“ESCOs have been a major channel for energy efficiency upgrades in the United States for a long time now,” says Casey Talon, senior research analyst with Navigant Research. “These companies have, for the most part, stuck to a specific business case that has led to a sizable market in the public sector, but they now face the challenge of branching out into new customer bases to spur revenue growth.”According to the report, while most ESCOs have had limited success outside of the U.S. market, recent policy changes, economic conditions, and specific success stories are generating increasing interest abroad. Europe in particular seems to be approaching a tipping point, with market momentum expected to pick up in the mid- to long-term.
