Energy Efficiency in UNECE Region
•
Energy efficiency represents win-win solution to:
 Mitigate climate change
 Enhance energy security in both importing and producing countries
 Guarantee sustainable models of growth for future generations
•
UNECE Region has a widely differentiated situation: both world’s best
and worst performers are in the region
•
Differences due to economic transition, lack of investments,
unavailability of best technology, lack of awareness, pricing and
other policy barriers
•
Integration may help overcome some of the barriers
•
Various UNECE projects are addressing all of these issues since early
1990s

Selected Projects
of EE21 Programme
•
Increasing energy efficiency for secure energy supplies (completed)
•
Enhancing Synergies in the CIS National Programmes on Energy
Efficiency and Energy Saving for Greater Energy Security
•
Analysis of Advanced Technologies in Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy in the Framework of the Global Energy
Efficiency 21 Project and Preparation of Recommendations on its
Application with Special Emphasis on Central Asian Region
(subproject of the GEE21)
•
Financing Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Investments
for Climate Change Mitigation (FEEI)
•

Cooperation between CIS member States
in Energy Efficiency
• Agreement on cooperation between CIS member
States in the area of EE and ES (2002, CIS Executive
Committee)
• Main directions and principles of interaction
between CIS member States in the area of EE and
ES (2005, CIS Economic Council)
• Strategy on interaction and cooperation between
CIS member States in the area of electric power
until 2020 (2005, Electric Power Council)
10
Cooperation between CIS member States
in Energy Efficiency
• Harmonization of legislation and norms is
anticipated
• Establishment of a common system of norms and
technical specifications is anticipated
• Analytical research, information exchange
11
Parallel operation of power systems of
CIS countries
• Unified Power System of Central Asia
• Power systems of 10 CIS countries operate in parallel within
CIS power pool
• Power systems of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Mongolia
operate in parallel to the CIS power pool
• Electricity transmission and power interchanges with power
systems of Armenia, Norway, Finland, Poland, Slovakia,
Hungary, Turkey, Iran, China, and Afghanistan.
12
Parallel operation of power systems of
CIS countries
•
Agreement on parallel operation of the power systems of the CIS
countries (1998)
•
“…the parties will take steps to form and develop an open and
competitive market for electric power and for capacity based on
the electric power systems of the countries that are parties to
the Agreement” (article 13)
•
Concept paper for frequency and power flow control in the
power systems of the CIS and the Baltic States
•
Rules for planning interchange schedules
•
Rules and recommendations for frequency and power flow
control
13
Recommendations for developing
cooperation
•
to provide available capacity of transmission systems for transiting electric
power generated by member-states
•
to create favorable conditions for rational use of hydropower resources and
electric power
•
to render mutual assistance in mitigating and liquidating the consequences of
natural disasters and accidents in the power sector
•
to harmonize and liberalize customs regulations regarding electric power trade
and transit
•
to carry out comprehensive mutual exchange of information
•
to develop and upgrade the electric networks
•
to develop rules for cross border trade of electric power (capacity)
Global Energy Efficiency 21 (GEE21) Project
Launched in 2008 – support from Russian Federation
First project – Global Energy Efficiency 21: Cooperation between the United Nations Regional
Commissions on Energy Efficiency for Climate Change Mitigation – successfully completed in 2011
Publication Financing Global Climate Change Mitigation
Global Strategy for Energy Efficiency Market Formation to Mitigate Climate Change
Two on-going projects:
A. Analysis of Advanced Technologies in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in the
Framework of Global Energy Efficiency 21 Project and Preparations of Recommendations on its
Application with Special Emphasis on Central Asian Region (supported by Russian Federation)
B. Promoting Energy Efficiency Investments for Climate Change Mitigation and
Sustainable Development (funding from UN Development Account)
GEE21 Project
Promoting Energy Efficiency Investments for Climate Change Mitigation and
Sustainable Development (2012-2014)
• Implemented by five UN Regional Commissions (UNECE – lead agency)
Objective
• Capacity building for development of EE investment projects. It will assist UN RCs to
strengthen capacities of their member states to attract investments in EE projects in the
context of climate change mitigation and sustainable development.
Expected accomplishments
a)
Improved capacity of national project developers, energy experts and middle-level
managers in developing countries and countries with economies in transition to develop
energy efficiency investment projects in private and public sectors;
b)
Improved regulatory and institutional framework for promotion of new financing
mechanisms for energy efficiency projects;
c)
Increased financing for investments in energy efficiency projects, including through
innovative financing mechanisms.
