“…For Cyprus, focus is given on energy management and renewables in the residential sector (Florides et al , 2000; Kalogirou, 1997). Renewables (Mayhoub and Azzam, 1997; Kamel, 1995; Tadros, 2000; Ahmed and Abouzeid, 2001; Ahmad and Schmid, 2002), as well as the environmental effects in energy planning (Khella, 1997), are also addressed in depth for Egypt.

PurposeTo contribute to the design of the energy service companies (ESCOs)' environment in the Mediterranean countries, mainly focusing on the constraints this company's environment face and the actions that can fulfil its needs and aims, taking also into consideration the opportunities and threats emerging from the energy liberalization and climate change.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology that was followed (based in a large part on the context of two projects targeted to the Mediterranean region and funded by the European Commission) incorporated four steps, the desk analysis for energy efficiency potential in the Mediterranean, the data collection, the assessment of the constraints and the final assessment of the ESCOs' environment.FindingsProvides information regarding the current status of ESCOs' development, in the dimensions of the ESCOs' environment (political/legal, economical/financial, social/cultural and technological), both in the European Union (EU) (Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain) and non‐EU (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey) Mediterranean countries.Originality/valueThere are no papers investigating the activation environment of ESCOs in a coherent and integrated way in the Mediterranean. This paper provides to decision makers a supportive framework for policy design and formulation of policy priorities for ESCOs development in the region.
