Programs

Translating National Energy Savings Goals into Local Activities

Energy efficiency (EE) and demand-side management (DSM) programs are powerful tools for national governments to reduce energy costs, alleviate grid pressure, support climate goals, and address energy poverty. Still, many public organizations struggle with identifying appropriate and cost-effective program models to mobilize market actors such as energy service companies (ESCOs) or monitoring whether programs are delivering the expected savings.

We support clients through the full program lifecycle, from design, planning, implementation and support to independent evaluation to ensure programs are technically sound, financially viable, and capable of achieving intended results.

We offer:

  • Tailored EE/DSM program design and implementation plans for local conditions, targeted customer segments, utility needs, and institutional priorities
  • Technical assistance for implementation, including operational guidance, ESCO program development, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement
  • Independent program performance evaluation using internationally accepted methodologies to quantify energy savings, cost-effectiveness, and impact
  • Clearly defined program governance structure from the outset, outlining clear roles, responsibilities, and delivery mechanisms
  • Actionable insights to strengthen future program cycles, scale interventions, and ensure long-term sustainability

Our holistic and inclusive program design approach has enabled governments to launch effective and sustainable energy efficiency and demand-side management programs for maximum impact and value.
