OUTLINE
1) Why focus on the public sector?
2) PEPS partnership – goals, strategy
& current projects
3) PEPS: Future directions
Why the Public Sector?
1) Save energy, money, pollution and carbon
– Large, cost-effective savings potential (>20%)
– Historically low energy prices
2) Policy credibility
3) Market presence
– Government is a large % of GDP
– Biggest energy user
– Biggest buyer of energy-using products
4) Market leadership (influence buyers & sellers)
– Entry point for new technology
– Implied endorsement
– Example for others
5) Support Agenda 21 and Johannesburg Plan of
Implementation principles
– Integrate energy efficiency into policies, planning, and O&M of
. . . public sector.

PEPS Partnership
• PEPS Partners
–
–
–
–
–
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability
Alliance to Save Energy
IIEC
In-country partners: CSC (China), CONAE (Mexico)
• PEPS Goals
– Help government agencies achieve direct energy and cost
savings, with societal benefits (pollution prevention,
reduced pressure on energy supply systems).
– Mobilize public buying power and leadership to move the
market toward energy-efficient products and services.
PEPS Strategy
• Information and Decision Tools
— Energy savings estimation software (EST)
— Guidebook
— Website
• Technical Assistance to Governments
— Mexico
— China
— India
— South Africa
— APEC Economies

Policies and targets
Public buildings (existing, new)
Energy-efficient government procurement
Public infrastructure: efficiency,
renewable energy
– Water/wastewater, transit, fleets, roads, public
lighting and other public services
5) Information, training, incentives, and
recognition
PEPS Information
and Decision Tools
• EST (Energy Savings Tool)
– Spreadsheet application to estimate savings from
E-E purchasing
– Translated into Spanish and Chinese
– Mexico: Municipalities trained in use of tool to
estimate energy, cost, and pollution savings
– China: Used to estimate savings from government
purchasing of office equipment, lighting, and TVs
• Guidebook – Leading the Way: A Guide to
Efficient Energy Use in the Public Sector
– Peer review – Spring, 2006
– Expected publication – Summer, 2006

PEPS in Mexico
• Municipal Purchasing Project:
–
–
–
–
USAID funded
Builds on ICLEI’s Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) network
Eight cities participated in pilot
Purchasing guidelines and technical specifications
• office equipment, interior lighting, public street lighting
– Regulations (Normas) drafted for each municipality
– Three training workshops
• Initial Results (through 2005):
– Energy-efficient procurements by four cities
– Estimated annual savings in the four cities:
• 5,000+ MWh
• $726,000
• 3,295 metric tons of CO2e
PEPS in Mexico: Next Steps
• Expand training to at least 15 new cities in 2006
– Create critical mass of experience to help mainstream EE
considerations within municipal procurement processes
– Promote sharing of experiences among cities
– Emphasis on targeted workshops, web tools, telephone, email
– Two small grants awarded to municipalities to assist with
purchase of energy-efficient products
• Include additional products
– e.g., motors, refrigerators, air conditioners, pumping systems
• Extend program to federal government
– leverage relationship between PEPS and CONAE (PEPS staff
member housed at CONAE)
• Outreach to Latin American region
Lessons Learned (1)
• Key mistake: Overly ambitious beginning
– Tried to replicate and expand on mature U.S.
federal purchasing program in short time frame.
– Counted on resources at federal level, without
proving concept first.
– Focused just on technical tools, rather than
reinforcing tool applications through conducting
actual procurements to show results.
Initial foray with Mexican federal government
was unsuccessful; had to be abandoned when
key collaborators left agency and critical mass
had not yet been reached.
Lessons Learned (2)
• Start small, get foothold
– Started municipal effort with just eight
municipalities and eight products.
– Launched program within one year, gaining
confidence of cities and developing momentum for
expansion.
– Focused on getting tangible results at a pilot level
to allow for stronger expansion and improved
government buy-in.
– Success at municipal level has resulted in renewed
interest (and resources) at federal level.
PEPS in China
• Partners:
– CSC (China
Standardization Center,
formerly CECP)
– National Development
Reform Commission
– Ministry of Finance
• Co-sponsors: Energy
• Goals:
Foundation, US EPA
– Develop and implement mandatory policy for energyefficient government purchasing
– Support expanded public sector efficiency initiative
(“short-listed” in study for next National Energy Plan)
PEPS in China (Cont’d.)
• Government Procurement Project:
– Energy-efficient government procurement to
complement recently adopted testing and labeling
– International workshop, Beijing (Sept. 2003)
– Procurement Policy Issued (Dec. 15, 2004)
• Expanded Public Sector E-E Initiative:
– International Symposium, Kunming (Aug. 2004)
– China-US Study Tour (Nov. 2004) as groundwork for
broader public sector initiatives (2005+)
– Public sector energy efficiency on “short list” in
study for next National Energy Plan
PEPS in China: Next Steps
• Aid CSC in implementation of procurement
policy
• Expand program to new products
– Help with product selection, specs development
• Tracking and feedback
• Harmonize procurement specs with other
APEC economies
– Initial focus: Japan, South Korea
• Help expand the policy agenda for public
sector energy efficiency
Lessons Learned (1)
• Factors contributing to the rapid
adoption of the new Procurement Law:
–
–
–
–
An enabling policy in place
Existing structures on which to build
Immediate need (energy crisis)
Existence of a nationally authorized energy
efficiency labeling program
– A simple beginning
– High-level political endorsement
Lessons Learned (2)
• The rapid adoption of the Procurement
Law came with several tradeoffs:
– Low level of authority
– Insufficient training
– Insufficient information materials
