Energy Efficiency is needed in the Mediterranean www.unece.org/energy/ The seven main energy consumer in the Mediterranean (Source: OME) www.unece.org/energy/ The UNECE experience: The FEEI Project and the planned Investment Fund o UNECE Financing Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Investments for Climate Change Mitigation (FEEI) has taken action along the three parallel tracks of capacity building and knowledge dissemination, policy reforms and investment project finance o At Global level, through the other UN Regional Commissions, a contribution is given by Global Energy Efficiency 21 - GEE21 UNECE work for Energy Efficiency at the global level o o www.unece.org/energy/ o o GEE21 was launched at COP-14 (Poznan) in 2008 The multi-agency and system-wide approach of GEE21 makes the project a natural partner of UN-Energy The successful development of GEE21 will also significantly contribute to one of the two Key Goals proposed by the Secretary General’s Advisory Group on Energy and Climate Change (AGECC), which is calling for a reduction in global energy intensity by 40% over the next 20 years A Global Strategy for Energy Efficiency Market Formation favours the emergence of self-sustained markets driven by demand and supply www.unece.org/energy/ Barriers to self-sustained EE markets o GEE21 aims at the formulation of a holistic approach to overcome barriers to energy efficiency market formation in (i) Supply of energy efficiency services (ii) Demand for energy efficiency services (iii) Enabling environment o The Mediterranean also needs Energy Efficiency, and to overcome barriers to its development www.unece.org/energy/ (i) Supply of energy efficiency services Nature of the barrier Measures to overcome it Unavailability of capital to kick off programme or set up ESCOs Dedicated equity or quasi-equity funds, partial loan guarantees, new funding institutions or funding windows Lack of adequate technology Technical assistance, technology transfer Lack of engineering & project management skills Technical assistance, training Lack of banking skills Technical assistance, training, partial loan guarantees, bypass of local banks (ii) Demand for energy efficiency services Nature of the barrier Measures to overcome it www.unece.org/energy/ Lack of awareness of EE Campaigning, enhanced communication benefits (especially on-line), free energy audits Unavailability of capital State or DFI-funded credit lines to local to pay for EE banks, micro-finance, partial loanimprovements guarantees Lack of measurability of Introduction of standards, (free) energy EE gains audits www.unece.org/energy/ (iii) Enabling environment Nature of the barrier Measures to overcome it Absence of pricing policies reflecting true costs of energy and rewarding energy savings Tariff reform.
