GLOBAL ENERGY EFFICIENCYACCELERATOR PLATFORM

LIGHTINGElectricity for lighting accounts for 15% of global power consumption and 5% of worldwide CO2 emissions (UNEP, 2012). A global transition to widely available efficient solutions in all lighting sectors (residential, commercial/industrial and outdoor) by 2030 could reduce electricity demand for lighting by more than 32%, and cumulatively avoid 4.2 Gt of CO2, while significantly cutting electricity bills, reducing fuel imports and black outs, and improving end-user welfare. An overnight transition to efficient lighting would save over $ 120 billion annually in lower electricity bills to consumers, through a reduction of over 1,000 TWh of electricity every year. It would also avoid approximately $233 billion investment in 280 large base-load power plants. Furthermore, if the world leapfrogged to LED lighting in all sectors, it would reduce global electricity consumption for lighting by more than 45% and avoid 660 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Whereas the phase-out of ine�cient incandescent lamps is progressing steadily – a large number of developed and emerging economies have already or will phase-out by the 2016 en.lighten target – the transition to e�cient lighting in the commercial, industrial and outdoor sectors remains mostly untapped. Fundamental challenges that need to be addressed to achieve an e�ective and sustainable global transition to e�cient lighting include:

(1) leadership and institutional frameworks,

(2) market awareness and a�ordability of e�cient products,

(3) capacities for surveillance and quality control,

(4) capacities for environmentally sound management of used lighting products, and

(5) donor support and coordination of international �nancial institutions.

Considering population growth, improvement of living standards, and the resulting increased energy demand, electricity consumption for lighting is expected to grow from 2,700 TWh to 3,200 TWh in 2030 unless countries establish and enforce minimum energy performance standards for lighting products in all sectors (UNEP, 2014). Countries should accelerate the transition to the most e�cient and currently available lighting solutions across sectors, including residential lighting (accelerate the phase-in of LEDs and controls), commercial/industrial (phase-in of e�cient linear �uorescent lamps, LEDs and controls) and outdoor lighting (phase-in of e�cient High Intensity Discharge Lamps, LEDs and controls).

Demonstrated international experience shows that an integrated policy approach signi�cantly increases the chances of a successful transition to e�cient lighting, leading to permanent energy, climate, �nancial, and environmental bene�ts. An integrated policy approach to e�cient lighting includes a combination of:

• Minimum energy performance standards, to ensure the efficiency, performance and quality of energy-saving lighting products, leading to a permanent removal of obsolete technologies from markets.

• Supporting policies and mechanisms to promote the demand and deployment for energy-saving products, through utility programmes, rebates, favorable �scal policies or market based mechanisms (NAMAs).

• Monitoring, verification and enforcement to ensure adequate surveillance of markets and discourage the distribution of non-compliant products.

• Environmentally sound management of lighting products, to avoid the leakage of hazardous and electronic waste (present in the technologies) into the environment; and to foster the development of a circular economy and the creation of jobs.
