REEEP was established to accelerate RE/EE focusing on underdeveloped and emerging economies
REEEP acts as a market facilitator by reducing market barriers for renewables and energy efficiency systems through focus on:
policy/regulation development and improvement finance and business models
REEEP is driven by a bottom-up approach to meet the real needs on the ground
REEEP works with governments as well as with the private sector
REEEP is committed to the achievement of MDGs and aims to improve access to sustainable clean energy for the poor
REEEP is unique in combining the benefits of renewables and energy efficiency
3
Well established regional and global networkREEEP comprises 270 partners + 3000 friends
REEEP Partners include 46 governments:
• all the G7 countries and 3 “Plus 5” countries (SA, Brazil, Mexico )
• States and key agencies from China and India ( NDRC, IREDA )
• Development Banks and other International Organisations

Success Story: reegle – RE & EE Search Engine
Knowledge Partners
Languages reegle actually covers sources in English, Spanish and French
Visitor numbers
Visitor numbers are constantly growing with an average of about 50.000 users/month.
Sources More than 370 high quality sources included=> more than 220.000 documents can be found via reegle
Actors 1600 stakeholders and actors included as of 1.9.2009
www.reegle.info is an unrivaled tool to find best information on RE and EE
all information comes from selected, high-quality sources and can be visualized on a world-map
offers the latest news and events (including a frequently updated Clean Energy Blog)
connects stakeholders through the reegle Actors Catalogue – one of the largest global database on relevant RE & EE stakeholders
RE News Japan (8.9.) on reegle world-map
10
Value of REEEP for market transformation as other organizations emerge?
Build on a substantial track record of market transforming projects
Flexible in meeting specific country or regional needs and promoting innovative approaches which would not get funded otherwise
Fast reaction on needs and opportunities: maximum 6 months from identification to implementation
Technology and methodology neutral, Best-for-customer approach
Increase impact by sharing of learnings and communication of all REEEP activities on a regional and global level
Flexible, Fast and Focused
11
REEEP project activities are the partnership’s core business
All projects aim to support REEEP’s mission – accelerating the uptake
of renewable energy and energy efficiency contribute to two major objectives
reduce greenhouse gas emissions improve access to clean energy for poor
geographically focus on “plus five” countries and selected LDCs
concentrate on the two types targeted actions which can deliver highest impact and replication assisting with establishing legal and regulatory
frameworks developing innovative finance and business
models to make RE and EE a bankable proposition
emphasize impacts and outputs which can be replicated
be amplified by REEEP services and strategic actions

REEEP’s project portfolio contains 130 projects undertaken in more than 65 countries

An independent Analytical and Synthesis Study confirms the high effectiveness of REEEP projects
90% of projects were rated successful against their stated objective
REEEP developed good practices in providing renewable energy and energy efficient services to the poor
Promotion of ESCO schemes and working with small and medium sized businesses are particularly effective
Stakeholder participation is a central feature of REEEP projects and an instrumental factor in successes
REEEP is a relatively small player in the countries and sectors where it acts, but has proportionally high results for the level of funds disbursed
Projects often have the desired catalyst effect in market development.

Emerging lessons low-carbon energy transition
Public sector plays a key role; End-use energy efficiency policy – standards
& labelling are most effective; Mixed experience with CDM - grid connected
RE and industrial energy efficiency benefit; Solar water heating has reached commercial
stage and is ready for scale-up; Rural electrification initiatives focus on
electricity – do not address thermal needs; Technology neutrality = better outcomes; Financing PPPs – public sector procedures is
the key barrier; Significant local finance is available – more
institutional structures are needed; Microfinance can play a key role – CSFs –
transaction costs, long term finance, risk management.
22
Emerging lessons on process
Ownership of outputs and impacts;
Partnership principle preferred to traditional development assistance approach;
Bottom-up approach and engagement are important;
Knowledge management maximises impacts;
High professional standards; Good governance; Independence and balance are
important to engage governments;
Learn from failures; Seek feedback and independent
evaluation.

REEEP’s innovative delivery
replication market creation policy
Brazilian Hydro Fund:Has been replicated into an overall RES fund
EE Street Lightning in India:Expended from 3 to 10 cities and linked to CDM
China Wind Energy Roadmap:Planning support for China Wind Market
Social Merchant Bank:Innovative End-User financing of small RES
West Africa Modern Energy Fund:$12m in 76 SME in Ghana, Mali and Senegal
Uganda SWHS Policy:Integrated policy combining buildings and power sector
Argentina Energy Policy:Study to establishRE targets in Argentina
Regional Policy for Guanajato:Energy policy for a Mexican state.
EE in Municipal Water Supply:Transfer of South Africanexperience to India
24
Sharing learning’s is a real value of a partnership
The greatest barrier for Energy Efficiency is lack of information, institutional support and not technology
Standards and labels are the most effective policy for end-use EE
SWH are the most effective low carbon energy option in cities and buildings
Rural energy programmes must address the thermal energy needs and generate income to ensure success
Local funds are available but cannot be utilised due the lack of instruments
RE & EE policy solutions have to be tailor-made to best fit into national circumstances – there is no best solution
Activities only deliver sustainable results if they are part of the whole energy value chain
The public sector role as a major energy consumer and investor must be mobilised
RE & EE have to be an integrated part of energy planning and legislature – this is also true for Low carbon Plan
26
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy and Action Plan of Liberia
Produce a national policy instrument to build and increase RE in Liberia
New National legislation and an Action Plan
Establish a national Committee on REES and facilitate local capacity building
This project supports the rebuilding of the energy supply in a post conflict region
