REGIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP COMESA/SADC – Examples of Best Practice Policies for EE promotion Presentation by Luc Kevo Tossou Energy Efficiency Workshop: SADC - COMESA Namibia, 11- 12 November 2015 This project is funded by the European Union A project implemented by in Consortium with

2. Agenda Context (Barriers to Energy Efficiency) Good practice Measures to promote Energy Efficiency Questions and Discussion

3. What is blocking application of and investments in Energy Efficiency in Africa? Energy ‐ efficiency potentials are not being realised, even when they are economically cost ‐ effective. Numerous barriers impede their adoption and rapid market diffusion Lack of information on energy efficiency among consumers and the financial sector, leading to cost-effective energy-efficiency measures opportunities being missed Limited know how of policy makers Lack of technical capacity to develop and implement energy efficiency projects Subsidised energy prices Organizational and institutional gaps and overlaps Limited access to capital may prevent energy-efficiency measures from being implemented Inertia: individuals who are opponents to change within an organisation may result in overlooking energy-efficiency measures that are cost-effective Policy interventions are required to overcome such barriers

4. Good-practice measures to promote energy efficiency Minimum energy performance standards and labeling Building energy efficiency code Energy management system standards based on ISO 50001 Energy Efficiency Knowledge networks

5. Minimum energy performance standards and labeling Energy-efficiency standards are procedures and regulations that prescribe the energy performance of manufactured products, sometimes prohibiting the sale of products that are less efficient than a minimum level (mandatory or voluntary) Energy-efficiency labels are informative labels affixed to manufactured products to describe the product’s energy performance (usually in the form of energy use, efficiency, or energy cost); these labels give consumers the data necessary to make informed purchases Energy labelling programmes for household appliances have been introduced in 54 countries around the world (SADC EE Status Report)

9. Minimum energy performance standards and labeling – Important aspect For regional efforts on MEPS and labeling, consider harmonization which involves: Adoption of the same test procedures Mutual recognition of test results And/or alignment of performance standards levels and energy- labeling criteria for particular appliances Harmonization allows countries, companies, and consumers to avoid the costs of duplicative testing and non-comparable performance information and to access a wider market of goods.

13. Energy management system standards (ISO 50001) Energy management programmes (EnMPs) are policies and initiatives that encourage companies to adopt energy management Energy management involves the systematic tracking, analysis and planning of energy use ISO 50001 energy management standard contributes as a framework for industrial plants, commercial facilities, and organizations to manage energy Relevant for large and small companies, buildings, municipalities, transport fleets ISO 50001 ISO/TC 242 developed ISO 50001 (49 countries participated) ISO/TC 257 is working on to develop further guidance and standards

19. Energy Efficiency Knowledge networks Proven to be an effective tool to drive energy savings and energy efficiency among end users Group of companies that come together to share their experiences in energy efficiency activities in moderated meetings Initiating institution for the network (industrial chamber, industry associations, energy agency, utility, etc.) Main benefit -----> Addressing lack of knowledge and market awareness by consultancy and expert presentations Success factors Companies From different branches Located in one region Willingness to share information and to invest in EE measures Participation in an active and constructive way

20. Energy Efficiency Knowledge networks – Status in the World Source: Arqum, 2012

21. Other Best Practice Measures Fuel efficiency standards in the transport sector (Examples in the EU and North America) Training courses and certification for professionals (energy auditors, energy managers, etc.) Financial incentives Financing mechanisms
