本文探讨了一些英国地方当局（LAs）如何选择与能源服务公司（ESCo）模式合作，以增强他们对当地能源系统变革的影响力，并帮助他们实现政治“公共利益”目标。本文概述了三种常见的洛杉矶ESCo模型参与方法，包括：(1)洛杉矶拥有的“一手臂距离”模型；(2)私营部门拥有的特许协议模式；(3)社区拥有和运营模式。洛杉矶决定建立自己的ESCo，或者与另一家ESCo建立合作伙伴关系，主要取决于：它愿意承担风险的意愿、它希望的战略控制水平，以及它可以支配的资源。然而，商业案例取决于国家政策和监管框架在多大程度上促进和要求LAs发挥积极的能源治理作用。通过不同治理行为体之间的沟通和协调，加强地方和国家能源议程的一致性，有助于消除洛杉矶教科文组织参与及其更广泛的能源治理活动的关键障碍。
This paper explores how some UK Local Authorities (LAs) have opted to engage with the Energy Service Company (ESCo) model in a bid to enhance their influence over local energy system change and help them to deliver on their political ‘public good’ objectives. Three common approaches to LA ESCo model engagement are outlined including the: (1) LA owned ‘arm's-length’ model; (2) private sector owned concession agreement model; and (3) community owned and run model. The LA's decision to establish its own ESCo, or alternatively enter into a partnership with another, predominantly depends on: its willingness to expose itself to risk, the level of strategic control it desires and the resources it has at its disposal. However, the business case is contingent on the extent to which the national policy and regulatory framework facilitates and obligates LAs to play an active energy governance role. Stronger alignment of local and national energy agendas through communication and coordination between different governance actors could help to remove critical barriers to LA ESCo engagement and their wider energy governance activities.
