  1. ELI Efficient Lighting Initiative Philippines

  2. 7,107 island-nation 70 million population Agricultural country Philippines at a Glance • 4.5% GDP growth • Weathered the Asian Crisis better than most

  3. Both the economic contraction and the recovery have been milder than in other crisis-affected countriesGDP Growth Rate (In Percent)

  4. The Philippines was among the first countries affected by the Asia crisis whose GDP exceeds the pre-crisis levelsAverage Real GDP Growth Rate, 1997-1999

  5. Growth Prospects, 2000 to 2010Annual Growth Rate In Percent

  6. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario • Incandescents vs. CFLs • annual sales of incandescents total 40M • annual sales of CFLs total 2M • ratio is 20:1

  7. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario • CFL manufacturers/importers in the Philippines: • General Electric • Philips • Osram • Toshiba • Hitachi • Matsushita • Various Chinese brands

  8. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario • Chinese CFLs • upside: • help drive down prices of CFLs • some CFLs operate in a wide range of voltages • downside: • mostly inferior and smuggled • could “spoil” or “disappoint” the market

  9. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario • Residential • 15-20% of electricity consumption • less than 8% use CFLs • most CFLs are integral ballast lamps • most sectoral customers are unfamiliar with CFLs • price of CFLs is a major deterrent

  10. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario

  11. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario

  12. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario

  13. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario

  14. Initial Findings • Reasons for NOT trying CFL (but aware) • Top reason is the big cash outlay • Secondary reason is the aesthetic nature of CFLs as looking awkward, bulky, or too long • Disappointment brought about by previous use of inferior quality lamps

  15. Fake CFLs • Many are aware of fake CFLs in the market. • Few can tell fakes from originals. • 60% of respondents perceived “fakes” to cost 50% lower. • Fakes are not as bright and much less durable than the originals. • 50% are not inclined to buy fakes and advocates to buy only from legitimate dealers and hardware stores. Initial Findings

  16. Initial Findings • Attitude Towards Quality Control • Almost 70% say assurance of better quality affects their decision to buy CFLs. • Around 30% are not motivated by third party quality control.

  17. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario • Commercial / Industrial • lighting accounts for 30-40% of commercial electricity consumption • lighting accounts for 20% of industrial sector electricity consumption • 71% are aware of CFLs, but 44% do not use them

  18. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario • Commercial / Industrial • 79% use integral ballast lamps, 14% use separate ballast lamps, 7% use both types • CFL users are generally satisfied • 15% experienced problems with the lamps • for many, price is not an obstacle

  19. Philippine LightingMarket Scenario • Commercial / Industrial

  20. General Country Barriers • Lack of awareness of efficient lighting products in the market • Asian economic crisis(“sachet” mentality) • Surplus of 3000 MW power generated to grid(Utilities not pushing DSM plans such as CFL leasing) • Lack of penetration of efficient lighting products(CFL manufacturers/importers are overly conservative in market projections) • Influx of inferior quality CFLs

  21. ELI Philippines • 2 years • $2.5M Program • Fulltime country office established May 2000

  22. Confusing point-of- sale information PR/Advocacy Campaign Getting into Schools Barriers Strategy Residential • Lack of awareness • Price barrier • CFL Leasing Program • Establish Micro-Credit Channels • Vendor Education

  23. Product Testing and Certification Barriers Strategy Residential • Fake CFLs • Voltage instability • Push product with manufacturers • CFL Leasing Program • Establish Micro-Credit Channels • Limited availability

  24. Barriers Strategy Commercial / Industrial • Economic recovery from Asian crisis is slow • Collaborate with other energy efficiency programs • Training building architects and engineers • Limited awareness of architects, designers, and engineers

  25. Barriers Strategy Commercial / Industrial • Assist in formation of ESCOs • Lack of an Efficiency industry • Voltage instability • Product Testing and Certification

  26. Utilities cold to DSM Streetlighting ownership arrangements vary Promote “win-win” incentives Rural electrification Government housing projects High profile demo project Barriers Strategy Public Sector
