    Establishing and Operationalizing an Energy Efficiency Revolving Fund : Scaling Up Energy Efficiency in Buildings in the Western Balkans (2014)
    World Bank Group, Washington, DC

    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Content: An energy efficiency revolving fund (EERF) is a viable option for scaling up energy efficiency (EE) financing in the public sector in the Western Balkans. Under a typical EERF targeting the public sector, loans are provided to public agencies to cover the initial investment costs of EE projects; some of the resulting savings are then used to repay the EERF until the original investment is recovered, plus interest and service charges. The repayments can then be used to finance additional projects, thereby allowing the capital to revolve creating a sustainable financing mechanism. This guidance note is intended for government decision makers interested in establishing such EE revolving funds. It defines the typical structure of such funds, conditions under which they can be useful and effective, ways they can address some of the financing barriers, and implementation options. The note also provides examples, case studies, and lessons learned, and a 'road map' for establishing such funds

    Energy Services Market Development : Scaling Up Energy Efficiency in Buildings in the Western Balkans (2014)
    World Bank Group, Washington, DC
    Details

    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Content: The development of private sector energy service providers (ESPs), including energy service companies (ESCOs), that specialize in energy efficiency (EE) project development and implementation can help overcome some of the important barriers to scaling up implementation of energy efficiency (EE) projects, particularly in the public sector. ESPs can offer a range of services spanning the energy services value chain and provide the technical skills and resources needed to identify and implement EE opportunities, perform services using performance based contracts (thereby reducing the risks to the energy users), facilitate access to financing from commercial lenders, and enable the energy users to pay for the services from the cost savings achieved. This guidance note provides examples of actions taken by governments in many countries (such as Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, and India) to foster the energy services market and help establish and grow ESPs in their countries. Experience from these countries shows that governments need to adopt a three-pronged approach, involving policy and regulatory initiatives, technical assistance (TA), and financing strategies, to build ESP and public agency capacity, implement ESP projects in the public sector, and provide the platform for moving to more complex implementation and financing models in the future. TA or financing alone does not offer an effective strategy to overcome the multidimensional challenges of ESP market development; efforts in all three areas are needed. Key conclusions of this guidance note are that: (i) there is no specific formula that can be prescribed to instruct governments on how to develop energy services markets; and (ii) fostering the ESP market requires governments to undertake a concerted set of legislative, regulatory, policy, financing, and awareness and information initiatives

    DSM in Thailand : A Case Study (2000)
    World Bank, Washington, DC
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1759679763
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: ESMAP technical paper no. 8
    Content: In 1993, Thailand initiated a demand-side management (DSM) program to help curb electricity demand growth and promote more energy-efficient equipment and cost-effective energy services within the country. Since then, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), the national generation and transmission utility's DSM Office has developed a strong portfolio of DSM measures, including 19 DSM programs targeting a wide range of sub-sectors and end-uses, and substantially surpassed its original peak reduction and energy conservation targets. EGAT has created substantial public awareness of energy conservation and actively promoted private sector participation in promoting such services. And, EGAT's DSM Office has been recognized internationally for its success in designing DSM programs that fit within an Asian context as well as its innovation and partnershis with other agencies. While the overall Program results have been positive, EGAT has had limited impacts in certain areas and experienced a number of implementation issues, many of which are now being resolved. This report examines the creation of Thailand's DSM program, discusses programs and results to date, offers analyses and lessons learned from the Program, and discusses future prospects for DSM programs in Thailand and elsewhere

    Public Procurement of Energy Efficient Products Lessons from Around the World (2012)
    World Bank, Washington, DC

    gbv_1759677523
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Energy Sector Management assistance Program (ESMAP) technical report 003/12
    Content: This report assesses global experiences with Energy Efficient Purchasing (EEP) as a tool to help governments improve the efficiency of their facilities and public services. In many developed countries, EEP is increasingly becoming subsumed within broader Green Public Procurement (GPP) or sustainable procurement policies, where EE is only one indicator among many others. Global energy needs are increasing at a steady pace. Rapid industrial development and growing populations have led to an exponential growth in worldwide energy consumption. According to the international energy agency, demand for energy is projected to grow steadily from 2010 to 2035, representing a 40 percent increase. About 90 percent of this increase will come from developing countries. As these countries continue to urbanize, develop their industrial infrastructure, and provide universal access to basic services, strains on the existing energy infrastructure and resources will intensify. This, coupled with a substantial rise in the middle class in many of the emerging economies, most notably China and India, will also contribute to this increase in demand. This contributes to the expected rise in non-OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development) countries' share of global energy demand, from 54 percent in 2009 to 64 percent by 2035. This projected increase in energy demand will necessitate new solutions to help bridge the gap between supply and demand, while reducing the trillions of dollars required for new energy infrastructure investments. The study concluded that EEP policies and programs can be an effective way to promote energy efficient products by leveraging a government's purchasing power and influence. Countries with more advanced programs have a wealth of resources and experiences available for countries just getting started, which can dramatically lower the time and resources needed to launch such efforts. As countries improve enforcement and tracking efforts, enhanced methods will be developed and tested, providing models for adaptation and application in the developing world

    Fostering the Development of ESCO Markets for Energy Efficiency (2016)
    World Bank, Washington, DC
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1759612952
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Live Wire 2016/54
    Content: This guidance note, about Energy service companies (ESCO), was prepared under the Energy Efficiency Outreach activity of the World Bank’s Europe and Central Asia region. The activity is sponsored by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program, a multidonor technical assistance trust fund administered by the World Bank and cosponsored by thirteen official bilateral donors. ESCO can aid energy efficiency efforts by providing technical skills, assuming performance risks, facilitating access to finance from commercial lenders, and enabling energy users to repay initial costs through future savings. Although many attempts to encourage the development of ESCO markets in developing countries have failed, some recent experiences demonstrate how governments can help by promoting simple business models; facilitating ESCO financing; making legislative, regulatory, and policy changes; and creating demand. The challenges are real as the ESCO models are complex and require strong legal, financial, accounting, and business infrastructure,which is often lacking in developing countries. However, a combination of simple ESCO models, dedicated financing, enabling policy, regulatory initiatives, and increased public sector demand has resulted in the development of sizeable ESCO markets in some countries

    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Live Wire 2018/91
    Content: Despite offering huge economic returns, implementing energy efficiency measures encounters widespread and systemic barriers. A variety of market failures are keeping project developers from accessing commercial financing for energy efficiency investments. Energy efficiency credit lines are created when international donors loan funds to financial institutions, which then lend to project developers. Credit lines offer a solution where domestic banks are strong but not lending to energy efficiency projects. These lines of credit offer access to finance in the near term, while paving the way for commercial financing in the medium to long term, particularly in the industrial sector. The World Bank's portfolio reveals that under the right conditions, credit lines can achieve dramatic results
