1 New ITS Project Proposed INOGATE Work Program for Sustainable Energy (Component C) BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR ENERGY SECURITY

2 INOGATE New ITS Project Proposed INOGATE Work Program for Sustainable Energy (Component C) by Larry Good, CEM, CEA, BEP, CSDP Key Expert for Sustainable Energy Brussels 30 November 2012

3 Outline Major findings from the inception missions Proposed scope of work Demand driven Ad Hoc Expert Facility (AHEF) Indicators of success

4 Major findings from the inception missions, Component C

5 Degree of Interest per PC, Policy

6 Main Inception Findings, Policy Higher interest in developing SE legislation Less interest in EE/RES action plans and binding SE targets TA to improve RES policy, often not requested by the right stakeholders Challenge: stimulate interest in low interest areas (e.g., SEAPs, binding SE targets)

7 Degree of Interest per PC, Financing Armenia Azerbaijan Belarus Georgia Moldova Ukraine Financing SE projects: Degree of interest per country per area 1. Capacity building on project development and financing instruments (C3) 2. Development of FIT schemes (C1) Review of SE feasibility studies (C1) Low

8 Degree of Interest per PC, Capacity Building Increase of Institutional Capacity: Degree of interest per country per area Armenia Azerbaijan 1. Best practice transfer 2. Development of 3. Energy auditing on SE tech. & practices carbon trading / ETS schemes & certification (C3) (C1) mechanisms (C1) Low Belarus Low Georgia Moldova Ukraine

9 Main Inception Findings, Financing & Capacity Building High demand for capacity building in SE project development & financing instruments Only best practice transfer on SE relevant for capacity building, Task C3 from the originally considered topics AHEF more appropriate for carbon trading mechanisms and energy auditing schemes

10 Degree of Interest per PC, Awareness Armenia Awareness: Degree of interest per country per area 1. Awareness raising to 2. Removal of 3. Awareness raising to industry / general administrative barriers governments / public on SE (C2) municipalities (C2) technologies (C2) Azerbaijan Belarus Georgia Low Moldova Ukraine

11 Main Inception Findings, Awareness Advantage for awareness raising to general public and industry Challenge Insufficient interest for awareness raising to policy makers and removal of administrative barriers

12 Proposed scope of work, Component C

13 Who will do the work? Component C Experts Larry Good Key Expert Sasha Antonenko, Policy Khatuna Didbaridze, Awareness Raising Vahan Babajanyan, Finance

14 General Approach Demand driven activities: Give stakeholders what they request most (within ITS abilities). ITS driven activities: Give PCs what they need to meet ITS objectives. ITS will focus on the activities: likely to produce change that have positive impact on investment climate and political framework

16 Task C1 C1 2. Baseline survey to assess state of play in PCs SE legislation to identify directions of regulatory reforms to provide a useful tool for policy makers to determine specific areas of AHEF tasks

17 Task C1 C1 3. Online database to provide a systemized pool of information to the public to provide useful tool for search, acquisition and comparison of EE and RES policies in PCs to promote forthcoming actions in PCs

18 Task C1 C1 4. AHEF Criteria for eligibility evaluation: Relevance to political framework Relevance to component objectives Commitment Tangibility Regional Perspective Alignment/Added value Efficiency Sustainability Urgency

19 Task C1 C1 5. Operation of AHEF Final objective: facilitate investments, reduce administrative & legal barriers Results oriented (tangible, concrete) Quantified targets: quantities of investments, jobs created, legislation Demand driven: TA requests must come from stakeholders in PCs. Eligibility: Relevant government bodies, regional & local authorities, ESCOs, IFIs, LFIs, investors, NGOs, institutes

20 Design and implement awareness raising (C2) C2 1. Stakeholder mapping Dec 2012 C2 2. Communication workshops Jan 2013 Feb 2013 C2 3. Awareness raising activities C2 4. Toolkit Energy Matters C2 5. Evaluation of SE Campaigns

21 Awareness Raising Communication activities developed in coordination with Component A Interest in raising awareness on SE demonstrated during inception visits How to interest policy makers stimulate demand Well targeted communication strategy needed

22 Awareness Raising Engage local stakeholders to the max, so sustainability is enhanced. Build upon other AR initiatives, build partnerships with other organisations. Work closely with local media, engage journalists and youth. Find innovative ways to achieve desired results.

23 Awareness Raising Awareness raising focused on 2 levels Governments/policy makers Public Range of stakeholders Decision makers Key SE sector players End users Enablers (FIs, NGOs, R&D, universities, media)

24 Awareness Raising Analise results of mapping and communication workshops Define focus of AW in PCs Design effective EE campaigns, consider local context Select sector(s) for each PC for focused EE (energy, transport, industry) Implement AR activities: 12 in total

25 Development of Institutional Framework for SE (C3) C3 1. Training Needs Assess. Dec 2012 C3 2. Capacity Building Plan Dec 2012 C3 3. Workshop Jun 2014 C3 4. Study visits /combo events Oct 2012 Apr 2014 C3 5. Peer to Peer network Apr 2014 C3 6. Investment attraction AHEF tasks on demand

26 Capacity Building Events Study tours Bio energy Completed Combo events SE Financing Feb 2013 SE Awareness Oct 2013 SE Legislation and Policy Apr 2014 Workshops SE Basics for Bankers and Clients Jun 2014

27 Demand driven Ad Hoc Expert Facility (C1 5, Operation of AHEF)

28 AHEF Component C Number of AHEF tasks: applications received 14 tasks planned 30 Implementation plans: 4 Feb 2013 Jul Aug 2013 Jan Feb 2013 Jul Aug 2014 Jan 2015 Total: 30

29 Applications Received Armenia 1 Azerbaijan 2 Belarus 2 Georgia 2 Moldova 2 Ukraine 5

30 7 Key Areas From AHEF guidelines: 1. Legislative Frameworks 2. Investment Facilitation 3. Policies and Strategies 4. Potential for EE/RES 5. Economic Instruments 6. Energy Agencies 7. Energy Auditing

31 Example: AHEF.24.BY Title: Promotion of investment in the sustainable energy sector of Belarus Beneficiary: Ministry of Energy Objectives: To present EU experience To develop guidelines/road map for foreign investors To facilitate access for foreign investors

32 Example: AHEF.26.BY Title: Legislative framework for implementation of certificates of origin Beneficiary: Ministry of Natural Resources & Environmental Protection Objectives: To develop economic incentives for RES equipment manufacturers/res power producers To develop/improve primary and secondary legislation

33 Indicators of Success, Component C

34 Expected Results Improved capacity of stakeholders in effective SE policies & action plans Increase in SE investment Networking and enhanced exchange of best practices & experiences Knowledge transfer and capacity building in RES technologies These are tangible, continuous benefits.

35 Indicators (1) Increased local and EU investments in RES/EE Number of EE/RES investments invested No of jobs created

36 Indicators (2) Further approximation to EU legislation Number of primary acts of legislation proposed for adoption Number of secondary acts of legislation proposed for adoption Number of tertiary acts of legislation proposed for adoption

37 Indicators (3) Political commitments toward promotion of RES/EE RES and EE policies (laws, strategies, action plans) adopted RES/EE national investment targets set

38 APPLICATION Tangible Results Each application must clearly show a) path beneficiary will take to implement recommendations of ITS TA. b) quantification of expected results. Applicants commit to clear and concrete results.

39 ToR Tangible Results Each ToR will show a) follow up schedule, e.g., every 6 months b) what we are looking for, i.e., results beneficiary promised. Applicants commit to clear and concrete results.

40 Tangible Results (AHEF.24.BY) Increased local and EU investments in RES/EE 102 MW of HPP commissioned 162 MW of wind plants commissioned Further approximation with EU legislation (tertiary) Guidelines/road map developed for foreign investors

41 Tangible Results (AHEF.26.BY) Increased local and EU investments in RES/EE 144 million euro 120 MW of RES commissioned Further approximation with EU legislation (primary, secondary) Amendments to Law on RES Changes to/development of Regulation on Issuing Certificate of Origin

42 Tangible Results Use synergy between tasks to enhance results. Targeted awareness raising also stimulates requests for TA to develop RES/EE policy. Utilise capacity building to enhance awareness raising.

43 Tangible Results Build on previous success. Example: Did study tour participant implement what he/she learned? If yes, give TA. Example: Did SEMISE beneficiary implement what TA recommended? If yes, give more TA under New ITS.
