Contractual issues
Question: Where can I find examples of EPC contracts to see examples of EPC provisions?
Answer: A very comprehensive overview of model contracts is available on IEE website: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/in-action/energy-performance-contracting/index_en.htm
Question: Typically, which costs are paid by the ESCO and EPC facilitator?
Answer: This really depends on the type of EPC contract. Almost all solutions are feasible / possible. It depends on the agreement between all stakeholders, but in theory any financial design is possible.
However, it must be costs in relation to the technical preparation of the project, i.e. analyses of EPC suitability in the selected buildings, completion of technical data for next preparation of baseline and detailed description of the energy systems in selected buildings, etc. The volume of the costs, which the winner of the procurement procedure will pay, has to be included into the tendering documentation. And all competitors are obliged to include these costs as part of their quoted price, and to explain the exact calculation of these costs.
