Guaranteed Savings Contract Structure Sample Clauses

Guaranteed Savings Contract Structure. The "Guaranteed Savings" structure is an arrangement where the commercial/industrial facility owner (“Host”) makes periodic fixed debt service payments to a third party financial institution (“Lender”) in the amount required to repay the ESCO’s turnkey project price plus the Lender’s financing costs. Under this approach, the ESCO guarantees the Host that the project’s realized savings will equal all project payments, including debt service to the Lender plus any downstream fees to the ESCO for its ongoing M & V and operational and maintenance services. If the realized savings fall short of the project payments made by the Host, the ESCO will pay the difference between the realized savings and the project payments. If the realized savings exceed the project payments, the Host and the ESCO may share in the excess depending on the risk taken and the extent of services provided by the ESCO. Under the Guaranteed Savings approach the ESCO bears no direct contractual obligation to repay the Lender with respect to the debt service payment; the Host directly repays the Lender through a separate Loan Agreement between the Lender and the Host. The ESCO’s guarantee is not a guarantee of payment to the Lender; it is a guarantee of performance to the Host - a promise that the project, as designed and installed, will pay for itself over the repayment term of the project financing provided by the Lender. This guarantee is provided through a separate contract called an Energy Services Agreement (“ESA”) between the Host and the ESCO. ESCOs prefer the Guaranteed Savings structure for four (4) general reasons. First, the Lender, more qualified in credit assessment than most ESCOs, bears the Host credit risk. Second, this structure keeps the ESCO’s own balance sheet clear of project debt. Third, in the US market, this structure provides the lowest interest cost on the debt service because the Lender is providing the funds based on the creditworthiness of the Host and does not increase the interest rate to equity rates of return for having to assume project-related savings risk. Finally, by segregating credit risk from project performance risk for the ESCO, the Guaranteed Savings structure induces the Host to resolve on-going project issues expeditiously and equitably with the ESCO since the Host bears the on-going debt service obligations separately to the Lender. The primary impediment of the Guaranteed Savings structure to the ESCO is that it is more difficult to sell becaus...
