The Challenges

CO2 Emissions

1.Electricity Generation is the Largest contributor of GHG emissions - 33%

2.Transportation is second 27.2%

3.Industry is Third 27%

To overcome this challenge tariff restructuring as well as

reform are needed

A draft proposal for the tariff reform has been developed in

2012.

For residential sector the target is to reduce the number of

blocks into four blocks including blocks for

1. Poor 100 kWh

2. low income 200 kWh

3. break even block

4. block at the system marginal cost

• A ministerial decree of the Minister of Industry was issued for

applying the specifications and the energy efficiency labels for:

Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Washing Machines, CFLs .

Accredited Energy Efficiency Testing Laboratories have been

erected at New and Renewable Energy Authority premises for:

Refrigerators

Air conditioners

washing machines

Efficient lighting equipment

A ministerial decree (482/2005) by the Ministry of Housing

Utilities & Urban communities has been issued on 20/12/2005

for enforcement of E.E. code for residential buildings, and

(190/2009) for E.E. commercial buildings code

Developed administrative building code has been incorporated

in the Unified Building Law.

Legislation is needed to ensure enforcement mechanisms for

adoption of energy efficiency building codes where the

expected savings from S& L program and EE building codes

could reach 20 to 25% of the consumption.

Rating

The Green Pyramid Rating System (GPRS) is a national

environmental rating system for buildings. It provides definitive

criteria by which the environmental credentials of buildings can

be evaluated, and the buildings themselves can be rated.
