Sub-services

Econoler has proven expertise in conducting market potential studies for energy efficiency, energy service companies (ESCOs), and demand-side management (DSM). This starts with a comprehensive scoping study to identify and categorize the target sectors, creating a detailed inventory of facilities that includes ownership, typology, size, fuel type, energy consumption, and annual energy costs. The assessment also considers ongoing programs, tariff structures, EE services, technology providers, and market dynamics. From this analysis, Econoler estimates the target sector EE potential, distinguishing between theoretical and economically viable, each with associated specific investment requirements, projected energy savings and CO₂ emission reductions, among other impacts.

Furthermore, we evaluate the realistic market potential for EE, DSM, and energy performance contracting (EPC) solutions based on project feasibility within the existing legal and regulatory framework and the specificities of the target sector.

Econoler has extensive experience in conducting prefeasibility and feasibility studies for the identification, design, and deployment of EE/RE financial products. This includes identifying suitable local financial partners, analyzing available banking sector information, as well as validating the existence of and estimating the potential size of bankable EE/RE project markets. These insights help determine the appropriate volume of financing facilities such as SUNREF Palestine.

Econoler also identifies and prioritizes market segments and eligible projects to be supported under future financial instruments while also pinpointing potential end-beneficiaries and identifying and analyzing their specific needs. All these insights are consolidated to inform the design of tailored and effective financing instruments.
