Three million Euros available for
clean energy projects across developing world
The Renewable Energy and
Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) today announced a
call for project proposals which support the development
of markets for renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The project call is REEEP’s largest in its four year
history with more than €3 million Euro available for
projects in least developed countries and emerging
market economies.
The project call received
funding from a consortium comprised of Ireland, Italy,
New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom. Norway, the
new major donor of REEEP and the United Kingdom will be
pooling funds allowing for larger investments into
projects. Ireland and Italy will continue their focus on
Africa and New Zealand will bring small island states in
the Pacific into focus.
The REEEP call is an open
tender seeking projects from priority countries – China,
India and Brazil and from across the developing world.
Based on the experience gained over the last two years
with a bottom-up approach to selecting projects, REEEP
will be piloting a combination of bottom-up and top-down
commissioned strategic projects.
REEEP is inviting countries
with specific legislative or regulatory needs or
development finance institutions with need for financing
and business models to develop a project directly with
REEEP. It is hoped that by assisting governments with
lowering risk within the renewables and energy
efficiency sector and working with development agencies
to encourage business and finance models, finance can be
attracted into new markets.
REEEP has also decided to
further increase the importance of energy efficiency in
its portfolio and throughout emerging markets. The
project call will be seeking bidders for the production
of a REEEP Report on Energy Efficiency – in order to
accurately portray the benefits and role that energy
efficiency can play in improving energy security,
lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing industrial
competitiveness, covering the market, policy,
stakeholders and key initiatives.
The call for project
proposals will also commission work around reducing the
risk of investing into renewables and energy efficiency,
synthesizing REEEP experiences from its 50 previous
projects and replicating successes achieved in the 18
completed projects.
Dr. Marianne Osterkorn,
REEEP International Director stated that the partnership
can now add value across a number of areas. “We can now
fund larger and longer term projects and in addition to
our bottom-up approach, the targeted approach will help
to strategically accelerate key markets for renewable
energy and energy efficiency”.
