What are the business characteristics, commerciality, integration and risks of energy-saving service companies?

Contract energy management is an energy-saving mechanism based on market operation, an energy-saving comprehensive service business model to promote the development of energy-saving industry, and a financial management method to reduce the energy cost of enterprises. It builds a high-quality professional service platform, adopts a win-win business model of sharing risks, and implements the "turnkey" project of enterprise service through train. The operating mechanism of energy-saving service companies is an energy-saving investment service management. After customers see the energy-saving benefits, energy-saving service companies will share the energy-saving achievements with customers to achieve a win-win effect. Customers served by energy-saving service companies do not need to bear the capital, technology and risks of energy-saving implementation, so they can reduce energy costs more quickly and get the benefits brought by energy-saving implementation and equipment provided by energy-saving service companies. If the big energy consumers are compared to "patients", then the energy-saving service companies are like "doctors". Without "patients" spending a penny, doctors can prescribe the right medicine, prescribe an "energy-saving prescription" with remarkable curative effect, and then get a share of the saved energy consumption. The essence of contract energy management mechanism is an energy-saving investment way to pay the total cost of energy-saving projects with reduced energy expenditure. This energy-saving investment method allows users to use future energy-saving benefits to upgrade the equipment of enterprises, reduce current operating costs and improve energy efficiency.

Providing one-stop service by energy-saving service companies can not only form a benefit guarantee mechanism for energy-saving projects, reduce costs and risks, but also promote the industrialization of energy-saving services, thus providing specific ways for establishing energy-saving industries. Contract energy management can solve the problem that energy-consuming enterprises lack capital, technology, personnel and management experience to carry out energy-saving projects, and realize zero investment, zero risk and lasting benefits in energy saving, thus improving their enthusiasm for energy saving and enabling enterprises to have more energy to develop their main business.

The introduction of contract energy management mode makes energy conservation a process of creating wealth, and transforms the green value of many industries such as environmental protection and ecology into tangible benefits. Operating energy-saving projects according to EMC mode, after energy-saving transformation, customers can use the funds originally used to pay energy expenses to pay new energy expenses and ESCo expenses at the same time. After the end of the contract period, the customer will enjoy all energy-saving benefits and generate positive cash flow.

The energy-saving effect of contract energy management is not only the parameter measurement of energy-saving equipment, but also the time measurement. Because energy-saving equipment manufacturers are only responsible for selling energy-saving equipment to energy-using units, it is difficult for energy-saving equipment manufacturers to ensure that the expected energy-saving effect can be achieved after the sales of energy-saving equipment, and the energy-saving service of contract energy management is to help enterprises play the best effect of energy-saving equipment. As an energy-saving effect contract between energy-saving equipment manufacturers and energy-using units, contract energy management can ensure the energy-saving effect of energy-saving projects by taking energy-saving services as a means and taking energy-saving effect income as a profit model. Contract energy management will strengthen the understanding of energy conservation and environmental protection between energy-saving equipment manufacturers and energy-using units, and promote the development of energy-saving equipment industry and energy-saving service industry.

Therefore, contract energy management can also achieve an industry and promote the development of related industries. Contract energy management has obvious economic and social benefits, and its industrial endowment makes it adapt to the requirements of social and economic development and become one of the representative industries of low-carbon economy. In China, where energy is in short supply and energy conservation and emission reduction are increasingly important, there is a huge market demand for energy conservation service industry. Because of its high added value, it can also attract investment, expand employment and promote the rise of information consulting, technical services, experimental research and other related industrial departments, thus providing support for the establishment and development of energy-saving service industry. As an efficient market-oriented mechanism, contract energy management has a close intersection with many industries, which can drive the development of these industries, especially emerging industries. For example, in the financial leasing industry, the contract energy management mechanism provides a new field for financial leasing. In the field of energy conservation, financial leasing can play its advantages and avoid its disadvantages. Energy contract management involves a wider range of industries, from infrastructure construction to manufacturing, from textile industry to petrochemical industry. , some of which can not be participated by financial leasing alone, and some of which are difficult to participate in the development of financial leasing in the market environment of China. The contract energy management mechanism also enables financial leasing to enter small and medium-sized enterprises, serves the energy-saving technological transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and plays an active role in promoting the marketization process, improving the technical level of enterprises and promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. The combination of the two can provide conditions for the all-round and healthy development of both sides, and the source is environmental protection.
