This course was developed jointly by Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) and WBI’s Climate Change Practice. It is based on international experiences with public sector energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) collected by ESMAP during 2008-2009.
 

The e-course consists of seven modules presenting key concepts and providing opportunities to apply and discuss them. All modules use multimedia presentations and offer selected readings. Quizzes, research exercises and case studies help to broaden participants’ understanding of the topics in a pro-active way. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
  

• Identify the opportunities for ESPCs in the public sector in your country
• Define the overall procurement process for ESPCs in a public agency
• Document case studies on specific country experiences using the ESPC approach
• Identify how to address the key procurement issues related to the ESPC approach
• Develop a "roadmap" for employing the ESPC approach and selecting energy service providers (ESPs) to implement energy efficiency projects in the public sector
