SIE offers tailored solutions and expertise to public administrations, enabling the implementation of the State’s exemplary energy efficiency program. This includes:

• Expertise in transforming public administration goals into tangible projects, taking into account their specific features, international technological trends and the capabilities of national companies ;
• Comprehensive support for government projects, especially in managing major expenditure items, ranging from service provision to delegated project management ;
• Established methodology and tools for objectively measuring energy savings and demonstrating the impact of actions on the community.

To fulfill this value proposition, SIE maintains close relationships with relevant government departments. This commitment is encapsulated in our roadmap, which gives priority to supporting public administrations over time.

As a Super ESCO, SIE plays a crucial role as a trusted intermediary.

⦁ For clients seeking energy efficiency solutions, SIE provides:

• Expertise and technical legitimacy to design a project that is relevant and in line with the client’s specific context and environment.
• Knowledge in regulatory, contractual, and project structuring (including financing) to establish a clear contractual framework where risks are appropriately shared, managed, and understood by the client.
• Impartiality as a Super ESCO, with a focus on the public interest, to select optimal solutions for the client, while also promoting local businesses.

For energy efficiency solution providers, SIE acts as:

• A mediator between the client and the supplier, ensuring service quality, contributing to project efficiency, and guaranteeing supplier payment.
• A consultant to the end client in establishing relevant intervention specifications.
• A financer, when necessary and appropriate, for the project.

To the entire ecosystem involved in energy efficiency projects (public authorities, investors, funders, service companies, equipment suppliers, etc.):

• Designing and executing emblematic projects with substantial energy savings or public visibility.
• Highlighting “Success Stories” to attract interest among stakeholders and stimulate energy efficiency initiatives.

Financing investments (such as construction work, re-engineering, equipment acquisition and installation, etc.) is crucial for the feasibility and profitability of an energy efficiency project. In a market at a recent stage of development, the traditional local (private) financial sector often lacks offerings specifically tailored to such projects, and existing financing instruments may not be suitable. As a result, financing conditions can be challenging, potentially hindering or even jeopardizing projects.

It is for this reason that SIE, as a Super ESCO, is actively engaging with financing institutions, particularly :

• The private financial sector, to enhance its understanding of the risks associated with energy efficiency projects, and to encourage the development of suitable financing solutions;
• National and international public financing institutions, to direct development financing instruments, warranties and concessional loans, and put them to good use for the projects carried out by its partners.

The development of a robust market for energy efficiency solutions and the availability of financing sources are key to increasing the number and scale of energy efficiency projects can increase. The benefits for the national economy are threefold:

• A reduction in the national energy bill, which is still heavily reliant on imported energy products; Improving the country’s industrial competitiveness by reducing energy costs in manufacturing;
• The creation of activity and added value, with positive impacts on national accounts and employment.

Energy efficiency projects are indeed becoming a growing market in terms of :

• Engineering services and industrial, energy, technical and financial studies;
• Acquisition and installation of equipment specifically linked to industrial processes and energy systems, including their control and safety;
• Renovation of buildings and electrical systems.

These activities represent significant job potential, catering to several levels of qualification and sector specialization. They could also be a major opportunity for numerous training courses, including professional retraining paths.

To contribute to the skill development of all stakeholders involved in the ecosystem, SIE aims to accumulate ongoing knowledge and feedback from its involvement in energy efficiency projects. The goal is to share insights and best practices with various actors:

• National institutional stakeholders, to integrate market practices into the continuous improvement of the regulatory framework for energy efficiency projects.
• Clients of energy efficiency solutions, to enhance their practices in expressing needs, contracting, financing, supplier selection, and all methodologies adopted in projects.
• Equipment and energy efficiency solution providers, to refine their offerings based on market expectations and capabilities.
• Financial institutions, to improve their understanding and perception of the mechanisms and risks associated with energy efficiency projects.
• Professional and training sectors, to understand the alignment between available labor market and the needs of businesses.
• International partners of SIE and/or Morocco interested in the development of energy efficiency within its territory, to benefit from SIE’s experience and expedite their learning curve.

To achieve this, SIE implements specific mechanisms, including:

• An organization and tools dedicated to monitoring projects and recording relevant technical-economic data to assess project performance.
• A project management and monitoring methodology, including post-equipment delivery, allowing periodic evaluation of installation performance and the gap between actual and initially envisaged performance levels.
• A knowledge and results database to classify information and make it reusable.
• Organizing conferences, project experience-sharing sessions, and technical content for energy efficiency project stakeholders to enhance their professional practice.

This dissemination of practical know-how throughout the ecosystem aims to improve the practices of national stakeholders and, ultimately, foster trust among market participants.
