1.  The Council of Arab Electricity Ministers of the League of Arab States has adapted the Arab EE Guideline during their 26th Executive Office meeting that took place in Cairo on 23 November 2010.

2.  This Guideline is based on the EU directive 2006/32/EC on energy end-use efficiency and energy service known as “Service Directive”.

3.  It is a 10 year framework program that requires: ¡  setting of long term/short term indicative energy efficiency targets ¡  and the preparation and implementation of National Energy Efficiency

Action Plans (NEEAPs).

This project is funded by the European Union

4.  The process of translation, adaptation and adoption of the EU directive into the Arab EE Guideline took two years.

5.  This Guideline was circulated to the Ministers for National adoption according to Article 13 of the Guideline.

6.  Article XII of the guideline states that: ¡  the RE/EE Expert committee set up in accordance with the

decision of the Council of Arab Ministerial Council for Electricity No. 127,

¡  and the committee's work groups shall be responsible for monitoring the implementation of this guideline in coordination with regional and international institutions and specialized research centers.

7. The LAS EE Working Group during its 2nd meeting that took place in Khartoum on 23 November 2011 included the following resolution: a) Request the Technical Secretariat (Energy Department) of the Council of Ministers to coordinate with RCREEE and MED-ENEC to conduct a study on the availability of training and certification of energy managers and energy service providers and to propose a relevant regional program to be circulated to the members of the EE Working Group in order to have it finalized and presented for approval during their next planned meeting during the 2nd half of 2012. b) Organize a workshop to present the available experiences relating to national programs for the certification of energy managers and auditors for the purpose of supporting the study mentioned above. c) The above mentioned workshop is to be organized during the 1st half of 2012 and to have the study finalized by end of June 2012.

1. Conducts an energy audit against a fixed fee. Delivers a report with recommendations and pulls out. 2. As in case 1. In addition implementing no cost/low cost measures if are available 3. As in case 1 conducts an energy audit and details recommendations by an investment grade report (IGR) that may also include engineering design 4. As in case 3 an energy audit and prepares an IGR. In addition SP assists in establishing an improved data collection, recording and analysis system. 5.Vendor ESCO, selling, leasing or even operating their own high energy efficiency equipment.

6. As in case 5, but the performance contract has a clause about guaranteed savings.

7. Complete engineering design for recommendations and invests under a performance contract. 8. Contract for delivery of energy based on a true ESCO model.

To conduct a study on the availability of training and certification of energy managers and energy service providers and to propose a relevant regional program including a delivery mechanism.

This project is funded by the European Union

ü  To improve the awareness of the Arab EE Guideline and its different articles

ü  To give the participants a feel of certain pre-requirements that needs to be in place once a country decides to implement measures relating to energy managers, energy audits and energy efficiency performance contracting.

ü  To present the available experiences relating to national programs for the certification of energy managers and auditors for the purpose of supporting the study.

ü  To finalize TOR for the MED-ENEC study

v  Annex B provides samples for eligible measures for the different

sectors such as: v  Energy audits v  Energy engineers v  Energy Performance contracting

This project is funded by the European Union

It requires each government to make sure that the public sector: v  is under this Guideline. Sample measures are listed in annex B v  select two mandatory measures from a list in Annex C, requiring

energy-efficient public procurement, energy audits, energy performance contracting,….

This project is funded by the European Union

v  do one or more of the following: 1.  Offer competitively priced energy services to customers 2.  Offer their customers competitively priced energy audits, and/or

energy efficiency improvements 3.  Make equivalent finance to delivering the above available to fund

energy audits

This project is funded by the European Union

Governments to ensure the availability of appropriate qualifications, accreditation and certification schemes for the:

v  providers of energy services, v  energy audits v  and energy efficiency improvement schemes.

This project is funded by the European Union

Governments to make available the required financial resources to support and implements it energy efficiency programs and other measures for promoting energy efficiency as well as improving the market for energy efficiency services (i.e. energy efficiency subsidy funds)

Governments to ensure the availability of efficient, high-quality energy audit schemes that can be carried out in an independent manner by ESCOs and Distribution Co. These should identify energy efficiency improvement measures
