Deliverable: D2.3 Status Quo Analysis of NEBs

This deliverable is based on Task T.2.3 Analysis of NEBs associated with energy efficiency services in the EU. It examines Energy Service Provider Companies (ESPCs) and their development in member states, as well as their role in the market and responsibility for energy savings. The study investigates the variations in their structure, particularly the types of services they provide. The objective is to identify the technical solutions used by ESPCs to assess Non-Energy Benefits (NEBs), which are not well-described at the national or EU level. While there is sufficient information available about the market structure, approximate company sizes, and prevailing types of contracts, there is limited knowledge about the diversity of implemented non-energy measures, especially their combination with other energy services. The Deliverable 2.3 also includes the contents of Sub-tasks 2.3.1 Engaging ESPCs and 2.3.2 Identification of consumers' needs. National ESPCs were approached through national partners to discuss the NEBs issue. Emphasis was placed on discussing comprehensive projects that combine various measures, particularly the approaches to the market role of ESPCs in the target countries, their current practices, and implemented projects. National ESPCs were also asked to summarize the measures used in implemented projects and their experience regarding customer interest in NEBs.
