Modelo de eficiencia energética para implementación de ahorros, como estrategia de negocio en los grandes consumidores de energía de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The present research study aims to evaluate the possibility of implementing energy efficiency models known as "Shared Savings:, in Ecuadorian companies. Recognized worldwide as an ESCO model (Energy Service Company) where it seeks to finance energy efficiency projects, to alleviate the cash flow of the companies of the clients and to obtain a profitability altogether by the generated savings. In view of the lack of budget and lack of knowledge in this area, many companies have not been able to supply energy deficiencies in their production process. A research was conducted with a mixed approach to the large energy consumers of the city of Guayaquil and triangulated this information with interviews to different experts to complement the study. The results obtained evidenced the little attention that the companies have destined to look for models of energy efficiency. It would be appropriate to promote such models at a national level, where companies seek ISO 50001 certification. Therefore, it is feasible a proposal to create a company that addresses current deficiencies and positively contributes to the value chain of companies, State and the environment. However, this project would be further enhanced if the State is involved with measures that encourage companies to incur these models, usually tax incentives.
