The standardized performance contract:Incentives and certainty • Contract Provider - Client, focuses on trading "savings" • Turnkey contract warranty clauses • Supplier responsible for achieving "promised savings" otherwise Customer must compensate for damages • Responsibility for maintenance, monitoring and reporting • retention is created that guarantees a percentage of the savings

  9. Energy Savings Insurance includingFirst-loss Guarantee Reserve • Existing instrument adapted (Performance Bond - ASESUISA Insurance / Swiss Re) • It covers commitments made in standard contract provider • Should provider can not cover compensation for damage to the customer, and that retention is not sufficient, then the insurance covers the difference

  12. Elements of riskmitigation Standards technologies proven on the market to be promoted under standard performance contracts Validated suppliers based on their experience and support Validated projects based on their ability to generate savings before being approved for funding Verification of the implementation of the project and meeting of its energy indicators Integration of a bond including a performance guarantee fund
