This booklet highlights business opportunities in energy efficiency, showcasing service models that benefit both private and public sector energy users. By addressing barriers such as high upfront costs, these models—implemented by Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)—facilitate the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. Examples like Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), Cooling as a Service (CaaS), and Lighting as a Service (LaaS) demonstrate how these approaches reduce greenhouse gas emissions, optimize operations, and drive innovation.

The brochure also examines the transformative potential of energy efficiency in sectors like agriculture, urban infrastructure, and industry. It highlights opportunities such as improving cold chains to minimize post-harvest losses, enhancing public lighting for urban safety, and modernizing outdated industrial equipment.

Finally, it details the support provided by EELA, including technical assistance, co-financing for energy-efficient solutions, and capacity-building programs. These efforts aim to foster dynamic markets, supportive policies, and informed consumers, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient energy future in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
