Ministers and other high-level representatives from 24 governments convened for the Clean Energy Ministerial in Washington in July 2010 and in Abu Dhabi in April 2011 to collaborate on policies and programs that accelerate the global transition to clean energy technologies
CORE PRINCIPLES
• “Deliverables” are concrete and transformative clean energy initiatives led by like-minded and willing governments
• No expectation that each government participates in all initiatives
• No communiqué or other negotiated text
• Distributed leadership model
-- Page 3 --
GOALS
• Make substantive progress on the 11 CEM initiatives, which have the potential to:
– Avoid the need to build more than 500 mid-sized power plants in the next 20 years
– Bring improved energy services to more than 10 million people without access to electricity by 2015
– Promote rapid deployment of renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, and electric vehicles
– Help encourage women to pursue careers in clean energy

I. Energy Efficiency• Appliances• Smart Grid• Buildings and Industry• Electric Vehicles
II. Clean Energy Supply• Solar and Wind• Carbon Capture, Use &
Storage• Hydropower• Bioenergy
III. Cross-Cutting• Clean Energy Solutions
Center• Off-Grid Lighting• Women in Clean
Energy
LARGE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR MODERN OFF-GRID LIGHTING• 1.4 billion people lack access to
grid electricity
– 96% in Africa and Asia
– Many cannot afford higher-cost alternatives to grid electricity

OFF-GRID LIGHTING: SOLAR AND LED ENERGY ACCESS PROGRAM (SLED)• Goal to transform the global market for off-grid lighting by replacing dirty kerosene
lanterns with solar-powered LEDs
• Implemented by IFC in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy
• Since CEM joined forces with existing World Bank Group Lighting Africa initiative:
– Regional coverage expanded from 6 countries in Africa to include Asia
– Cumulative sales target increased from 2.5 million to 10 million Photo by Evan Mills

ONLY A FRACTION OF THE POTENTIAL FROM MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS IS CAPTURED CURRENTLY
Cooperation among SEAD partners’ national standard-setting bodies could save by 2030:• 1,800 terawatt hours per year of electricity = as much as would be
produced by 600 five-hundred megawatt power plants• US$150 billion per year of net energy-related expenditures Leads to
significant energy savings for households (e.g., Existing standards in the U.S. save an average of $285 per household per year )
APPLIANCES: SUPER-EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCE DEPLOYMENT INITIATIVE (SEAD)
-- Page 11 --
SEAD aims to coordinate policy for efficient appliances and equipment
• Regular and ongoing contact between partner governments’ standard-setting experts enables greater coverage of product categories at lower public cost
• Harmonizing test procedures reduces trade barriers for efficient products and facilitates comparisons of efficiency programs
• For globally-traded products, coordination of measures such as incentives, procurement, and awards magnifies market transformation benefits
