FINANCING

The Financing Structure

The financing structure of the ESI model is designed and adapted to local markets and available financial instruments. The main goal is to provide clients the option to access financing for energy efficiency investments using the ESI model in more competitive and favourable conditions.

The main aspects of the financing structure are:

FINANCING FOR CLIENTS
Client as investor and credit taker for energy efficiency project with ESI model
SAVINGS BENEFIT THE CLIENT
Energy savings which are promised by the technology providers and covered by the insurance are fully retained by the client, avoiding future payments negotiations.
PROVIDERS PAID BY THE CLIENT
Technology providers are paid for the full project including supply and installation of the energy efficient equipment, as well as for preventive maintenance and savings monitoring. A transparent payment schedule that is independent of achieved savings is agreed upfront in the contract.
GREEN LOANS MOBILISED
Banks mobilise their green credit lines (or create new products) for energy efficiency projects using the ESI model
linking existing instruments
The financing structure is flexible and is complimentary to existing supporting financial mechanism for energy efficiency (e.g. incentives, credit guarantees, etc.) available in the country.
