Following the high wholesale and retail prices across Europe and in line with increasing public concern over climate change, considerable interest is developing in the potential for energy efficiency services to reduce growth in energy demand, thereby mitigating GHG emissions and dependency on imports.


Scope:

Detailed analysis of efficiency market drivers, cost/benefit analysis of products and services and a breakdown of individual utilities' offerings

An introduction to the European ESCO sector and examination of how firms have exploited market openings thus far

An assessment of likely future scenarios in regard to regulatory developments and an understanding of the interplay between governments and firms


Highlights:

The scope and scale of B2C energy efficiency markets is rapidly expanding, largely as result of being driven by energy prices, regulation and public attitudes.

Utility players in the B2C market have based their offerings either on information diffusion services or efficiency enhancing products. In both cases, utilities are producing increasingly sophisticated and targeted approaches, in an attempt to differentiate their product

ESCOs play a small but increasing role servicing the B2C energy efficiency sector; Supranational bodies and governments have made progress towards encouraging market development but fundamentally, consumers respond to price signals


Reasons to Purchase:

Understand the B2C energy efficiency market, the products and services on offer and the business strategies utilities and ESCOs have employed

Analyse competitor's policies, benchmark against your own options and develop a strategy for capturing greater market share
