1. New capital versus existing capital
Different tools are required for different parts of the energy efficiency terrain:
New capital versus existing capital
Policy and regulation versus EE investment programs
Key factors are who is making investment decisions relevant for energy efficiency, and how important is energy efficiency in these decisions

2. Energy Efficiency Interventions by Economic Sector
KEY SECTOR
SUBSECTOR
PRINCIPAL EE INTERVENTIONS
Industry
A. New Plant
Policy and planning
Equipment regulating standards
B. Existing Plant
1. Energy Supply Industries
Restructuring investment
EE investment
2. Industry Energy Consumers
Buildings
A. New Buildings
Relating codes and standards
B. Existing Buildings
Transportation
A. Motor Vehicles
Vehicle regulating standards
B. Other

3. Specific Energy Efficiency Investment Initiatives
Supply-side EE investment;
End-user EE investment:
Requires institutional mechanisms to deliver expanded EE investment
Mechanisms must match country institutional environments
Mechanisms
must have
capacity to deliver:
a) Technical investment project identification and assessment; and
b) Financing.

4. Three Types of Institutional Mechanisms for EE Investment Delivery Include:
Financial intermediation programs (lines of credit; guarantees; revolving funds);
ESCOs;
Utility DSM.

5. Three Sets of Questions to Debate:
Is increased WBG EE investment the right goal? More specifically:
Should increased effort be made to improve energy efficiency in broader, new capital investment projects? How?
What is the best balance in support tools for promoting specific EE investment programs?
As EE financial intermediation projects increase, what tools and products are appropriate for immature markets? When do we walk?
Has past emphasis on developing ESCOs and DSM been well placed? Is there a future for these models?
