EPC contracts have aroused great interest both in the region and the country of Norway thanks to the ENSAMB project. On the 428 municipalities that Norway counts, more than 50 municipalities are now in the EPC process, while it was only adopted by 5 to 10 municipalities when the project started. The project has been a significant contributor to the preparation of the new Norwegian norm "General conditions of contract for energy performance contracting (EPC)" – NS 6430:2014, which demonstrates its showcase dimension and replicability. Joint procurement of energy performance contracts offer a large replication potential to the many small municipalities across Europe that would like to invest in sustainable energy projects. The project developed a systematic approach that lowers the threshold for energy efficiency investments in other similar areas. It enabled the development of a template organizational model and rules for inter-municipal cooperation between small municipalities. It prepared a roadmap for the use of appropriate tools (especially EPC) for such investments in municipalities with limited resources.

Expected results

Leverage factor: 19


The energy refurbishment of condominiums has been identified as a great challenge across Europe because of its complex structures, including multi-ownership, governance, building management and maintenance arrangements.

The project focuses on the development of EPC for low-energy refurbishment, which will be tailored to condominiums, going beyond normal market standards. The Ile-de-France region launched a public-private venture in order to develop an ESCO. This venture is set-up as a Semi-Public Company (Société d’Economie Mixte), with shares held by the Regional Council, Local authorities and private partners. POSIT'IF fills a market gap by developing an all-inclusive "Design-Implement-Operate" package with guaranteed energy savings and provision of Third Party Finance (TPF). The project has successfully addressed important legislative barriers to the development of comprehensive and effective EPC services to condominiums such as the development and operation of financial products by ESCOs. POSIT'IF is already a great driver for achieving the Ile-de-France Region's goal to refurbish inefficient housing and a reference model for similar refurbishment projects in France and Europe.

The project wishes to explore how the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) can support the economic viability and de-risking of low energy efficiency refurbishment investment through EPC schemes. It will increase the impacts of upcoming ERDF measures (2014-2020) on energy efficiency and tailor them to local specific needs. It will develop “network procurement” as a model to reduce time and cost of administrative tender procedures and increase the attractiveness of investments in public assets, which is highly replicable across the EU.

Also, an objective of the project is to make PPP and TPI a common practice in the realization of investment on energy efficiency in the public sector. In that sense, it will serve as a roadmap for other municipalities across the EU.

Beneficiaries Rigas Tehniska Universitate (LV), RenEsco (LV), Eku Saglabasanas Un Energotaupibas Birojs (LV), Funding for Future BV (NL), EKODOMA (LV), SIA Salaspils Siltums (LV), eco.NRG SIA (LV)

Objective

To finance and implement deep energy renovations of 80 multi-family buildings (MFB) through Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) with a dedicated platform to build capacity in the ESCO market in Latvia. The project also plans to set up a forfaiting fund that will purchase future receivables from EPC schemes and thereby support the growth of the ESCO market.

Method Support public and private ESCOs to implement an innovative investment scheme by establishing a special purpose fund for EPC.

Planned investments Deep energy renovations of Multifamily buildings (MFB)

Main activities

- Create and implement a new financial structure for forfaiting receivables from EPC in Latvia;

- Deeply refurbish at least 80 multi-family buildings. - Build capacity for the ESCO market to deliver deep energy efficient renovation

of MFBs through an online platform; - Develop full building renovation plans: energy auditing, building simulation and

load analysis, building technical appraisal and costs benefit analysis;

Energy savings: 26,4 GWh/year RES production: N/A GHG reduction: 7,000 tCO2e/year Investments: EUR 29,4 million Project costs: EUR 1,555,991

Expected results

Leverage factor: 19


In emerging EPC markets like Latvia, there are not enough track records for banks to offer forfaiting services to ESCOs. The project delivers the same service by establishing a special purpose fund for EPC.

The project will demonstrate the financial viability of deep renovation via suitable financial engineering of public funds and private capitals. This will hence attract additional private investors (particularly high impact and green investors) and reduce public funding participation while increasing the access to less expensive capitals. The new financial scheme and platform for MFBs deep renovation will increase Latvians' interest and knowledge about deep energy renovation. It will be a basis for further investments in Latvia as well as for replication in other EU countries with a similar housing stock.
