Improved Access to Sustainable Energy
Energy and Climate Change
Energy and Climate Change UNDP Energy Profile in NIS Current Situation and Developments Links with the GEF strategic priorities
in the Climate Change FA Possible entry points for UNDP future
support How to be relevant and help ourselves
UNDP Energy Profile in NIS Relatively limited identifiable non-GEF
involvement (exceptions – Azerbaijan, Russia)
Largely GEF-cofinanced Elements of energy sector involvement
in policy work (economic governance) and country assistance dialog
Cross-sectoral issue and importance: governance, poverty, environment
Current Developments Regional mosaic: advanced vs slow
reformers, development (economic, institutional, human)
Resumed economic growth: rates and breadth vary, high commodity prices plus input subsidies including energy costs (Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine), expanded trade, increase in investment
Intra-regional integration, cross-border energy trade/investment
Energy Systems and Reform Low energy efficiency (even EU members),
little RE development (except hydro) – 3 least energy-efficient economies
EE potential: cross-sector distribution – industrial vs municipal/residential
Poverty link: utilities, subsidies (tariffs, cross-subsidies – Russia proposal), rural grid cut-off (opportunity for RE development?)
Prominence of heat subsector
Energy Systems and Reform Power&Utilities: uneven reform patterns,
sectoral differences (power G&T vs municipal utilities) – opportunities (IPP, off-grid, system improvements, DSM
RE – a priority? Regional and subregional trade and
transformation: fossil fuel and power E-W, E-E, power E-S; power interconnection
Heat and Hot Water Sector Important for all countries – poverty and governance
aspect Substantial fiscal and management burden, energy
efficiency potential Inadequate legal and institutional framework, practices,
governance issues Most GEF projects are in this subsector Workshop in Prague – note for GEF M&E – UNDP M&E
publication to follow-up Intra-regional and inter-project dissemination (similar
issues), beyond conventional dissemination KM network involving other stakeholders?
GEF CC/Energy SP Transformation of markets for high
volume products and processes Increased access to local sources of
financing for RE and EE Power sector policy frameworks
supportive of renewable energy and energy efficiency
Productive uses of renewable energy Capacity building: cross-cutting priority Enabling activities
GEF CC/Energy SP
Transformation of markets for high volume products and processes:
Standards and labeling Energy efficient motors, drives,
appliances, fixtures, etc. Metering and control equipment Renewable energy
GEF CC/Energy SP Increased access to local sources of
financing for RE and EE: Lending by domestic banks and leasing
companies Guarantees, insurance and other financial
products Project finance and financial engineering Access to capital markets (bonds) Public financing Consumer finance
GEF CC/Energy SP Power sector policy frameworks:
Linkage with economic governance Power sector reform support Enabling environment for renewable energy
(examples?) Enabling environment for energy efficiency Privatization and other forms of private sector
involvement Technical standards Power trade Renewable energy requirements Tariff and pricing
GEF CC/Energy SP Productive uses of renewable
energy: Non-electricity uses (agriculture,
domestic) Rural Income generation Social infrastructure Linkage with poverty alleviation
UNDP Entry Points Energy and utilities (communal) sector reform
process Links between national
priorities/policies/programs, UNDP core activities, UNDP KM/CoP, and GEF SPs
Country cooperation dialog (participation of EFPs? GEF RCU? KM aspect (we’ve done it and it works?)
GEF support for national policies (SP-1,3) CC enabling activities and national
programs/policies Economic, energy policies
