EVO developed the International Energy Efficiency Financing Protocol (IEEFP) to provide guidelines for international Local Financing Institutions (LFIs) to evaluate and finance energy efficiency and savings-based renewable projects. The IEEFP's objective is to create a better understanding by LFIs and other global stakeholders on how Energy Savings Projects generate savings from existing operating expenses of end-use consumers, and how this equates to new cash flow and increased credit capacity for end-use consumers to repay EEP loans. At the core of the IEEFP is the need to measure and verify energy savings created by the Energy Savings Projects to ensure sustainability of the reduced energy costs and the resulting available cash flow to repay the LFIs.
