  1. National Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2010 Republic of Armenia Renewable Energy Week in Armenia, 5 October 2010 Andreas Karner, KWI Consultants, Austria

  2. Agenda • Why energy efficiency? • Addressing current barriers • Scope and objectives of NEEAP • Summary of main measures • Energy Saving Targets • Timeframe

  3. Source: IEA The Energy Efficiency Imperative „Energy efficiency offers a powerful and cost-effective tool for achieving a sustainable energy future. Improvements in energy efficiency can reduce the need for investment in energy infrastructure, cut fuel costs, increase competitiveness, energy security and improve consumer welfare.“ (source: IEA) • Governments around the world are encouraged to elaborate cross-sectoral measures and action plans to enhance energy efficiency

  4. Energy Efficiency – the issue for Armenia • Armenia has significant potential for EE • potential annual savings 132 billion AMD (ca. 360 MUSD) or • 1 TWh electricity and 600 million m³ natural gas or • equivalent to almost 5 % of ist GDP Source: National Program onRenewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (2007), The World Bank (2008)

  5. Energy Efficiency Policy Background • Government of RA‘s commitment to promotion of energy efficiency (EE) is reflected in • Law on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (2005) • National Program on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (2007) • National Program RE/EE identifies sectors with the largest EE potential and provides an outline of technical measures to be taken • Government has vastly improved the economic efficiency of energy use through improved regulation of energy utilities (e.g. highly subsidized energy tariffs have been largely removed in Armenia.) • Government comitted to adopt a time-bound energy efficiency action plan under the development policy lending operations of the World Bank in Armenia.

  6. Addressing barriers for EE in Armenia Armenia has taken important steps already to encourage more efficient use of energy, but many more steps must still be taken: • Existing legal framework needs to be implemented and enforced (e.g. thermal quality building standards) • Lack of information, skills and data to be removed • Realise benefits of energy efficiency: consumers and private companies tend to overestimate costs and underestimate benefits

  7. Objectives of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) • Providing the path for Energy Efficiency in Armenia until 2020 • it‘s mainly considered to be a „policy implementation program“ • preparing an „enabling environment“ for EE • removing existing barriers • priority EE actions in 5 economical sectors defined • specific energy saving targets set for each sector • time frame for implementation

  8. Structure of the NEEAP • A bundle of 20 measures • Horizontal and cross-sectoral measures, focussing on: • Overall legal framework • Institutional setting • Removing missing lack of data and statistical information • Awareness raising and information campaigns • Sectoral measures • residential buildings • public and private service sector • industry and energy sector • transport • water sector

  9. Some highlighted measures • Reinforcement of regular National Energy Statistics • abandoned since 1989 • necessary to provide sector-specific surveys and supply/demand analysis • relevant instrument for monitoring EE implementation • together with staff allocation and capacity building in Statistics Office • Nationale Energy Agency for EE and RES • institutionalization of energy issues in the country • governmental mandate, qualified staff and budgetary means to implement NEEAP • Revision of National Building Code • Consider the total buildings energy performance • set specific targets concerning maximum energy demand of buildings

  10. Implementation time frame • Short term measures: high priority („low hanging fruits“) for the first implementation period of the NEEAP from 2011-2013.Immediate action: • policy making • institutional setting • awareness and communication • Medium term measures: second implementation period from 2014-2017 • Long term measures: third implementation period from 2018-2020 (or longer)

  11. 1st NEEAP – High Priority Measures until 2013

  12. 1st NEEAP – High Priority Measures until 2013 (2)

  13. Energy saving targets under NEEAP • Indication of annual savings compared to the energy demand of the relevant sector • individual target for each measure • cumulated target for each sector

  14. Evaluation and Monitoring of EE Progress • „If you can‘t measure it, you can‘t manage it.“(Peter Drucker) • Targets must be monitored regularly to assess the status of implementation and if necessary increase efforts • Regular Action Plan „Updates“ • 2nd NEEAP to be presented by 30 June 2014 (2011-2013) • 3rd NEEAP to be presented by 30 June 2018 (2014-2017) • 4th NEEAP to be presented by 30 June 2021 (2018-2020)
