Presentation of Tuscany Region Training gruop for Sousse Conference

1. EGREJOB Project
Tuscany Region – Training Group

2. Who we are
A group of 10 young professionals (Architects + Engineers) has been selected by
Tuscany Region among several candidates from a technical background
We are from 26 to 34, featuring both new graduates with no experience and
professionals trying to find their place in context of the current structural crisis
Each of us is bringing pre-acquired skills into the group, creating a climate of
continuous learning and knowledge sharing

5. Lesson learnt: the Milan
District experience
No costs for energy
improvement!!

6. • The Province of Milan has awarded the implementation of the First Energy
Performance Contract with Results Guarantees to an Energy Service
Consortium made up by four ESCOs;
• Total contract value amounts to 13 Millions Euro entirely invested by the
Consortium, thanks to a loan granted by the European Investment Bank,
covering 75% of the investment;
• The contract has been awarded according to European procurement
procedures;
• Covers 98 public buildings, mainly schools, located in 16 Municipalities in the
territory of the Province of Milano that have joined the Covenant of Mayors;
• Duration of the contract 15 years, guarantees 35% reduction of final energy
costs;
• 5% of the costs in terms of budgetary relief for the Municipalities;
• Will contribute to the reduction of GHG emission well over 20% by 2020
(prime objective of the Covenant of Mayors initiative);

Approach

8. What an ESCO is
(Directive 2006/32/EC)
Energy Service COmpany (ESCO)
“A natural or legal person that delivers energy services and/or other energy
efficiency improvement measures in a user's facility or premises, and
accepts some degree of financial risk in so doing. The payment for the
services delivered is based (either wholly or in part) on the achievement of
energy efficiency improvements and on the meeting of the other agreed
performance criteria”

11. Energy Performance
Contracting (EPC)
• By means of EPC the ESCO can stipulate contractual
arrangements to provide energy efficiency improvement
measure with a fixed energy improvement target
• The customer is protected from technical and financial risks
• An ESCO project is based on the real occurrence of energy
savings since its compensation is linked to the amount of
energy savings
• ESCOs risk their own revenues and investments’ cost payback

12. Lesson learnt: the Milan
District experience
Milan’s objectives on energy derive from City’s Strategic Plan 2004-2009,
based on Kyoto Protocol’s Guidelines. The strategy was confirmed for the
2009-2014 Plan and is still on going.
Reduction of primary energy consumption of 35,000 toe/y in buildings
and industry through energy efficiency (new building codes, energy
audit, etc.) and innovation in technologies

13. Lesson learnt: the Milan
District experience
Milan managed to obtain ELENA facility, run by the EIB.
ELENA (European Local ENergy Assistance) covers up to 90% of the
technical support cost needed to prepare, implement and finance the
investment programme.

15. Our idea: bringing Milan’s
experience to Tuscany
• Regional aim to 20-20-20 objectives
• Promote Green Economy
• Create the need for new skilled professionals
• Requalification of Public Buildings and reduction
of their maintenance costs
• Trigger Construction Sector’s recovery
• Job creation
• Spread innovative business models (EPC, Third
Part Financing) to overcome the lack of financial
resources and the limits due to stability laws
