Ahead of the 2nd International ESCO Symposium in Istanbul this October, the team at Ainglie is excited to share the outline of our upcoming white paper:
"Shaping Tomorrow’s Energy Services Industry: Lessons Learned in Europe Over the Last 20 Years"
This paper is not a history book—it's a personal, practitioner’s perspective on what has worked, what hasn’t, and what absolutely must change if the ESCO model is to thrive in the next 20 years.
📌 From early pioneers like Berliner Energieagentur and Jan Bleyl
📌 To game-changers like IPMVP and the pivotal role of EVO
📌 From public-sector retrofits to smart, digitized, scalable energy services platforms
📌 And the undeniable power of people like Pierre Langlois who helped shape the entire Measurement & Verification discipline
🔑 Key takeaways include:
Why trust is still the single most valuable currency in Energy Services
How the ESCO model must evolve to meet today’s climate and equity goals
What digitization, standardization, and behavioral insight mean for scalability
And why the next 20 years demand new facilitation models and data-driven platforms
🎯 This is a call to rethink how we deliver energy services. Not just more projects—better, more inclusive, and more scalable ones.
📅 Join us at ESCO Symposium 2025 in Istanbul

Let’s build on the lessons of the past to shape the future of energy services.
