Book Description
"High upfront costs continue to be a significant barrier to achieving potential monetary and energy savings from energy efficiency investments across the building sector. Over the past several decades, a number of innovative energy efficiency financing program designs have emerged with the intent of reducing the upfront costs for energy efficiency improvements and assisting owners in the residential and commercial building sectors in achieving greater energy savings. ... The purpose of this report is to take a closer look at experience with on-bill financing programs and to analyze key elements for successful programs as well as factors that may impede the achievement of optimal results. It also addresses current barriers to adoption of on-bill financing from utility, consumer, and financial industry perspectives, as well as ways to address these barriers, and identifies emerging trends in program implementation."--Publisher's description.

Book Description
On-bill financing is an established tool to make financing for energy improvements available to utility customers. In a traditional on-bill (TOB) loan program, a utility customer borrows funds for an energy improvement, and the utility bill serves as the vehicle for collecting loan payments. TOB has been implemented as a tool to expand access to home energy upgrades in numerous utility jurisdictions nationwide, but not previously in Minnesota. This study primarily considers economic and financial elements of program feasibility, though it also serves to catalogue key policy and regulatory items that were flagged by working group participants and which must be addressed in any future program design process.

Book Description
While energy efficiency projects could partly meet new energy demand more cheaply than new supplies, weak economic institutions in developing and transitional economies impede developing and financing energy efficiency retrofits. This book analyzes these difficulties, suggests a 3-part model for projectizing and financing energy efficiency retrofits, and presents thirteen case studies to illustrate the issues and principles involved.
