The ESCO Moldova project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), has an implementation timeframe of 4 years with a budget of 1.3 million US$ allocated by the GEF and 7.615 million US$ allocated as co-financing by project partners. The project objective is to create a functioning, sustainable and effective market of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) in Moldova by converting existing energy service provider companies into ESCOs, as the basis for scaling up energy efficiency improvements and ultimately climate change mitigation efforts.
The main barriers that the project is trying to address are related to energy efficiency project financing; the eagerness of existing Energy Service Providers to embark on the ESCO business model; institutional barriers at the local level; and EE awareness in the municipal sector. The ESCO Moldova Project intends to eliminate/address these impediments through the following project components:

The Project will contract an International Consultant (IC) who will be involved during the first year of project implementation in setting up a functional LGF, envisaged under the Component 3. Scope of work
The objective of this assignment is to provide assistance to the Project Management Unit in establishing a functional Loan Guarantee Fund, set up to provide financing to ESCOs.
