REEEP delivers tangible solutions in collaboration with partners
Slide 7
EE could meet 30%-40% of future energy demand
Taylor made solutions are necessary - Necessity of national assessments of EE/RES  potential
EE/RES must be integrated in the national resource/energy planning/rural electrification – road map
Increase impact through combination of EE/RES
Learn from best practice in similar regions
EE is far more complex than RES ( many stakeholders, no lobby)
Provide institutional capacity
Provide long term reliable policies and regulations
                 EE requires behavioural change
                 – champions are needed

The role of policy makers and governments for the uptake of EE is crucial
Provide sufficient institutional capacities for EE issues
Implement legal framework which provides long term incentives for change
Act as a frontrunner ( public procurement, public obligations )
Ask those to be Change Agents who really can act as such
Remove subsidies from non energy efficient sectors

Existing finance schemes have to be adapted in favour of EE
New mandate to developing banks and World Bank
Micro Finance with strong involvement of local finance institutions
Redesign CDM in favour of EE
Develop new mechanisms which can support small sized projects:  such as guarantee facilities, mixed risk portfolios, VERs market
