Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Projects
in non-EU CEI Member States

• Alois GeisslhoferThe Austrian Energy Agency
  CEI SEF IBA5 Energy efficiency. Renewable and
  new energy sources
• Bratislava, November 24, 2005

Aim of the project

• Identification and development of energy
  efficiency (EE) and renewable energy sources
  (RES) investment projects in non EU - CEI MS
  Capacity Building with companies and technologies
  from CEI-EU-MS
• Exchange of know-how and experience between
  CEI-EU-Member states and CEI-Non-EU-Member States
  regarding Renewable Energy Sources (RES), Energy
  Efficiency (EE), new Energy Technologies (ET) and
  Sustainable Supply of Energy (SSE) encouraging
  investment projects in Non-EU-MS of CEI countries
• Involvement of international financing schemes
  from IFIs and other multilateral and bilateral
  donor programs (EU, EBRD, WB, GEF, BEEF, FREE,
  REEEP, CEI funding instruments, ).

CEI seminar Financing Instruments for Energy
Efficiency on November 5, 2004 in Vienna

• 83 participants from 16 CEI-MS
• A lot of financing possibilities of energy
  efficiency (EE) or renewable energy source (RES)
  are available
• Joint-Implementation (JI) CDM programmes/carbon
  financing,
• national energy efficiency and nuclear
  power-decommissioning funds with co-financing of
  EE projects,
• special credit lines of IFIs (i.e. EBRD, WB,
  GEF),
• financing instruments of commercial banks,
• revolving funds for EE (Slovenia, Bulgaria,
  Romania),
• ESCOs as well as
• guarantee instruments.
• To optimise the use of theses instruments for new
  RES and EE investments a lot of activities are
  necessary.
• To optimise the use of theses instruments for new
  RES and EE investments a lot of activities are
  necessary.

Objectives

• Enhance business planning skills by the means of
  learning by doing in project development and
  seminars and therefore
• Increase the ability to attract financing and
  will contribute in the ultimate stage to the
  successful implementation of projected investment
  measures.
• It aims at developing at least one energy saving
  and/or renewable energy project in each
  participating CEI-MS until bankability, meaning
  inherent viability of this project is secured.
• Since EBRD has the highest share in financing
  energy efficiency measures in those countries,
  its application standard for financing will be
  the ruler for project identification and outline,
  to be specified according to national
  requirements.

5
Short-term goal

• Complete development of EE or RES investment
  projects (target is at least one project per
  participating CEI-MS)
• that act as a model (best practice case) for
  further similar activities and
• the combined training of stakeholders in the
  elaboration of sound financing and business
  plans.
• Additionally, it will assess the current
  framework conditions and obstacles in the
  participating CEI-MS for energy-efficiency and
  renewable investments and funding and
• disseminate those results among all CEI member
  countries.

Background of the Austrian Energy Agency

• Energy Partnership Programs with the Bulgaria,
  Czech Republic, Romania, Slovak Republic, and
  Slovenia
• Member of the European Energy Network, a network
  with 21 energy agencies (7 of them from CEI
  countries)
• Involvement in several joint EU-cofinanced
  projects with participants from CEI countries
  (PROCHP, BEEP, FRAMES)
• Organiser of a number of international
  conferences, seminars and excursion with
  participants from CEI countries
• Cooperation activities with our 48 members of the
  Austrian Energy Agency, some very active
  companies in the CEI region as investors
• Organiser of 5 so-called Austrian Energy Days
  in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic and
  Slovenia
• Editor of the enerCEE - Energy in Central and
  Eastern Europe (CEE) Newsletter and energy
  profiles of Central and Eastern European
  countries http//www.energyagency.at/enercee/index
