D2.1 European EPC market overview

The present report aims at providing a summary of the information collected through the Transparense Surveys of October 2013 across the 20 participating EU countries. The Surveys, directed at EPC providers as well as banks and finance houses, were designed in order to obtain information for a comprehensive overview of the existing EPC market in the EU. National reports summarising the information obtained for each country involved and identifying barriers and success factors for the implementation of EPC projects have already been produced (D2.4). This EU-wide is not a compilation of everything that was presented in the national reports. Instead, it presents two types of information: summary statistics across all countries (i.e. EU-wide averages), and cross-country comparisons. For a more thorough view of all the information collected, it may be useful to refer to the online databases (D2.2) or the national country reports (D2.4). This report is building on the data and information gathered by two other similar projects, the European Energy Service Initiative (EESI) and the ChangeBest project. It is also intended
as a continuation on the work of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre – Institute for Energy, and more particularly on its 2010 Status Report on Energy Service Companies Market in Europe.
