Background
According to the Planning Commission, India’s total primary commercial energy requirement (in terms of million tonnes of oil equivalent) is projected to grow at 6.5 percent per year between 2010-11 and 2016-17 from a level of 522.81 MTOE to 738.07 MTOE. Indian government and corporate sector are highly focused on creating a more sustainable and energy-efficient economy, and these goals have intensified their attention on industry, agriculture and buildings sectors, which are the primary sources of energy consumption.
Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) provide energy-saving systems and developing performance contracting (PC) business models to assist building owners and energy managers optimize energy use in existing infrastructure as well as Greenfield projects. Increasing energy demand and rising energy cost are lead drivers for the growth of the ESCO business in India.
In June 2010, the Union Cabinet approved the implementation framework of the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) which seeks to unlock the India energy efficiency investment potential of Rs. 74,000 crore. However, despite the fact that the potential for application of performance contracting in both the public and private sectors in India is enormous, the size of the ESCO industry has been particularly small as compared to the opportunity.
