• REEEP Objectives
• generate green kilowatts save energy
• Stimulation of a significant global increase of
  investments in RES energy sources
• Stimulation of significant increase in the global
  use of energy efficiency measures
• Improvement of rural energy supply in developing
  and transition countries by utilisation of RES
  and increase of energy efficiency

Leveraging existing partnerships REEEP intends
to work with established partnerships across the
sustainable energy sector. These partnerships can
provide complementary services and skills to the
REEEP network. Examples are MEDREP UNIDO
WWF ACORE ASEAN JREC OAS
CREIA GVEP CLASP US Clean
Energy Initiative IEA
CDI GNESD REC

• Mostly Brazil, China, India, SA
• Some projects multiple countries

11

• REEEP policy activities aim to
• Facilitate exchange of experience between policy
  makers and regulators on the mechanisms that will
  accelerate the development of renewable energy
  and energy efficiency (sustainable energy)
• Improve understanding of the technical issues
  related to the integration of sustainable energy
  into the power system
• Recognise and act on the opportunities that
  energy sector reform provides for the development
  of energy systems- including the opportunity to
  incorporate social and environmental objectives
  from the outset
• Promote better understanding and awareness of
  economic benefits of sustainable energy -
  including reduced reliance on fuel imports and
  opportunities for income generation, particularly
  in rural areas.

Sustainable Energy Regulation Network (SERN)

• Sustainable energy regulation network (SERN) -
  for regulators, government departments and other
  stakeholders
• Based at Warwick University Business School in
  the UK
• SERN aims to
• secure greater understanding of the benefits of
  energy efficiency, renewable energy and
  distributed generation (sustainable energy)
  amongst energy regulators and government
  departments
• secure regulatory mechanisms that incentivise
  sustainable energy

15
Sustainable Energy Regulation Network (SERN)

• SERN activities
• Good practice guides case studies e.g. access
  for distributed generation energy efficiency or
  renewable energy targets, certificates, trading
  systems
• E mail network and database Information
  Clearinghouse
• Training, capacity building, study tours,
  meetings
• SERN Introduction to regulation for sustainable
  energy course
• 1 2 day course modules on sustainable energy
  issues in energy regulation - for regulators,
  government officials and others
• Case studies and references to further
  information

16
Sustainable Energy Regulation Network (SERN)

• SERN training modules and case studies and
  experts
• Have formed part of a one week Utility
  Foundations course run for regulators and
  government officials in Africa (Lusaka and Cape
  Town)
• Are being used in a REEEP funded project to
  provide training and development support on the
  implementation of mechanisms to promote
  renewable energy in the 2003 Energy Act, in
  Andhra Pradesh.
• Will be used to assist develop regulation
  methodologies in Mexico
• Are now being further developed and expanded in
