The current universal concerns about global energy security, competitiveness, and environmental protection make energy efficiency more important than ever. However, realizing large-scale savings has proven a significant challenge due to many barriers. 'Public Procurement of Energy Efficiency Services' looks at a largely untapped energy efficiency market the public sector. While the efficiency potential in this sector is substantial, the implementation of energy savings programs has been complicated by a number of factors, such as insufficient incentives to lower energy costs, rigid budgeting and procurement procedures, and limited access to financing. The book looks at energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) as a means of overcoming some of these barriers. Because public facilities can outsource the full project cycle to a commercial service provider, ESPCs can enable public agencies to solicit technical solutions, mobilize commercial financing, and assign performance risk to third parties, allowing the agency to pay from a project s actual energy savings. The recommendations in this book stem from case studies that identified approaches, models, and specific solutions to ESPC procurement, including budgeting, energy audits, and bid evaluation. Such an approach also offers enormous potential to bundle, finance, and implement energy efficiency projects on a larger scale in the public sector, which can yield further economies of scale. ESPCs can also serve as an attractive element for fiscal stimulus packages and efforts by governments to 'green' their infrastructure, which can create local jobs, reduce future operating costs, and mitigate their carbon footprint. Lower energy bills, in turn, help to create fiscal space in future years to meet other critical investment priorities. Bundled public sector energy efficiency projects can help stimulate local markets for energy efficiency goods and services and 'lead by example', demonstrating good practices and providing models to the private sector.

The world's primary energy needs are expected to grow rapidly over the next two decades, with the largest incremental increase coming from developing countries. This will require over US$25 trillion in energy supply infrastructure investment by 2030. Meeting the growth in energy demand through traditional energy development models is unsustainable from both environmental and energy security perspectives. Finding new ways to meet energy needs sustainably while maintaining robust socioeconomic development is imperative. This note offers more operational guidance on how to get started with such programs. It starts with a summary of the report's main findings and then delves into operational modalities of operationalizing these findings for World Bank (WB) operations, including issues of WB procurement and financing. Rather than seek to recommend changes in WB procedures, it presents some ideas and options under current WB processes to formulate operational approaches and strategies to deliver large-scale energy savings to public agencies, at both the national and local levels.

This report aims to provide an insight in the results achieved by projects supporting the uptake of public procurement of energy-efficient works, supplies and services, under the Intelligent Energy Europe II programme and the Horizon 2020 programme. This report is of interest to the European Commission's services, the direct beneficiaries of these projects, and stakeholders involved in energy-efficient public procurement such as the public authorities, public procurers, and suppliers, among many others. Under the Intelligent Energy II programme and the Horizon 2020 programme, the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) and its predecessor the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI) have funded thirteen1 projects supporting the public procurement of energy-efficient works, supplies and services through green public procurement (GPP), sustainable public procurement (SPP), and public procurement of innovation (PPI). In total, 122 unique organisations participated in the 13 projects. The total eligible costs of the funded projects was 18,990,000 €, whilst the total EU contribution to the projects accounted for 15,889,000 €. Public authorities, research organisations and universities, consultancies and associations represent the largest share of the partners involved in the projects. The low representation of central purchasing bodies is a key challenge for a new generation of public procurement projects that look at procurement in a strategic way and in which public authorities should include criteria related to sustainability, social responsibility, and innovation in their tenders, because central purchasing bodies can act as demand aggregators for innovative solutions. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 28% of the project partners, which is acceptable for this type of projects. The use of public procurement as a strategic tool also creates new opportunities for SMEs to be involved in tenders as suppliers of energy efficient, innovative and sustainable works, supplies and services. The projects presented in this study have been active in 24 EU Member States and in Switzerland, providing support to the development and implementation of 518 tenders. However, the projects were not equally active in all involved countries, and further efforts are required for a better involvement of Central and Eastern European countries and some countries from the Mediterranean basin.

Public institutions, companies and governments in the EU and around the world are increasingly engaging in sustainable public procurement – a broad concept that must consider the three pillars of economic equality, social welfare and public health and environmental responsibility when designing public tenders and finalizing government contracts. This book contributes to the development of life-cycle criteria tools and methodologies for public procurement in the EU. It collects both sector-crossing contributions analysing the most relevant theoretical and legal aspects, including both EU law and contract theory, and sector-specific contributions relating to some of the most important sustainable goods and services markets. The book starts with a chapter that discusses the different approaches to including sustainability considerations in buying decisions by both private and public purchasers, and then goes on to examine the EU law on LCC and how it is implemented in different Member States. These chapters address the challenges in balancing economic and sustainability objectives under EU internal market law. One chapter develops the analysis with specific reference to public-private partnership. Another chapter elaborates how multi-stakeholders’ cooperation is necessary to develop LCC, based on a case study of a lighting services procurement. Three sector-specific studies relating to social housing, textile and clothing and IT close the book. With contributors from a range of backgrounds including law, business, management, engineering and policy development, this interdisciplinary book provides the first comprehensive study on LCC within the framework of EU public procurement law.

The term Innovative Green Public Procurement (IGGP) comprise all public procurement activities, which seek to stimulate eco-innovation through demands and interaction with suppliers and other stakeholders with the purpose of improving the environmental performance of products and services. The eco-innovative potentials for three selected product groups are investigated through desk studies and a series of interviews with key stakeholders in the Nordic countries. The purpose was to form a picture of the potential benefits that can be achieved in the Nordic countries through IGPP. The report includes: - Identification of the eco-innovative potential of each product group - Relevant incentives for stimulating eco-innovation through public procurement - Barriers for exploiting the eco-innovation potential - Input to strategies for innovative green public procurement.

Thanks to tremendous renewable energy and energy efficiency potential and a stable, dynamic economy, Indonesia has become a coveted destination for investors in the clean energy sector. Clean energy investment, however, remains far below the level needed to realise Indonesia’s ambitious clean energy and sustainable finance goals.
