Energy Services Companies: Where Are International Markets Going?

Abstract

The power industry in developing and reindustrializing coun-
tries continues its historic shift toward privatization and competition.
This shift opens the door to the very large technical market for the
goods and services that energy services companies offer. Signs indicate
however that the energy services market will develop along competi-
tive lines with energy being supplied by companies that provide a
variety of power marketing, efficiency services and other services.
This article summarizes estimates of current energy efficient mar-
ket size, lists projects that are viewed as pilot energy services projects,
and discusses a number of factors that will affect the ESCO market
abroad.
