Abstract
Energy service companies (ESCOs) always vigorously promote DSM implementation during all periods, and among these companies contract energy management is the best method for advancing the continuous and healthy development of the energy conservation service industry and DSM. Moreover, numerous countries have implemented this management method. With policy support and the establishment of practical mechanisms, China’s ESCOs have witnessed dramatic growth and the energy conservation service industry has rapidly developed. This chapter introduces why ESCOs are treated as the backbone of DSM, as well as experiences in facilitating the healthy development of DSM, which relies on the connotation of ESCO, implementation flow of the energy management contract (EMC) or energy performance contracting (EPC) project and methods of the ESCO to perform energy conservation analysis, financing analysis, and project risk analysis.
