1. Introduction to the Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment Initiative Amit Khare, Program Manager, CLASP March 21, 2013

2. Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) • High-Level Policy Dialogue • Technical Cooperation • Engagement with the Private-Sector and Other Stakeholders to drive investment in clean energy and efficiency

3. The Super-Efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD) Initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial helps participating governments accelerate the transition to a clean energy future through effective appliance and equipment efficiency programs. • 16 Participating Governments • Australia Brazil Canada European Commission • France Germany India Japan • Korea Mexico Russia South Africa • Sweden United Arab Emirates United Kingdom • United States China (observer) • Partners

4. SEAD Initiative Goals • Engage governments, private sector, and NGOs to tap the large potential for energy and consumer savings, and environmental benefits available through improved equipment and appliance efficiency; • Provide a framework through which government experts, and others as appropriate, can engage in peer-to-peer collaboration on equipment and appliance efficiency topics; and • Highlight potential offered by and opportunities for action on appliance and equipment efficiency at the CEM, IPEEC, and other high-level dialogues.

5. SEAD Objectives and Activities Super-efficient appliances Awards, Procurement, Incentives, Labeling Energy Efficiency of the Market Inefficient appliances Standards Visit superefficient.org

6. Prizes, Incentives & Procurement Standards & Labeling 2013 Global Energy Efficiency Medal for Flat-panel Televisions The U.S. has committed $20M over 5 years for SEAD Active cooperation with APEC, IEA-4E, and other international forums

7. SEAD Activities and Benefits Adopting best-practice appliance efficiency policies in SEAD economies could save 2000 TWh/year of electricity by 2030, and yield cumulative net national savings of over US$1 trillion through 2030.

8. SEAD Procurement Working Group • Who: Canada, Mexico, India, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States • What: Leverage the bulk purchasing power of public and private sector procurement to promote energy efficient appliances and equipment globally • How: Engage in supporting policy and programs, build strategic partnerships to achieve goal • Why: Public procurement programs can lead by example and raise consumer awareness. Public procurement is significant enough to create a market signal for demand of efficient products, and cooperation can accelerate market transformation A core activity of the Working Group is street lighting, as this is typically one of the largest sources of energy consumption under a municipality’s direct control.

9. SEAD Activities in India • India actively participates in the Awards, Procurement, and Standards and Labeling Working Groups • Participation in the SEAD Global Efficiency Medal Regional and Global Awards Competition • The Bureau of Energy Efficiency Leads the SEAD Efficient Lighting Collaboration • 10 SEAD countries participate in government-to-government technical exchanges to support energy efficient standards and labeling programs • India will host the fourth Clean Energy Ministerial in April 2013
