Accelerating Energy Performance Contracting through Street Lighting Refurbishment Projects

This project aims to create demand and supply for Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) projects in 9 regions by establishing regional EPC facilitation services. It will involve the procurement of 36 EPC street lighting projects, fostering knowledge and trust in LED and other street lighting technologies and the EPC model. The project will support municipalities in transitioning to more efficient lighting technologies and phasing out old street lighting lamps.

  1. Triggering the market uptake of energy performance contracting through street lighting refurbishment projects Streetlight-EPC Project duration: 1 April 2014 – 31 March 2017 www.streetlight-epc.eu Contractnumber: IEE/13/399/SI2.675823 April 2014

  2. Project summary • The project will create demand and supply for EPC projects in 9 regions by setting up regional EPC facilitation services. These services will provide comprehensive support both to municipalities and to SMEs as potential ESCOs. • As a core activity, the project partners will perform real-life procurement of 36 EPC street lighting projects during the project life. This will create knowledge and trust in both LED and other street lighting technologies and the EPC model. • The project team includes 9 regional agencies/organisationsthat will provide the EPC facilitation services and 9 municipalities committed to implement EPC projects. The 9 regions cover more than 4,000 municipalities.

  3. Background So far, in most European regions, energy performance contracting (EPC) has not been able to develop significantly. Street lighting is a good "learning and testing ground" for EPC due to its lower technical and economic complexity. The recent market introduction of LED technology for street lighting offers high savings with comparatively short pay-back times. This creates an opportunity: • to establish EPC markets &trigger the uptake of guaranteed energy services • to support the market introduction of efficient lighting technologies and • to support municipalities in "phasing-out" of street lighting lamps

  4. Main project activities Triggering the market uptake of energy performance contracting through street lighting refurbishment projects: • Organising45 regional meetings with a total of over 500 participants • Completing 90 "Streetlight-EPC quick-checks" • Providing advice to 270 enquiries • Reaching out to more than 4,000 municipalities • Supporting 50 SMEs • Making regional learning and feedback processes happen • Trans-regional learning and exchange of experiences • Extending the learning to indoor lighting applications • Transferring the knowledge to other European regions

  5. Expected impacts • Establishing EPC markets in 9 European regions through the regional EPC facilitating services • Implementing 36 EPC projects, triggering 49 million Euro investments, achieving annual savings of 32,100 MWh and 4.8 million Euro • Inducing 18 SMEs in becoming ESCOs • Contributing to EU product policies (phasing-out requirements) and the European Energy Efficiency Directive (strengthening energy services markets)

  6. Partners & contact • 19 partners in Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Ireland, Sweden, Slovenia, Macedonia, Spain • 9 regional partners, 9 city partners, 1 European network • Co-ordinator: OÖ Energiesparverband, Landstrasse 45, 4020 Linz • For further information: Christiane Egger, office@esv.or.at
