The paper proposes an in-depth description of on-bill mechanisms, their possible frameworks, the barriers to their implementation as well as the impact they may have on the core business of utilities. The study is based on a review of the existing literature integrated with the results of on-field interviews and discussions with the aim to obtain a full picture of on-bill schemes in a European replication perspective. Methodologically, the paper is based on structured desk research and on-field feedback obtained from selected stakeholders. Additionally, a SWOT analysis is developed highlighting that on-bill schemes may result very convenient for power utilities and energy retailers. Furthermore, on-bill schemes can help to address the issue of the split incentives. In conclusion, on-bill schemes can be considered a valid tool to support energy renovation in the residential sector, but they do not represent a global solution since their application is not tailored for all the contexts.

European on-bill building renovation roadmap

This report answers the need to establish a policy roadmap for maximising the uptake of on-bill schemes in the EU residential market. In brief, on-bill schemes use the utility bill as a repayment vehicle and bring different actors into a building renovation project. Certain features of on-bill schemes that are not easily found in other financing instruments can help strike a balance between the interests of different renovation participants and resolve barriers to energy renovation. In addition, due to their large-scale implementation potential, on-bill schemes can be a powerful tool for reaching EU decarbonisation goals. The report starts by listing 11 potential barriers for on-bill uptake in the EU, grouping them by source – homeowner, utility/financial institution or market related.

Activating business models for condominium renovations. Identification of viable business models for Integrated Home Renovation Services for condominiums in the Netherlands and Flanders D2.2

This report focuses on identifying viable business models (BM) for integrated home renovation services (IHRS) for homeowners’ associations (HOAs) in the Netherlands and Flanders. The aim is to support clear identification of how to activate IHRS for condominiums, if applicable, in close collaboration with cities and regions. This work should serve the development of suitable practices covering expectations regarding the adaptation of existing IHRS BMs in the European Union (EU)

Guidelines for Practical Implementation of OSS Business Models for Collective action

The document presents the methodology used to collect different local experiences, and the main outcomes and conclusions derived from the practical implementation of different tailor-made Business Model Framework (BMFs) in the UP-STAIRS pilot OSSs.
