Energy service
Bid engineering
Presidential Decree 412/93 defines "energy service contract" as the contractual act governing the provision of goods and services necessary to maintain comfort conditions in buildings while providing for the improvement of the energy transformation and utilization process. Among the various forms of agreements aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of facilities, energy management makes it possible to overcome the fragmentation associated with the various entities and services involved. Reducing energy costs, in fact, must be accompanied by appropriate strategies for the operation and maintenance of facilities and the provision of energy for their operation. This includes the Energy Service Company (ESCo), which can provide: fuel or electricity purchase, operation and maintenance of production systems, monitoring of energy produced, consumption reporting, and upgrading of building-plant systems. The opportunities related to this type of convention are growing both in terms of public calls for tenders and requests from private organizations, also in view of the achievement of the European 2030 energy efficiency targets.
Enertech Solution has to its credit the drafting of numerous project-bids, related to energy service contracts, and offers its expertise in quantifying costs and savings and identifying the most appropriate energy rationalization interventions.
Some entities, both public and private, need to manage medium- and large-scale facilities and building fleets, ensuring indoor environmental comfort while achieving improvements aimed at reducing operating and management costs and atmospheric emissions. Enertech Solution can be a key partner in the drafting of bid projects related to Energy Services, in order to identify critical issues associated with existing facilities, to analyze consumption profiles and to develop efficiency proposals. Inspections and in-depth analyses enable the definition of high-impact efficiency projects, taking into account current regulations on rational energy use, safety and efficiency of facilities. Analyses and proposals can be submitted in reports, already in the form of technical bids, required to compete for public contracts.

Interest in energy service contracts
The increasing popularity of energy service contracts stems from the possibility for some entities to achieve significant economic savings, thanks to energy upgrades, by relying on a single operator also for plant operation and maintenance services and energy supply.
Economic savings
The fee paid for the service includes the supply of energy, the operation and maintenance of facilities, and the implementation of energy improvements. This formula provides the service recipient with the assurance that the ESCo will carry out interventions that produce the greatest energy savings to maximize its profit. Enertech Solution can accompany its clients in the process of defining the correct intervention strategy, evaluating the most suitable solutions to achieve the set objectives.
One operator for several services
The energy service allows the end customer to interface with a single company that strives for the totality of services related to facility management, thus overcoming the usual fragmentation between energy supply, operation and maintenance services, and the implementation of energy improvements or upgrades.

FAQ
Energy Service
What is energy service?
An energy service contract represents an agreement between a company active in the provision of energy services (ESCo) and a beneficiary entity, whether a public administration, business or other private organization. The ESCo takes responsibility for the facilities installed at the beneficiary’s facilities and provides all the necessary services (energy to power them, operation and maintenance services, monitoring and control of consumption) combined with the implementation of energy upgrades; in return it receives a fee from the client. Upgrades enable the ESCo to reduce energy supply costs for the contract period and make a profit. At the end of the contract, the client will remain the sole beneficiary of the improved energy performance of its facilities.
What are the regulatory references for the energy service contract?
The energy service contract is defined by Legislative Decree 115/2008, which distinguishes between energy service contract and energy service contract Plus. The latter, in addition to the characteristics of the energy service contract, must necessarily include the reduction of the primary energy index for winter air conditioning by at least 10 percent compared to the value before work and by 5 percent for any subsequent contracts, the installation of thermoregulation systems and automatic room temperature control, where technically feasible.
Who does an energy service contract address?
The energy service is primarily aimed at facilities characterized by a large building stock consisting of centralized facilities and widespread energy use, such as schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, shopping centers, public and private offices, and industrial plants. In accordance with Legislative Decree 115/2008, among the contracts that can be proposed as part of the provision of an energy service to public administrations is the energy service contract.
