What is ESI?

ESI stands for

Energy Savings Insurance

ESI is a structured solution that reduces performance risk in SMEs' energy efficiency projects.

It supports Indonesian companies seeking to trade older equipment with high-performance solutions by improving confidence that expected energy savings will be achieved, while providing reassurance to financial partners involved in the project.

By applying ESI to an energy efficiency project, savings resulting from the lower consumption are guaranteed by the provider and backed by an insurance. This helps SMEs to safely adopt modern energy systems and ensure lower operating cost over time.

Step by step

How ESI Works

Step 01

Preparation Phase

An energy-efficient technology provider offers a project, with the promised energy savings guaranteed. The ESI elements and each party's responsibilities are described in the simple, standardised contract.

Step 02

Contract Activation

A third-party validation entity evaluates the project's energy savings. The insurance company covers the validated energy savings and the contract is activated.

Step 03

Implementation Phase

The technology provider installs the new energy-efficient system and the validation entity verifies and validates that the installation is in accordance with the contract.

Step 04

Operation Phase

The operation of the new equipment results in reduced energy costs, improved performance, higher productivity, and sustainability. Maintenance services by the technology provider ensure that the equipment is operating optimally.

Step 05

Savings Monitoring

The energy savings are measured and annually reported by the technology provider via a simple online system, where they are checked and can be approved by their clients. In the case that there are disagreements on the savings achieved, the validation entity steps in and acts as an arbiter.

Step 06

Insurance Coverage

If the savings are not achieved, and the technology provider cannot respond to their contractual commitment, the insurance steps in to cover the promised savings.
