Common problems Few people work in the companies, < 20, who has the time, who takes ownership? Lack of knowledge about grants and regulations Indirect customers, they cannot pass on the costs Energy is a small % in the overall costs at times Not owning buildings, production is rented Investments are too small for ESCO and loans The tools like the Risk Assessment Tool partially address the challenges. But do not suffice to attract a bankable pipeline.
