In simple terms, an Energy Services Company(ESCO) is a business that provides energy management services to an energy user. As new technologies emerged in the 1990s, ESCOs expanded their services from relatively simple lighting and HVAC retrofits in commercial office buildings, government facilities, and light industrial plants to more engineering-intensive projects for industrial complexes. An ESCO may be an independent company or a subsidiary of a larger energy supplier. And a strong commitment from both the energy users (or the client) and ESCO will make the efforts rewarding. The process usually starts with a plant-wide energy survey that includes payback analyses and recommendations. Usually, after the 'first cut', a contract to provide energy savings, called the Energy Services Agreement, is signed by both parties. Following that, the ESCO will provide engineering expertise for more detailed efficiency studies and submit applications and reports to local utilities for subsidy programs, if available. Unfortunately, plant resources, such as time, expertise, and capital to implement energy projects are not always available.
