UNIDO fosters Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) by providing technical cooperation, analytical and policy advisory services, standard setting and compliance, and by convening for knowledge transfer, partnerships and networking.

UNIDO services are delivered across three strategic pillars:

Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial

Regional Sustainable Energy Centres: Accelerate and complement national efforts through regional interventions

6

Objectives of the regional centres

• Promoting the creation of regional sustainable energy markets, industries and innovation through economies of scale

• Strengthen technical capacities of regional organizations to assist Member States in the implementation of policies and targets

• “Hubs” for knowledge and expertise, as well as platforms for south-south, triangular partnerships and the private sector

• Address common barriers more (cost) effective through regional exchange, approaches and methodologies

• Strengthen the local ownership, leadership, as well as donor harmonisation and alignment

• Address the „missing link“ between international energy and climate commitments and implementation on national level

Efficiency first!

•Energy efficiency is the cheapest and most effective measure to reach sustainable energy for all.

• Investing in efficiency is more cost effective than investing in increased supply.

Electricity use will to an increasing extent be lighting, appliances and equipment

• the non-industrial electricity uses will increase in SSA, including households, smaller enterprises and buildings of all kinds.

• The smallest elements of this electricity use are lighting devices, appliances and equipment.

Energy saving potential in SSA

• Energy intensity is on average three times higher in developing countries than in developed countries, because of technical and non-technical losses in all parts of the system. (Source: AGECC)

• The relative importance of electrical appliances and lighting is higher. (Source: IPCC)

Objectives of the EELA Program

The overall objective of this regional EELA project is to improve access to sustainable energy for women and men, girls and boys, and mitigate negative externalities of the energy system.

This will be achieved by promoting a market transformation for energy efficient lighting and appliances in EAC and SADC. More specifically the project aims to create market and institutional conditions to enable a transformation of the sector to stimulate increased diffusion of efficient lighting products and appliances across all sectors.

This project will bring regional support to private sector-led activities that will lead to increased use of energy efficient high quality lighting and appliances through regional regulatory and trade harmonization interventions; while also considering inclusiveness of all project activities to assure socially sustainable project outcomes.

14

The project objective is fulfilled through a number of activities that are expected to attain the following 5 outcomes:

Outcome 1 - Regional mechanism and platform established to coordinate actions on market transformation of EE lighting and appliances including the support of national Code of Conduct Programs and the exchange among the Member States.

Outcome 2 - Regional policy and regulatory environment for energy efficient lighting and appliances in the SADC and EAC region is improved with a view of the climate change impact and gender responsiveness.

Outcome 3 - Capacities of key market enablers and players in the EELA market are strengthened including regional testing capacity.

Outcome 4 - Awareness among market players and policy makers on energy efficient lighting and appliances is enhanced.

Outcome 5 - Incentive mechanisms to encourage the uptake of EELA based projects in SADC and EAC established.

The project will be implemented in 2 phases: 1)Inception and 2)Implementation phase

• Gender Assessment/Study

Output 2: Market Study on EE lighting conducted

• Analysis of existing regulations

• Mapping of relevant national and regional initiatives

• Mapping of existing Test-Laboratories

• Output 3: EE lighting standards assessed

• EE lighting standards inventory

• Technical committees of standard bodies in EAC and SADC established

18

Collaboration with CTCN

• Strong collaboration between the two projects since the beginning

• EELA market study on lighting will build on results of the CTCN study on appliances

• Regional meetings can be organised back to back in order to create synergies

• capitalize on lessons learnt from both projects

• SACREEE is in the steering committee of the CTCN project

• Connecting environment/climate change stakeholders with Energy

The regional sustainable energy centres can support the outreach for CTCN towards the Member States stakeholders.
