There are several reasons why energy projects are unsuccessful or not even realized, the main reasons is that expected energy savings or sustainable energy production rates are not realized and financing energy savings measure is often difficult to arrange. To tackle these problems, smart and innovative business models are developed in order to achieve energy savings and renewable energy production, called Energy Service Companies.
On January 22nd, three key speakers will elaborate on the subject. Questions like: What is an ESCO and how does it work? And what should be done in order to establish a strong ESCO industry in the Netherlands? are discussed during the evening.
