What’s missing in the energy efficiency ecosystem?

Friday 27 September 2013

My latest guest blog on the 2 Degrees can be found here:

http://www.2degreesnetwork.com/groups/energy-carbon-management/resources/whats-missing-energy-efficiency-ecosystem/

In it I discuss the things we need to evolve if the energy efficiency market, and particularly the third party financed energy efficiency market, is to really take-off and achieve its large economic potential. These include:

the capacity in the energy efficiency supply chain to develop large-scale, multi-site, multi-customer projects
capacity amongst customers to host such projects
project developers with risk equity to develop such projects
standardization of approach and methodology driven by the needs of investors
possibly some form of front-end technical assistance funds to help developers shape projects to the needs of long-term investors and hence to be able to access capital at the right cost of capital.
