1. Promoting Growth through Sustainable and Efficient Energy Consumption in Commercial Sector

2. Overall Objectives of NAMA
Promoting Belize’s low carbon development to achieve sustainable growth of businesses and greater returns on investments
focus is on large and medium sized commercials to adopt EE production and operations because 2/3 of national energy saving potential is in Commercial sector,
Developing standards and labels to promote adoption of EE technologies;
Introduce financial incentives to establish a fully operational market for EE technologies;
Developing a regulatory framework to ensure compliance;
This slide describes the objectives of the NAMA: ideally in a diagram form or picture. Panelists should describe the objective in relation to the country’s development and/or climate strategies.

4. National development strategies & Policies
Sustainable Energy Action Plan (refers to labelling and certification systems in chapter 1), completed,
Rural Electrification Strategy and Action Plan (EU supported, on-going),
Draft Utility Energy Services Model (under discussion, goal to develop a market place, including audits and auctions),
Assessing National Innovation Systems (completed, next step: Industrial Policy to mainstream EE in the industry),
With the overall objective to achieve the SDGs, including the NDC targets.
This slide describes the success factors of the NAMA: we will provide a list of common success factors from which the panelists can relate their NAMAs to and elaborate on their specific cases

5. Technical Interventions
3 Key Goals:
Existing Commercials: Replacing existing non-efficient technologies with more efficient appliances and fixtures; in the mid-term retrofit of windows/roofs (through a regional standard under discussion);
New Commercials: Adopt the mandatory building code (forthcoming, 2017) and implement energy efficient technologies;
Early Actions will focus on the following technologies: AC/cooling, solar water heaters, lighting, refrigeration, smart metering and electrical fixtures;

6. Early Actions EE measures in Commercials through adoption of:
AC/cooling,
solar water heaters,
lighting,
refrigeration,
smart metering and electrical fixtures;

7. Early Actions – Unit Costs
AC/cooling: BZ$ 12,500 (unit/5t)
solar water heaters: BZ$ 14,000 (unit/2000l)
Lighting: BZ$ 30 (LED 9W)
Refrigeration: BZ$ 3,500 (unit 30cf)
smart metering: BZ$ 500
electrical fixtures: BZ$ 100

8. Early Actions – Scale
AC/cooling: BZ$ 12,500 x 6 (per commercial) x 1200
solar water heaters: BZ$ 14,000 x 1 (per hotel) x 300
Lighting: BZ$ 30 x 100 (per system) x 1500
Refrigeration: BZ$ 3,500 x 10 (per system) x 1500
smart metering: BZ$ 500 x 1 (per system) x 1500
electrical fixtures: BZ$ 100 x 20 (per systems) x 1500

9. Early Actions – Total Costs
AC/cooling: BZ$ 90,000,000
solar water heaters: BZ$ 4,200,000
Lighting: BZ$ 4,500,000
Refrigeration: BZ$ 52,500,000
smart metering: BZ$ 750,000
electrical fixtures: BZ$ 3,000,000
Total Costs: BZ$ 154,950,000

10. Supporting Measures - Policy
Develop new standards (lighting completed, refrigeration on-going, AC and others forthcoming);
Adopt Caribbean labelling system (on-going);
Fiscal measures (penalty mechanism/banning)
MRA with Mexico to use their MRV system;
Establish legal framework and enforcement mechanisms, including reporting requirements of establishments;
Adopt Caribbean building code (on-going);
Costs of Enforcement: BZ$ 250,000 annually (x 3 years)

11. Supporting Measures – Technical Assistance
Market and SD Impact Assessment (identify costs, financing and socio-economic impacts) – request for external assistance (2017);
Costs: BZ$ 200,000
Technical Assistance to build an MRV system to assess the GHG & SD impacts of the policies and actions;
Costs: BZ$ 100,000

12. Supporting Measures – Awareness & Capacity Building
Capacity development to operate the MRV system;
Capacity of overall supply chain, including vendors, technology providers through new training courses with accredited training institutes (Caribbean accreditation mechanism is on-going); Cost: BZ$ 500,000
Best practice guide (tools); Cost: BZ$ 70,000
Benchmarking and award systems for best performing establishments;
Systematic dialogs with industry leaders and government;
Behavioural change in establishments through staff trainings;

13. Supporting Measures – Total Costs
Costs of Enforcement of Policies and Regulations: BZ$ 250,000 annually (x 3 years): BZ$ 750,000
Market and SD Impact Assessment: BZ$ 200,000
Technical Assistance to build an MRV system: BZ$ 100,000
Capacity of overall supply chain: BZ$ 500,000
Best practice guide (tools); BZ$ 70,000
Total Costs: BZ$ 1,620,000

14. Finance mechanism – International Grants
Supporting Measures: BZ$ 1,620,000 Enabling environment, technical studies and assessments, capacity development and trainings:

15. Finance mechanism - Loans
Utility Energy Service Model – develop an energy efficiency portfolio (successfully implemented in several states of the USA):
Model tested for 3 years on commercials and then decide to scale-up;
Premium of EE technology and energy efficient fixtures is covered by utility;
Only ‘star’ certified equipment is eligible;
Green funding line set up through the development bank of Belize:
Revolving loan fund to incentivize retrofits;
Seed grant funding of BZ$ 10-20mio through international donor;
Pilot on-going (BZ$ 2mio) to test immediate cash flow benefit;

16. Institutional arrangements – Management and Funds
Oversight, Coordination and implementation:
Ministry of Public Services, Energy, Public Utilities (MPSEPU)
Grants: Ministry of Economic Development
Revolving Green Loan Fund: Development Finance Corporation
Energy Service Model: Belize Electricity Limited
Implementation through Energy End Use Working Group:
Bureau of Standards,
Department of Environment,
National Climate Change Office,
