Energy Intensity (toe/2005 US$1000 GDP)

Approximately half of the reduction in energy intensity is due to energy efficiency improvements, implying an investment of $6-9 billion every year (5% of all investments) in energy efficiency
Sustained and enhanced reduction is required ; resources are not an issue, finding new projects in new sectors is the challenge

Pattern of Energy Efficiency Financing

Where is investment happening
?
• Energy cost is large in total
cost
• Impact on competitiveness due to inefficiencies
• Large Industries X

Where are public policies needed to promote investment flows ?
• Weak Balance Sheet
• Limited Knowledge
• Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) Ö
Invest on their own
• No Significant impact on competitiveness due to inefficiencies
• Small Commercial Buildings Ö
• Municipalities Ö
• Low Energy Cost
• Farmers Ö

Look for investments

Energy Efficiency Projects unable to attract financing

• Wide range of technologies, most with substantial experience with successful implementation, internationally as well as in India
• Relatively small project size – 10 Lakhs to 100 Crores
• Relatively short simple payback periods – generally one to
five years
• High proportion of project development costs
• Range of implementation business models with increasing
interest in performance based approaches
• Manageable risks – but very often, “new” risks

Promoting ESCOs* as a force multiplier

• High Cost of Investment
• Obsolete technologies
• Limited knowledge
• Limited resources
• Alternative Strategic Investments such as capacity addition or diversification
• Financing on balance sheet of ESCO
• Limited knowledge about ESCO
business
• Limited knowledge about energy efficient products
• Appraisal/Risk Assessment
Beneficiaries Financial Institutions

ESCOs Common Issues

•
Limited resources (Debt &
Equity)
•
•
High Transaction Costs
Competitiveness in Investments

* Energy Service Companies

Key Interventions to Promote Investments

• Comfort to Financial Institutions/Banks for non-recourse
financing
• Partial Risk Guarantee Fund for Energy Efficiency (PRGFEE)
• Lower Transaction Cost
• Simple M&V Protocol
• Standardized contracts (Performance Contract)
• Innovative Financing
• Venture Capital Fund for Energy Efficiency
• Longer loan tenors
• Risk Assessment
• Capacity building of banks
• Standardized risk assessment of different types of projects –
leading to competitive cost of loans 7

Activities under NMEEE* to promote EE Financing
• Partial Risk Guarantee Facilities
• A PRGF is a risk sharing mechanism lowering the risk to the lender by substituting part of the risk of the borrower by granting guarantees ensuring repayment of part of the loan upon a default event
• Guarantees a maximum 50% of the loan (only principal). In case of default, the fund will:
1. Cover the first loss subject to maximum of 10% of the total guaranteed
amount
2. Cover the remaining default (outstanding principal) amount on pari- passu basis upto the maximum guaranteed amount

• Venture Capital Fund for Energy Efficiency (VCFEE)
• To providing risk capital support to energy efficiency investments in new technology, goods and services, etc
• Provide last mile equity support to specific energy efficiency projects, limited to a maximum of 15% of total equity required, through
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) or INR 2 Crores, whichever is less 8
* National Mission to Enhance Energy Efficiency

Activities under NMEEE to promote EE Financing

Energy Efficiency Services Limited
• Joint Venture of NTPC Limited, PFC, REC and POWERGRID to facilitate implementation of energy efficiency projects
• Work as ESCO, and Consultancy Organization for Energy
Efficiency, etc
• Lead the market-related actions of the NMEEE
• Lead investments in energy-efficiency projects, in partnership with private-sector ESCOs, manufacturers, etc.
• Assume a greater share of commercial risks
• Aggregate and bundle projects
