The Private Sector Role in the Growing Demand for Energy Efficiency Solutions Eng. Khalid Al-Dawood, Managing Director, Energy Efficiency Era Dr. Fahad A. Al-Sulaiman, Director, Center of Renewable Energy and Center of Energy Efficiency, KFUPM
What is needed? Energy Efficiency
Agenda Why Energy Efficiency? How to Approach Energy Efficiency? Current Status and Plans for Energy Efficiency Main Barriers and public-private partnership (PPP s) Business Models What is Next and How to Get there?
International Energy Efficiency Scorecard 2016 - ACEEE KSA is by-far the least energy efficient country among top 23 energy consuming countries
How to Approach Energy Efficiency? Supply Side More Efficient and Cleaner Supply Demand Supply Management T & D Metering & Analysis Demand Side More Efficient Use Conservation & Management More Efficient/Cleaner supplies (take capital & time) Current technologies allow us to target 30% savings
Energy Efficiency business is full of value-add opportunities
SAUDI Energy Efficiency Program (SEEP) A national program to rationalize and raise the efficiency of energy consumption in coordination with 30 government entities and many government institutions and enterprises and the private sector. Domestic consumption in the Saudi About 38% of the total Saudi production of petroleum products and gas are consumed locally. By 2030 It expects to achieve a reduction by the application of current and future savings measures approximately (1.5) million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2030
SEEC framework limits its scope to Demand Side Only, No price reforms authority and consensus-based
Current Status and Plans? SEEC started platform programs for new appliance, standards for Cars & AC units, and insulation codes for new buildings. SEEC established its governance, EE Permits policies ®ulations SIDF & SEEC, have announced the development of special funding facilities SEC launched the initiative of smart grids and smart meters Industry, Transportation, and buildings, is targeted sector by SEEC However, planning, financing and implementing of these improvements require extensive government and private sector capacity to coordinate, develop and implement
150+ Engineers : makes it Engineering Loaded programs
The Main Barriers to Energy Efficiency Benefits and stakeholders of EE are small and dispersed Owners rarely make EE initiatives a priority, unless mandated Policy, Regulations and plans do not provide clear market trend (incentives) for private sector to invest with confidence on return Investments and Returns are not aggregated to generate attractive returns for institutional investors. Financial markets lack data regarding EE retrofit risks & pay-back Projects complexity & High transaction cost is a challenge Private Sector capability; Labor market is not aware or skilled Limited Institutional capacity to develop EE products/solutions and support entrepreneurs Technology Performance Prices Policy Market Structure Information Energy Use Culture Individual Values Decision Structure Finance Incentive Structures
Addressing Financing challenges is far more difficult and complex than Planning and developing Engineering solutions
IEA Policy Pathway: Joint Public-Private Approaches for Energy Efficiency Finance PPP: Public-Private Partnership
Model of Public Private Partnership? Government Buildings PPP Model that enable government to accurately measure, budget and manage the total cost of ownership of a buildings with guarantees from the private sector. Public Sector identifies new or updated facilities need Procurement & Selection Process Private Sector consortium designs, constructs and operates facilities (Developer, General Contractors, Facility Manager) This results in: Cost effective/efficient capital market access to address new and existing property needs Greater governance, transparency and discipline of spending Timely construction of building projects Innovative building designs and operational strategies Continuous improvement in life safety, building operations & EE
Models of PPP - Germany & UK Schemes Germany Building Retrofit Public Funding Program (Year 2010) For every 1 euro of public funds on EE construction and refurbishment, federal government received 5 euro tax revenue from companies and employees. 340,000 jobs created in the sector 1.8b euro saved in welfare (un-employment) payments UK Green Deal Programme (Year 2010) Domestic building responsible for 40% of its final energy use. Over 75% of energy used in homes is for space and water heating Improve energy efficiency in households and businesses at no up front costs, paying back through future savings in energy bills Retrofit 23m house to acceptable standards of energy efficiency, or one building per minute to 2050 (DECC 2010)
Lack of human capital infrastructure Lack of skills/trained personnel or institutions To support project financing; To prepare feasibility studies and business plans, To assess, measure and validate To implement Solutions To operate and maintain the technology To promote, increase awareness and change-behaviors Lack of service infrastructure for implementation, logistics and maintenance of solutions and the technology; Lack of institutional infrastructure to convert vendors energy efficiency solutions and renewable applications (technically proven) into commercial businesses at the local community level
Energy Efficiency in Buildings: Application Areas Visualization and Operation Remote Control / Maintenance Lighting Control and Regulation Control of Heating, Ventilation, Cooling In general, building energy consumption is higher in industrialized countries. Thus, development has an important effect on energy demand from the building sector, implying that building efficiency becomes more significant as countries become more prosperous. The importance of energy efficiency in building sector is especially significant in developing countries, owing to rapid new construction with opportunities to employ efficient materials and best practices. Energy and Load Management Blinds and Shutter Control Security and Monitoring
What is Next? Partnership Government/SEEC have at their disposal a number of policy levers which, in consultation with Private Sector (PPP), can develop/guide the transition, providing consistency & stability for private sector decision making and investment, adopting more business oriented approaches. These measures typically include: Codes, technical and product standards Energy Efficiency and mandates Fiscal/tax incentives Financing that suit local conditions Cluster/synergize scopes/projects & design best match business models The local entrepreneurs should be assisted to develop with training and advisory services in the areas of business delivery models, quality control, marketing, installation, maintenance, and after-sale services. It is important to establish the infrastructure within local institutions that can assist in creating and nurturing viable energy efficiency and energy renewables enterprises to deliver reliable and affordable solutions.
Proposed SEEC framework to PPP s Consider increasing the role and participation of private into current design of Schemes and Programs The disadvantages of adopting a Utility or Semi-government (energy intensive industry) based (or biased by) Energy Efficiency schemes need to be balanced with adopting other possible PPP models Redefine SEEC Energy Efficiency charter/framework to include the development of SME and EE Private Sector. Consider PPP for hanging fruits projects thru implementing:- Proven business models (Super-Esco s) for specific EE applications (Government s Buildings, Mosques, Hospitals, Schools, ) Proven financing solutions and platforms (PACE, Social Responsibilities /voluntary Funds, Suppliers Pay,..etc)
Areas of PPP and Building Capabilities Priorities Solutions and Targeted Technologies Areas of highest capital optimization (Reek Load shifting/shaving) Energy Storage, TOU, Hybrid Supply Areas of highest waste (T&D, Flue gases, Non occupied cooling ) Mirco-grids, Heat recovery Co-gen, Zone cooling Areas of highest consumption (A/C, Petrochemicals, Cement, Hybrid cooling, Buildings MS, high Efficiency Equipment, Variable Speed Pumps, Energy MS
Private Sector proactive roles /Road map Build associations and alignment and synergy within the sector Proactively participate in developing/proposing partnership models in close coordination with SEEC and key government and semi-government stakeholders ; Covering all sectors (Utility, Heavy Industry), Buildings and Transportation Establishing Priorities for areas of capabilities buildings Maximizing support from Relevant institutions (Education, Funding,..), and Actively engaging Community Identify Private Sector Roles, Capability and scope for addressing key barriers and challenges; Financing Human Capital transitioning
