The difficulty in financing small and medium-sized energy service companies is one of the obstacles to the smooth development of energy performance contract. Based on the characteristics of energy performance contract in coastal areas, this paper introduces the concept of network joint guarantee and carbon emission option and demonstrates their advantages in the field of energy performance contract. A case study of a coastal area was conducted, where the Shapley value algorithm is used to analyze the impact of the application of this financing mode on the efficiency of energy service companies, which corroborates the reduction of both the pressure of energy service companies and the financing risk posed to them. Therefore, the conclusion can be drawn that “network joint guarantee and carbon emission option” mode can help address financing problems.
