  2. Contents The energy supply & demand background Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs Main Results Success Factors & Lessons Learned

  3. Energy supply & demand background Since 2000, Tunisia has become a net energy importer. In 2012, the energy independence ratio was approximately 80% with a deficit of 1.6 Million toe. This is mainly due to the decrease of the resources and the rapid growth in demand the energy deficit is dominated by natural gas (75%). This energy is the main source of electricity generation. Surplus Deficit 2012  1635 ktoe

  4. Energy supply & demand background Rapid growth of the peak load that generates increasing needs of investment in electricity generation capacity

  5. Energy supply & demand background From 2004 to 2012, the share of energy expenditure in GDP has increased from 5% to 14%!!

  6. Energy supply & demand background Energy Subsidies has put tremendous budgetary pressure on government. From 2004 to 2012, Energy Subsidies has increased from 0,5% to 3% Of GDP! 2004-2012 7000 Million TND

  7. Energy supply & demand background Electricity is among the most heavily subsidized energy. In 2012 the share of the subsidy was 49% of electricity cost. In other words, the State shares the cost of kWh with the consumer. 49% 40% 39% 31%

  8. Energy supply & demand background Increase of housing electricity consumption about 60% in 10 years 10 years60%

  9. Energy supply & demand background Refrigerator, TV and lighting are the most energy-consuming equipments with a total share of 79% The consumption of AC equipment s is not significant but its contribution to the peak load is very important.

  10. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs

  11. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Production and consumption analysis and study of prioritization of products for labeling. • International best practices and experiences study. • Assessing the capacity to develop and implement a labeling program, including: • Labeling programs policies and regulation; • Standards/specifications; • Stakeholders requirements and market needs; • Institutional and relevant agencies preparation; • Resources and capabilities, including funds, human resources, local manufacturing and testing facilities.

  12. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs

  13. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Implementation of testing facilities (CETIME) : • Refrigerator  2002; • AC equipement2008; • Lighting2010; • Testing protocol (INNORPI); • Training (all Stakeholders); • Conducting pilot tests (60 refrigeration equipments, 50 AC equipments). • Refrigerator  60 equipments; • AC  50 equipments;

  14. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Energy Conservation Law (2004) : • Refrigerator  2004; • AC equipement2009; • Lighting being promulgated; • WM in development;

  15. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Training & information dissemination: • Manufacturers, importers; • Retailers support; • Trade inspectors;

  16. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 X 8 04/2009 X X 07/2007 X X 07/2006

  17. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 X 8 01/2012 X 01/2011 X X 01/2010 X

  18. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Awareness & communication campaign : • All media (TV, radio, newspapers) • Mailing • Flyers, Posters • Field campaigns • Meetings, seminars and exhibitions

  19. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Labeling process monitoring CETIME (testing) Manufacturers importers ANME (Labeling Levels) Retailers Ministry of Trade

  20. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Labeling performance monitoring including display label quality, number of applications / manufacturers, number of products models / types and production / sale number of labeled products.

  21. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Market evaluation

  22. Steps of Energy Labeling & MEPS Programs • Market evaluation 18% 100% 100% 46% 10%

  23. Main results

  24. Success Factors & Lessons Learned • A participatory multi-stakeholder approach is the most effective way of insuring the success of the strategy elaboration and implementation • Control and market monitoring is an essential action to win consumer trust: Ministry of Trade have conducted in 2013 a large campaign of market surveillance to verify conformity of products tested against products marketed • Communication is a powerful tool to promote high performance and efficient technologies: ANME is developing a new communication strategy to promote Energy Labeling Programs • Governments must create a win - win situation between the state and the consumer: ANME is developing a mechanism to promote 1 million high performance refrigerators (600.000 replacement & 400.000 new acquisition)
