Energy contracting (in short ECo) means that renewable energy installations are financed by others and the repayment is made through a reduction of the income you have for e.g. PV feed-in. Energy saving/performance contracting (in short ESCo) stands for thermal renovation of the building hull or new energy converters that save energy, where the financiers are compensated with a part of the savings you make.

Energy Converter Exchange | higher efficiency | ownership contractor | calculated with actual energy efficiency |
Thermal insulation walls,ceiling, cellar... window exchange | higher efficiency | part of the building | actual energy demand, corrected with degree days |
Item | Effect | Ownership characteristics | Payments based on |
---|---|---|---|
PV appliance | higher efficiency | owned by the contractor | part of the feed in revenues |
Biomass boiler | lower energy cost | owned by the contractor | difference to energy cost with old energy carrier |
In the FinSESCo approach pre-existing information from the energy performance certification are provided by data owners to the FinSESCo portal, where templates for renovation or new energy converters are filled. After getting quotations from professionals and your go, the crowd investing starts. Investors with the lowest interest rate demand are selected. The electronic tendering is done over the portal and the energy related payments are initiated by smart meters provided by the FinSESCo portal.
FinSESCo is a ERANet MiCALL research project funded within the EU HORIZON and by the national funding agencies in Austria, Germany, Spain, Romania, and India , the operator of the portal will be a licensed entity. In some countries the state may step in if losses occur.
