The project objective is to increase internal investment in energy efficiency projects in the state sector through targeted assistance in the areas of application of energy norms to energy planning, introduction of staff incentives and settlement account for accruing of energy savings, improving audit standards, increasing the share of loan funds over grants in energy efficiency financing. The projects will reduce greenhouse gas emissions directly by approximately 0.35 million tons of CO2 equivalent over 15 years by catalyzing investments in energy efficiency in the state sector of Belarus of no less then USD 8 million, including USD 2.9 million from the Committee on Energy Efficiency. This objective will be realized through 3 outcomes: Increased incentives for state organizations to invest in energy efficiency, Financial resources made available by the state sector for energy efficiency investment are used more efficiently, Project successes sustained and replicated throughout Belarus. |
