    Asia Clean Energy Forum
    This document summarizes a project to strengthen institutional capacity for energy efficiency in Asia. It assessed energy efficiency institutions in 23 Asian countries, identified challenges like weak policy and lack of funding, and recommended enabling legislation, dedicated agencies, training, and improved management. An electronic tool is being developed with case studies and guidance on implementing energy efficiency policies in different sectors through a cyclic process of targeting, tools, partners, and monitoring.

    Capacity building for energy efficiency institutions in Asia and the Pacific

    Asia Clean Energy Forum 2011 Energy Efficiency Workshop 20-21 June 2011, ADB, Manila

    Introduction
    Strengthening institutional capacity to support energy efficiency in Asian countries Assessment report on energy efficiency institutional arrangements in Asia Way forward and follow up action

    Energy Efficiency Situation in Asia and the Pacific


    Many governments have recognized the importance of EE policy; however, active pursuit of EE still lags behind despite this optimism Moreover, the capacity of institutions to promote EE are perceived to be weak and challenged ESCAP recognized it vital to reduce, if not eliminate, this gap by providing policy options for strengthening institutional capacities

    Strengthening institutional capacity to support energy efficiency in Asian countries


    Project funded by the Korea Energy Management Corporation (KEMCO) Duration: 2 years, 2009-2011 Main Objective To strengthen the institutional capacity of Asian countries to develop policy options in support of promoting EE

    Coverage
    Working in 3 subregions
    Central Asia South Asia South-East Asia ________________

    Working with subregional partners


    EurAsEC SAARC Energy Centre ASEAN Centre for Energy

    Milestones
    Situation review and analysis of energy efficiency institutions in the three Asian subregions and 23 Asian countries Compilation of good practices and case studies Partnerships with subregional energy centres Regional Workshop on Strengthening EE in Asia Publication of Assessment Report on Energy Efficiency Institutions in Asia National Workshop in Pakistan and Tajikistan to analyze EE institutional gaps & challenges in the country Subregional workshops at Thimphu, Buthan and Bangkok, Thailand Regional workshop on supporting energy efficiency in AP in Bangkok

    Typical Arrangement of EE Institutions in Asian Countries

    Key messages of the ASSESSMENT REPORT Common challenges include: weak or absent policy/legal framework access to finance inadequate technical & manpower resources ineffective coordination Essential elements of effective institution include: planned institutional strategy established management & leadership http://eeasia.unescap.org/ structure buy-in & ownership among stakeholders, and substantial funding

    Recommendations
    Enabling legislative framework to provide mandate and legal basis Building relevant macro and micro institutions
    a special state institution such as an Energy Conservation Agency or Committee under ministerial control at the national level; legally and financially strengthening existing energy conservation departments or units at all levels; and establishing EE units

    Adequate and sustained funding to realize institutional objectives Expert trainings and scaling-up of information dissemination campaigns Strengthening human resources; and Strengthening management and leadership structure
