Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable energy by enhancing energy efficiency (EE) and integrating renewable energy (RE) solutions. ESCOs provide comprehensive energy solutions, including energy audits, project design, financing, implementation, and ongoing maintenance. By guaranteeing energy savings and improving energy performance, ESCOs help reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also provides significant economic benefits by lowering energy costs and fostering the adoption of innovative energy technologies. Through their expertise and financial models, ESCOs drive the transition towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient future.

Goals of the Regional Technical Workshop:

1. Present the main elements of the ESCO&SuperESCO, including examples from different industries
2. Share experiences and lessons learned of EU MSs, EnC CPs and CA countries in promoting the ESCO concept and practical implementation of projects
3. Increase awareness among the wide range of stakeholders about the ESCO&SuperESCO models of financing Energy Efficiency.

The workshop was organised jointly by the Agency for Strategic Reforms under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Fund for Reconstruction and Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the European Union’s SECCA project.
