NO UPFRONT COST to the Owner

ESCO will finance and implement the Energy Saving Measures.

Saving achieved without compromising user’s comfort

ESCO install & maintain the E.E equipment involved

ESCO payment based on actual savings achieved in electricity bill

All equipments installed become the property of the Owner after the
contract period ended
 Way Forward For Energy Efficiency In Malaysia

 Introduction of National EE Action Plan with SMART electricity

consumption savings target of 6.0% compared to business-as-usual at the
end of 10 years
 Establish effective and sustainable funding mechanism for EE projects
 Minimize costs and price distortions in energy supply
 Strengthen capacity of industry players in EE
 Intensify enforcement of EE legislation
 Strengthen and streamline policy as well as legal and institutional
framework

 Foster EE culture among industry stakeholders and the public
