Energy Service Company (ESCO) Business Model
What is an ESCO? ESCO is an organization that offers
a broad range of energy-saving solutions, including energy audits, design and implementation of energy conservation measures, operation and management of introduced facilities, and procurement of project funds.
The basic concept of ESCO is that the client does not have to incur any upfront capital investment and is only responsible for the payment for the investment made or arranged by the ESCO.
Two key remuneration models of ESCO contracts: shared savings and guaranteed savings

Status of ESCO in Vietnam
Overview The ESCO market in Vietnam is still in its infancy and unlikely to develop without sustained
government support.
There are about 15 “so-called” ESCOs operating in Vietnam. These are generally small in size and weak in asset base.
Data on level of ESCO activities is limited
Majority of ESCOs in Vietnam remain incapable in terms of finance and technology, therefore they only offer simple services and haven't fully met market demand
Most of ESCOs can not access to financing due to limited financing capacity and weak balance sheet.

Legal Framework
The Law No. 50/2010/QH12 on Energy Efficiency and Conservation took effect in 2011;
Decree No. 21/2011/NĐ-CP of the Government provides guidance on the implementation of the Law on Energy Efficiency and Conservation;
Decision No. 1427/QĐ-TTg dated 2nd Oct. 2012 approving the National Target program for Energy Efficiency and Conservation in period 2012-2015;
Decision No. 1393/QĐ-TTg dated 25th Sep. 2012 approving the National Green Growth Strategy;
The Law No. 59/2005/QH11 on Investment; and its guidance documents; The Law No. 60/2005/QH11 on Enterprises; and its guidance documents; The Law No. 14/2008/QH12 on Corporate Income Tax; The Law No. 45/2005/QH11 on Import Tax and Export Tax.
Market Opportunity for ESCO Development in Vietnam
Huge market potential Power consumption is forecast to increase from 81TWh
in 2010 to 451TWh in 2030 while supply is shortage.
More than 1,200 key energy-consumption facilities using over 1,000 TOE per year
The total investment needed for EE projects during 2011-2015 is US$ 847m
Fuel shortage after 2015 Vietnam has started to import steam coal and oil
products over the last 5 years
Although oil is currently its largest source of export revenue, Vietnam is projected to become a net importer by 2015

Market Opportunity for ESCO Development in Vietnam (Cont.)
Current efforts of the Government and international organizations to create electricity market based on competitiveness Removal of fuel subsidies
Power sector reform based on competitive market
Interest of stakeholders in energy efficiency market Campaign on EE launched in Nov 2012 under which Vietnamese firms having EE projects will
have an opportunity to borrow capital from various financial institutions such as:
IFC at $100 million
Danish embassy at $30 million
Asian Development Bank at $100 million
World Bank at $70-$100 million, and
Japan International Cooperation Agency at $50 million

Difficulty accessing financing Scarce capital and immature banking sector
ESCOs are not aware of how to access financing
Unawareness of existing grants, loans, credit facilities offered by a large number of international financial support mechanism.
Unclear system for accessing domestic source of capital
ESCOs and their clients are unknown or not considered creditworthy
Lenders is lack of familiarity with EE financing
Lenders is lack of confidence in return of EE projects
High administrative and transaction costs related to technical challenges, time-consuming contract negotiation, lack of a legal and
institutional framework and complicated government procurement rules
Major Challenges for ESCO Development in Vietnam
Governmental supports in terms of policies and measures are not sufficient: No tax incentives
Lack of an effective overarching and comprehensive EE policy framework
Insufficient financial support and assistance
Electricity price subsidies negatively effect energy investment
EE is not yet regarded as top business priority by many companies Users are not fully aware of EE and not confident that equipments deployed can achieve projected
savings
Challenges of the EPC business model: Low profit margin due to electricity price subsidy
The uncertainties associated with remuneration based on guaranteeing savings
Risks associated with clients who do not fulfill their end of the contract
The costs associated with preparing complicated bids that may not be successful

Case Study 2: Thailand’s ESCO Fund
Having a focal agency to coordinate all EE programs funded by local and international organizations.
Developing financial support mechanisms: Dedicated debt agencies, development funds or grants, loan guarantees… Thailand’s EE Revolving Fund and ESCO Fund could be suitable models to learn.
Building legal framework for ESCO business Capacity building: ESCOs, bankers, end-users, governmental agencies.
Recommendations for ESCO Development
