| Summary: | The main objective of this report is to
provide an intermediate step toward building more
energy-efficient economies in the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) region. The present study complements the 2009
Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) report
by providing a quantitative basis for sectoral targeting and
focusing on delivery mechanisms. Taking advantage of the
results of the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and
Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and preliminary results of the
Readiness for Investment in Sustainable Energy (RISE) World
Bank Survey, the report is able to assess the areas where
countries in MENA can gain most from the energy efficiency
(EE) potential and build an enabling environment for
enhancing EE. Finally, the report draws on lessons learned
on EE from other middle-income and high-income countries and
brings in perspectives that can serve as beneficial for the
MENA countries. The report focuses primarily on the three
most electricity intense end use sectors: the industry,
services, and residential sectors. For many countries in the
MENA region, electricity shortages—often connected to the
cost and availability of imported fuels—are key motivators
for raising EE. This book is arranged as follows: 1) Chapter
one seeks to provide a quantitative basis for considering EE
priorities; 2) Chapter two presents a comprehensive,
integrated framework to support EE; 3) Chapter three draws
on examples from other regions of how energy savings have
already been delivered through mechanisms involving two
classes of agents—energy utilities and domestic finance
institutions—whose participation is key to scaling up EE;
and 4) Chapter four combines the information in the previous
three chapters, and offers options for how to enhance EE in
the MENA region. |
