote a scheme of implementing
energy efficiency projects that is more attractive than the
normal engineering solutions provided by equipment engineers
and suppliers. The MIEEIP has adopted the internationally-recognised
energy performance contracting (EPC) approach that will offer
a more viable solution to the industries, especially in a
financial market that has not included energy efficiency as
a potential portfolio.
The
fundamental principle of the EPC approach is the implementation
of energy efficiency projects by transferring the financial,
technology and management risks away from the energy end-user
to the ESCO.
Among the attributes
of performance contracting are:
| |
|
| |
It
offers turnkey services, including feasibility analysis,
design, engineering, installation and commissioning, maintenance
and financing; |
| |
|
| |
ESCOs
are compensated based on the performance of the projects; |
| |
|
| |
Most
of the technical, financial and operational risks are
borne by the ESCOs.

The
MESA
The
Master Energy Services Agreement (MESA) was drawn up by the
Malaysian Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Project
(MIEEIP) Team at Pusat Tenaga Malaysia as a sample document
to assist energy service companies and industries in the implementation
of energy efficiency (EE) activities. It is part of MIEEIP's
designated objectives in the overall aim of reducing the barriers
to the implementation of industrial EE activities through
capacity and institutional building
This is the first attempt at testing the viability of energy
efficiency projects under the energy performance contracting
(EPC) approach.
