Organisation of operational framework for Energy Service Companies (ESCO) (AHEF.119.MD)

Objective

INOGATE experts conducting meetings with Energy Service Companies (ESCO) of Moldova to review the current legislative framework, to identify obstacles to the successful implementation of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) in the country and to develop draft legislation including secondary legislative acts.

The purpose of the expert's missions to Moldova is to develop certain documents aligned with the EU best practices, such as:

• Energy Performance Contract (EnPC) template for the public sector;
• EnPC template for the private sector;
• Methodology for energy performance contracting in the public sector based on best practices (economic feasibility assessment, distribution of extra project benefits, etc.);
• Guidelines for the elaboration of terms of reference for energy performance contracting in the public sector (technical requirements, tender procedures and requirements, etc.).

Moldova has been a full member of the Energy Community since May 2010 and the adoption of the EU Directive 2006/32/EC on energy end-use efficiency and energy services is one of the country’s obligations under the Energy Community Treaty. Energy Performance Contracting is one of the financial instruments for energy savings envisaged in this Directive and should therefore be transposed into Moldovan legislation.

Below is the title of all of the developed documents in English. Some of the documents are combined into one file, i.g 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3 are combined into one doc file
