Energy Efficiency Workshop: SADC - COMESA Namibia, 11- 12 November 2015

1. A project implemented by in Consortium with REGIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP COMESA/SADC–Examples of Best Practice Policies for EE promotionPresentation by Luc Kevo Tossou Energy Efficiency Workshop: SADC - COMESA Namibia, 11- 12 November 2015 This project is funded by the European Union

2. Agenda • Context (Barriers to Energy Efficiency) • Good practice Measures to promote Energy Efficiency • Questions and Discussion

3. What is blocking application of and investments in Energy Efficiency in Africa? • Energy‐efficiency potentials are not being realised, even when they are economically cost‐effective. Numerous barriers impede their adoption and rapid market diffusion • Lack of information on energy efficiency among consumers and the financial sector, leading to cost-effective energy-efficiency measures opportunities being missed • Limited know how of policy makers • Lack of technical capacity to develop and implement energy efficiency projects • Subsidised energy prices • Organizational and institutional gaps and overlaps • Limited access to capital may prevent energy-efficiency measures from being implemented • Inertia: individuals who are opponents to change within an organisation may result in overlooking energy-efficiency measures that are cost-effective Policy interventions are required to overcome such barriers

4. Good-practice measures to promote energy efficiency • Minimum energy performance standards and labeling • Building energy efficiency code • Energy management system standards based on ISO 50001 • Energy Efficiency Knowledge networks

5. Minimum energy performance standards and labeling • Energy-efficiency standards are procedures and regulations that prescribe the energy performance of manufactured products, sometimes prohibiting the sale of products that are less efficient than a minimum level (mandatory or voluntary) • Energy-efficiency labels are informative labels affixed to manufactured products to describe the product’s energy performance (usually in the form of energy use, efficiency, or energy cost); these labels give consumers the data necessary to make informed purchases • Energy labelling programmes for household appliances have been introduced in 54 countries around the world (SADC EE Status Report)

9. Minimum energy performance standards and labeling – Important aspect For regional efforts on MEPS and labeling, consider harmonization which involves: • Adoption of the same test procedures • Mutual recognition of test results • And/or alignment of performance standards levels and energy-labeling criteria for particular appliances • Harmonization allows countries, companies, and consumers to avoid the costs of duplicative testing and non-comparable performance information and to access a wider market of goods.

10. Building energy efficiency codes – Status of implementation • Used by governments to reduce the energy consumption in buildings • New buildings and existing buildings undergoing renovation or alteration Source: IEA, 2013

11. Building energy efficiency codes – Example of the Danish Building energy code • Over time the stringency of the code has increased from 350 kWh per m2 per year to nearly zero energy consumption in 2020. Source: IEA, 2013

12. Building energy efficiency codes – Example of the IEA Countries • Building energy codes have helped IEA member countries to reduce their building energy consumption. Source: IEA, 2013

13. Energy management system standards (ISO 50001) • Energy management programmes (EnMPs) are policies and initiatives that encourage companies to adopt energy management • Energy management involves the systematic tracking, analysis and planning of energy use • ISO 50001 energy management standard contributes as a framework for industrial plants, commercial facilities, and organizations to manage energy • Relevant for large and small companies, buildings, municipalities, transport fleets • ISO 50001 • ISO/TC 242 developed ISO 50001 (49 countries participated) • ISO/TC 257 is working on to develop further guidance and standards

19. Energy Efficiency Knowledge networks • Proven to be an effective tool to drive energy savings and energy efficiency among end users • Group of companies that come together to share their experiences in energy efficiency activities in moderated meetings • Initiating institution for the network (industrial chamber, industry associations, energy agency, utility, etc.) • Main benefit -----> Addressing lack of knowledge and market awareness by consultancy and expert presentations • Success factors • Companies • From different branches • Located in one region • Willingness to share information and to invest in EE measures • Participation in an active and constructive way

20. Energy Efficiency Knowledge networks – Status in the World Source: Arqum, 2012

21. Other Best Practice Measures • Fuel efficiency standards in the transport sector (Examples in the EU and North America) • Training courses and certification for professionals (energy auditors, energy managers, etc.) • Financial incentives • Financing mechanisms
