        Energy performance contracting (EPC) - public sector

        EPC is a business model for ensuring the modernization of buildings or energy facilities, which allows the use of future energy savings and thus energy costs, including operating costs, to repay investment costs related to the modernization and renovation of a public building. Another option is the renovation of public lighting. The underlying legislation is Act No. 321/2014 Coll. on Energy Efficiency and Decree of the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic No. 99/2015 Coll., which establishes the details of the provision of supporting energy services and guaranteed energy services

        Eligible energy efficiency measures include a pre-approved list of measures with deemed energy saving values for residential (including energy poor) sector. In the non-residential a wide range of energy efficiency measures are eligible, assessed on a case-by-case basis with savings determined on a metered or scaled basis. Savings are based on deemed savings, metered savings and engineering and scaled savings. Regulator audits a statistically significant sample of credits, between 5% and 10% of all works submitted by obligated parties.
