When developing products related to environmental business opportunities FIs typically offer:
A simple financing scheme is the most common.
- FIs use existing SME/commercial/retail products (no difference to non-EE projects in terms of financing).
Vendor financing
- A sales partnership whereby the FI provides financing to the company who purchases equipment from the vendor and ESCO finance.
ESCO financing
- Most advanced form of financing energy efficiency – ESCOs sell energy efficiency. Service driven approach – outsourcing of energy services.
