Project Description and Summary of Services
|
The objective of this project was to increase the availability of energy-efficient and renewable energy equipment and services by fostering partnerships between Mexican and US and other foreign companies. IIEC conducted a detailed assessment of promising market sub-sectors for energy efficiency services and then identified interested US companies for possible tie-up with potential Mexican partners. With the Trust Fund for Electricity Savings (FIDE), IIEC also promoted the development of an energy services industry in Mexico. Energy services companies (ESCOs) could (1) identify opportunities to save energy for their clients , (2) arrange for financing, (3) implement the project, and (4) guarantee the performance of the project over time. The development of a vibrant ESCO industry was projected to attract significant new investments in energy efficiency in Mexico. |

The International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) was founded in 1984 to dramatically increase the use of energy efficiency (EE) as an important clean energy approach in developing countries. Through our regional offices, we have been effective in bringing about progress in EE policy and implementation that has both reduced energy consumption by thousands of MWs and fostered economic development in the countries we serve. The IIEC works with stakeholders across all sectors to connect international best practice with the unique needs of the communities in which we operate, combining sound EE and renewable energy policy with hands-on implementation in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage sustainable development.
