Abstract
⺠U.S. ESCO industry revenues were â¼$4 billion in 2008 and we estimated accelerated growth for 2011. ⺠U.S. ESCOs generated â¼$23 billion in direct benefits at projects installed from 1990-2008. ⺠Industry evolution has implications for customer project economics, especially at K-12 schools. ⺠Payback times have increased from 1.9 to 3.2 years in private sector projects since 1990. ⺠Payback times have increased from 5.2 to 10.5 years in public sector projects since 1990.
