Manual for the Development of Municipal Energy Efficiency Projects

With funding from the International Finance Corporation, the Alliance recently authored for India the practical, clear Manual for Development of Municipal Energy Efficiency Projects. The manual walks municipalities and ESCOs through the process of using performance contracting to finance and implement municipal EE projects.

Participating in the release of the manual was the Government of India Bureau of Energy Efficiency, who gave the work its stamp of approval as a useful tool in helping India use its scarce energy and water resources more efficiently. Commending the manual, Shri Gireesh B Pradhan, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power, Government of India, noted that the manual will serve as a practical tool for anyone interested in developing, financing, and implementing municipal energy efficiency projects using performance contracts.
