  26. Comparative Analysis (III) !!! Debts vs. Heat Losses !!! (e.g) • Heat Production / Termoelectrica Production : 107 200 TJ / 2001 Losses: 12.7 % Efficiency: 80% - gas; 75% - oil Cost import: 98 USD / 1000 Nm3-Gas 200 USD / tone hard oil ??? USD spends Romania for heating the Earth Romanian Energy Policy Association

  27. 200 Mill. USD savings + 3.6 Mtones GHG / 2001 in utilities Better to increase the debts by importing fuel and spending part for heating the Earth or to invest in EE and JI projects? Romanian Energy Policy Association

  28. Available local funds for EE projects CO2 Romanian Energy Policy Association

  29. Barriers for implementing JI projects in Romania (I) • Low availability of the needed data (energy sector, inventory of the emissions; investment need); • Insufficient expertise in implementing the flexible mechanisms; • Hard currency risk; • Insufficient communication between Municipalities and Ministries and / or between the involved Ministries; • Overloaded personnel of the city halls; • Low interest and involvement of the local commercial banks and the investment funds; Romanian Energy Policy Association

  30. Barriers for implementing JI projects in Romania (II) • Lack of professionals providers for experiences; • Lack of experts for project financing; • High preparation costs for small size projects; • The transparency of the local budgets; • Lack of financial resources; • FRM still pending; • Inconsistent and non-harmonized legislative frame and Ministerial orders (Administrative costs vs. investments); • Book-keeping law does not allow SAVINGS; Romanian Energy Policy Association

  31. Barriers for implementing JI projects in Romania (III) • Inadequate mentality concerning the EE concept; • Reluctance in offering commercial guarantees (PPA) • No minimal price for extra-power / CHP projects; • Social Aspects vs. higher tariffs. Please feel free to complete or to solve such barriers! Romanian Energy Policy Association
