UNDP assistance in promotion of energy efficiency and alternative energy in Armenia Armenia Vahram Jalalyan UNDP-GEF Project Round Table -Towards the Green Economy: Cleaner Production as a Tool Tbilisi, Georgia 6 May, 2011 National circumstances Area - 29.800 km2 Population – 3.2 mln 65% of Armenia's population lives in urban areas. Total GHG emissions in 2000 makes 6635 Gg CO2eq There are over 400,000 apartments with a total area of 27 million m2 in multiapartment buildings 40% of the national energy saving potential is in the buildings, an equivalent of 402,000 toe or 944,000 t of GHG emission reductions annually Legal Background The Law on Energy Saving and Renewable Energy - 2004 Promotional tariff and guarantee of purchase for energy produced by small HPPs, wind mills and biogas plants – 2002 National energy efficiency programme – 2007 National energy efficiency action plan (NEEAP) - 2010 GHG emissions dynamics 4 UNDP Climate Change and Energy Efficiency Programme Implementation Structure STRUCTURE OF CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAM UNIT UNDP CO MINISTRY OF NATURE PROTECTION UNDP ENVIRONMENTAL PORTFOLIO MANAGER National Programme Coordinator UNFCCC FOCAL PONT CLIMATE CHANGE UNIT Project Partners UNDP Programme Coordinator Project Manager Task Leader Task Leader Task Leader Project 1 Project 2 Project 3 Project 4 Improving Energy Efficiency in Heating Sector Improving the Energy Efficiency in Buildings Climate Change National Communication Preparation Energy Efficient Lighting (pipeline) 5 “Improving Energy Efficiency in Heating Sector” UNDP/GEF Project Introduction of cogeneration technology for municipal heat supply Promotional legislation is adopted for introduction of cogeneration systems in district heating based on useful heat demand Support to municipalities and condominiums in application of energy conservation measures International EE related (EN and ISO) standards and codes adaptation and adoption 2007-2009- two Interstate building codes - translated, adapted and agreed with interested parties 2010- 7 ISO and EN standards of residential and public buildings' power intensity and energy efficiency are translated, adapted and agreed with interested parties (2 of which are already enforced) 6 Pilot Project Energy center in Yerevan, Avan district Energy center 4MW(E) and 4.36 MW(T) Cogenerator 7 “Improving Energy Efficiency in Heating Sector” UNDP/GEF Project Passportization of Energy audit and multi-apartment buildings: certification in 5 buildings was piloted Building energy passport format was elaborated Legal framework for gas fired and electrical appliances EE labeling introduction 2010- Government decision in regards to the gas fired and electrical appliances energy efficiency labeling is developed and agreed (adoption is pending) Solar 8 collectors based water heating systems objects with total of 292 m2 panel area) 8 Solar collectors based water heating systems integrated into existing systems 9 “Climate Change National Communication Preparation” UNDP/GEF project GHG Inventory preparation GHG mitigation policy development Capacity building for Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) implementation Assistance to the Ministry of Nature Protection in execution of DNA functions Technical assistance to the development of CDM project documents particularly in the sector of agricultural waste management (biogas) Development of the 2009 Armenian electrical grid emission factor, though promoting the renewable energy CDM projects 10 “Improving EE in Buildings” Project Project Objective: Reduce energy consumption in buildings and associated GHG emissions in Armenia Support to introduction and enforcement of new EE building codes and standards Promotion of testing and certification system of EE materials and equipment Outreach, training and education on Integrated Building Design Approach (IBDA) Demonstration of the energy saving and economic benefits of IBDA application on the example of new multi-apartment pilot building (design and construction) 11 Residential construction dynamics in Armenia 2000-2008 600 500 thousand m2 400 300 200 100 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 12 Pilot project site Pilot project site –State Housing Programme in Gyumri city, Armenia 13 Energy Efficiency: Looking to the Future Opportunities: Increasing prices for gas and electricity Growing conditionality on donor assistance to the country from application of solid EE national policy and New requirements embedded in National Energy Efficient Action Plan New opportunities under Climate Green Fund under UNFCCC Comparative high level of new construction, both private and state funded Penetration of new construction materials and techniques in the market 14 Energy Efficiency: Looking to the Future Barriers Absence of special funding instruments (soft and long term loans) and subsidy schemes for promotion of RE, EE and ES measures Low level of awareness on benefits of EE and ES measures on all levels Low level of importance given to the energy efficiency promotion Limited financial resources both at state, municipal and household level to afford retrofitting of existing buildings and application of the renewable energy resources Absence of EU restructuring funds in short term perspectives for house stock rehabilitation and promotion of energy saving measures 15 Thank you Yerevan, Republic Square, Government Building #3 Phone: +37410 58-39-20 Fax: +37410 58-39-33 E-mail: [email protected] URL: www.nature-ic.am
