REEEP TO HOLD REGIONAL PREPARATORY MEETING IN BRAZIL

  October 1, 2009

The Organization of American States (OAS) will hold a meeting Friday, October 2, in Brasilia, Brazil, that energy sector leaders from Brazil and Latin America are expected to attend. The Fourth Regional Preparatory Meeting of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) is organized by the OAS’s Department of Sustainable Development.

REEEP is a global public-private partnership that structures policy and regulatory initiatives for clean energy, and facilitates financing for energy projects. To date, REEEP has funded more than 130 projects in 44 countries that address market barriers to clean energy in the developing world and economies in transition.

The objective of the meeting is to analyze the impact of current and past REEEP projects implemented in Latin America and the Caribbean region in order to review and update the program’s regional priorities in financing, policy and regulation. At the event, a regional representative will be elected to represent the region for two years in the REEEP Program Board.
