Title: Energy for Development: the Benefits and Lessons of the EU Approach


1
Energy for Development the Benefits and Lessons
of the EU Approach
  • Yuriy Zaytsev
  • University Higher School of Economics (Moscow)

2
EU role in international engagement for
development
  • DAC OECD members USD121.5 billion in 2008
  • G7 members USD82.5 billion in 2008
  • DAC EU countries USD70.9 billion in 2008
  • EU ODA USD14.7 billion in 2008 (17 increase
    from 2007).

3
EU role in international engagement for
development concepts
  • EU development assistance policy
  • The Concept of soft power
  • The Concept of multi-level governance
  • USA development assistance policy
  • National priorities explain geography and
    sector-specific approach
  • Development assistance policy in Russia
  • No legislation and institutional model

4
EU role in international engagement for
development European Consensus on Development
(2005)
  • focus on Millennium Development Goals to meet
    such challenges as development, HIV/AIDS,
    security, conflict prevention, forced migration
    to bring about equitable globalization
  • integration of Europes democratic values into
    development of the poorest countries
  • responsibility of developing countries for their
    own development.

5
Methodological framework of the study
  • Functional approach
  • domestic political management,
  • deliberation,
  • direction setting,
    G8 collective action
  • decision-making
    at global level
  • global governance development
  • delivery
    describes countrys

  • own approach
  • 1 indicates full compliance with the stated
    commitment,
  • 0 is awarded for partial compliance or work in
    progress
  • -1 is reserved for those countries that fail to
    comply

6
Main sectors of energy assistance for development
  • Ensuring developing countries access to modern
    energy sources
  • Clean energy technologies development
  • Ensuring efficiency in raw energy resources
    management
  • Assistance in adaptation to climate change

7
EU and other G8 members (the Russian Federation
and USA) average compliance with commitments on
energy for development

EU and G8 countries (the Russian Federation and
USA) average compliance with commitment on energy
and related issues
9
Ensuring developing countries access to modern
energy sources
  • EU (competitions arranged and assessed by the
    European Commission )
  • EU Energy Initiative for Poverty Eradication and
    Sustainable Development (EUEI)
  • New Partnership for Africas Development (NEPAD),
  • Johannesburg Renewable Energy Coalition (JREC),
  • Global Village Energy Partnership (GVEP),
  • Global Network on Energy for Sustainable
    Development (GNESD),
  • Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
    Partnership (REEEP),
  • Global Forum on Energy for Sustainable
    Development (GFSE).
  • ACP-EU Energy Facility,
  • Africa-EU Energy Partnership.
  • USA (national instruments)
  • Afghanistan Clean Energy Program (ACEP)
  • Russian Federation (G8 initiative)
  • Global Village Energy Partnership (USD30 million
    for 2007 2011)

10
Clean energy technologies
  • EU
  • United National Framework Convention on Climate
    Change (UNFCCC)
  • COOPENER (Intelligent Energy Europe programme)
    (EUR17 million)
  • GEEREF (Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable
    Energy Fund) (USD80 million)
  • Bilateral cooperation (Malaysia-EU business
    cooperation, EUR600.000)
  • USA
  • Bilateral cooperation (USA-China climate
    partnership , USD60 million)
  • Russian Federation
  • World Bank Investment Framework for clean energy
    and sustainable development
  • bilateral and multilateral mechanisms
    to tackle the problem of climate change at the
    global level

Raw natural energy resources sustainable
management (1)
  • EU (main areas of activity)
  • support in decision-making at the international
    level through participation in international
    treaties, and programs of international
    institutions
  • managing a wide range of international
    development assistance instruments, which support
    programs directed at environment protection and
    natural resources management.
  • EU instruments
  • Thematic Programme on Environment and sustainable
    management of Natural Resources, including Energy
    (ENRTP)
  • dialogue between EU and Caribbean Forum
    (CARIFORUM) (USD2.25 million)
  • EU strategy for supporting disasters risk
    reduction in developing countries
  • Russian Federation
  • Bilateral forms of cooperation (China and Iran)
  • EU is implementing the most coherent and
    comprehensive actions in assisting developing
    countries to manage their raw energy materials
  • Both traditional and emerging donors implement
    programs in this area through bilateral forms of
    engagement

14
Environment protection (1)
  • EU
  • the Principle of Common But Differentiated
    Responsibilities (global level)
  • EU comprehensive strategy on integration of the
    environment into the EC economic and development
    cooperation (European level)
  • USA
  • Climate Investment Funds (USD2 billion)
  • Russian Federation
  • participates in a wide range of international
    discussions on climate change adaptation, but
    does not mobilize substantial resources to help
    developing countries adapt to climate change

16
Conclusions and Recommendations (1)
  • Most of the instruments applied by the EU in
    assisting the poorest countries to develop most
    of energy related areas are intersecting and even
    overlapping
  • Linking interconnected projects is profitable
    from the economic perspective
  • Blending different sources of grants can also
    contribute to increasing the efficiency
  • Why not pooling different programs in related and
    interconnected areas to develop larger
    initiatives?

17
Conclusions and Recommendations (2)
  • EU experience in assisting the poorest countries
    to develop energy is a high priority for Russian
    Federation
  • Factors of the efficiency of EU policy in
    development cooperation
  • A thorough identification of regional and
    sectoral priorities
  • The division of labour in assisting the poorest
    countries to develop energy sources
  • Establishing coherence of national policies of
    partner countries with national development
    assistance policy
  • A long-term planning of development assistance
    resources
