Financing methods

Even if investments contribute to significant savings, and their pay-back period is very short, they often require large investment outlays to be available forthwith. We provide financing methods for such energy efficiency investments in the EPC (Energy Performance Contract) model or in the ESCO (Energy Saving Company) model.

Who is it addressed to?

  • companies without sufficient technical skills to implement a project autonomously
  • companies which anticipate to have an investment financed
  • a client who searches a guaranteed energy efficiency result

ESCO

The fee is defined as a percentage of saved energy costs throughout the contracted period.

Identifying possible energy-saving investments

Drawing up the most suitable plan for energy efficiency improvement

Approval of a delivered plan for energy efficiency improvement

Investment financing – financial risk is assumed by an ESCO company

Project implementation – technological risk is assumed by an ESCO company

Confirmation of fulfilled technological recommendations and savings

Savings division between an ESCO company and a client. Savings, which are divided, are estimated since the beginning of a project.

EPC

The fee is defined as a bonus, which is estimated as a percentage of the investment value once an energy efficiency result is reached.

Mutual project development

The technological risk and partially the financial risk are assumed by Willbee

A client bears investment costs which are related with a construction process, a margin of an ESCO company is excluded

Confirmation of fulfilled technological recommendations and savings

Single financial settlement with an ESCO company which depends on an achieved technological result

ESCO and EPC – advantages:

  • profit is maximised, whereas risk is minimized
  • an investment is designed and implemented by the same entity which guarantees an energy efficiency result to be achieved
  • an investment is designed and financed by an ESCO company, and a proportion of energy gains is attained by a client from the first day of project implementation
  • the fee depends on obtained results which contributes to full engagement of an ESCO partner to maximize savings
  • uncomplicated purchasing processes (only one executing company is involved)
  • projects capture additionally non-core tasks which may contribute to even broader reduction in energy consumption
