Follow on Google News | Financing Industrial Energy Efficiency in India: Who will Invest?The brief reveals that size of the company as well as its willingness to contribute to the overall financing of energy efficiency interventions are the key determinants of financing patterns. Analysis suggests that cross-cutting technologies (e.g. VFDs, Waste Heat recovery, etc. that cut across industries) have maximum potential for Vendor finance/ESCO model. Projects in the Chlor-Alkali and Aluminum sector can account for maximum financing through project specific term loans (>5 yr tenure) whereas a significant number of projects in the Cement and Fertilizer sector be financed by being clubbed with loans within existing lines of credit. The brief also discusses that policy push and standardization in energy efficiency projects are key levers to realize the investment potential of India's industrial energy efficiency market. As per Mr. Shubhashis Dey, Programme Manager (Industry), Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, "There is an urgent need to consolidate public and private opinion on energy efficiency under a common platform with an aim to create common goals and language. PAT Pulse is a welcome endeavor in this respect. The current issue of PAT Pulse provides a high level understanding of technology interventions, size of investment, financing models at sectorial level for projects related to PAT." According to Dr. Satish Kumar, Executive Chairman, AEEE, "Financial institutions have different approaches for industrial energy efficiency and the need is to build standard financing offers/framework to scale up energy efficiency. This brief is a step in that direction and attempts to build a framework for assessing the optimal routes for realizing the investment potential in financing" "When it comes to financing energy efficiency interventions in Industry, the challenge is not availability of capital but rather the willingness to invest in this domain. Need of the hour is a stronger policy push and standardization of efficiency projects to incentivize industry" according to Aparna Khandelwal, Sr. Engagement Manager, Sustainability Outlook.
