Energy Performance Contract (EnPC)

Proven model with a track record of third party funding

• Capital cost for increased efficiency transferred from the energy consumer

• Revenue stream can be used to fund back log maintenance as well as increased efficiency

• Most Performance contracts can be structured as service contracts and therefore accounted as ‘off balance’ sheet

• Common to have a ‘continuous improvement’ clause to ensure contractors continue to work on further efficiency

• Provides facilities with ongoing visibility and control of their consumption

Flexible contract structured to the needs of individual customers

Critical to start with gaining visibility and real time demand management

• A Water Performance Contract (WPC) is a technical solution but also a financial product

• The value of the contract is not based on the value of kit and metering

• The value is based on the financial return of the Contract

A WPC’s standardised sections: • Complaints Procedure • Data Protection • Data and Protocols • Compliance with an Assurance Body (UCAB) • Adjudication

• WPC - off balance sheet • Due to the meter (the meter is owned by the water

retailer) • It could be removed from the building or sold to the

next service company • Adjudication on the value of the meter will be in the

WPC

UCAB will set up three working groups from amongst its members: 1) Water Performance Contract (WPC) 2) Code of Conduct (CoC) 3) Standardisation of Protocols (SoP)
