Third Energy Package. New Relations in the Energy SectorAtanas Georgiev
油
Liberalization of the energy market - what are the expected effects for consumers? Who are the alternative energy suppliers? How to manage the load profiles of consumers? What is the role of the "balancing groups"? Who are the "last resort" suppliers?
And what is the role of Energy Management for better energy consumption performance? The transition from "energy supplies" to "energy services"
The document summarizes the development of energy performance contracting (EnPC) in Slovakia, particularly the public sector, over the past 30 years. It outlines key periods including an early start in the late 1990s, a market shut-down from 2006-2012 due to EU grants, and a restart and stabilization from 2012-2019. In 2019, Slovakia introduced "Maastricht-neutral EnPCs" in line with Eurostat guidance to exclude private EnPC financing from public debt reporting. However, the market has slowed significantly due to limitations of Maastricht-neutral EnPCs for comprehensive building renovations and banks' risk perceptions of potential savings shortfalls.

The document is a newsletter from the Global ESCO Network providing updates on ESCO activities and developments around the world. It introduces the GEN and its goals of driving government action to scale up ESCO contributions to climate change mitigation. It then provides news about ESCO associations in Asia, Europe, and Bulgaria, including key achievements and challenges. Finally, it outlines the GEN's 2023 action plan focused on communication, data collection, and policy development to promote ESCOs globally.
Innovative financing schemes for energy efficiency and saving in buildingsKiril Raytchev

The document discusses two European Commission-funded projects - SUPER-HEERO and FinEERGo-Dom - that are developing innovative financing schemes to promote increased energy efficiency, especially in buildings. The projects aim to help overcome barriers to the uptake of such schemes for different end users like supermarkets, households, and public buildings. They are working on solutions like standardized contracts and a building energy efficiency facility to attract private financing that can boost the energy transition process. The projects offer relevant results including innovative financing schemes for supermarkets and support mechanisms to renovate public and private buildings in multiple countries.
Benefiting from Open Data in the Energy Efficiency SectorKiril Raytchev

This document discusses using open data to benefit energy efficiency projects. It outlines several open data sources that contain over 5,000 records of energy performance data. The document also discusses challenges with financing deep renovation projects and strategies for financial institutions, ESCOs, and energy consultants to overcome these challenges and unlock more energy efficiency projects and investments. These include adapting financial products, building trust through a center of excellence, and providing ready-made client and project lists to streamline the process.
The document discusses the Bulgarian ESCO market and perspectives on energy efficiency financing. It finds that ESCO activity and investments in Bulgaria have been decreasing in recent years. Major obstacles for ESCOs include regulations prohibiting feasibility studies, requirements that only energy savings be considered, and that only third-party financing be used. Looking ahead, unlocking private investment through an ESCO facility is seen as key to meeting Bulgaria's energy efficiency targets, as grants alone will not be sufficient to finance the billion BGN size of the market expected by 2030. New ESCO models and bundling projects are also proposed to drive more efficient financing.
