About this project

Description

The project objective is to introduce and support the implementation of municipal Energy Management Systems (EMS), including Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS), throughout Serbia, to increase the energy efficiency investments in public buildings and municipal services and to facilitate their more energy efficient operation in general.

Objectives

Promote greater investment in energy-efficiency in public buildings and services in the municipal sector in Serbia.

Project metrics

Outcome 1:

An enabling legal and regulatory framework to support adoption and effective implementation of municipal energy management systems and related energy efficiency measures.

 Indicators:

Amount of investment in energy-efficiency in public buildings and services in the municipal sector directly facilitated by the project
Incremental energy savings as a direct result of project activities
Number of new development partnerships with funding for improved energy efficiency
(IRRF Indicator 1.5.1.A)
Number of people benefitting from improved public services
Tonnes of incremental CO2 equivalent avoided as a direct result of project activities
Extent to which the required new EE policies and regulations (or those be updated) are adopted.
Status of the central EE Support Unit and the number of new, adequately staffed and capacitated municipal EE support units established
Number of successfully completed demonstration project and volume of investment leveraged by the project
Number of municipalities signing the Energy Efficiency Charter
Number of professional/ vocational schools having adopted curricula with greater emphasis on state of the art energy efficient technologies and approaches.
Number of trained energy managers
Outcome 2:

Central and municipal energy efficiency support units are established and operational and their capacity is built to establish energy management and information systems (EMIS) at the municipal level
Outcome 3:

At least 10 “best practice” demonstration projects demonstrating the use of EMS and EMIS for identifying, prioritizing and leveraging financing for municipal EE investments and other related EE measures are successfully implemented with reported results for their first year of operation.
Outcome 4:

Municipal Energy-Efficiency Charter signed by over 80% of all municipalities in Serbia, enhanced public awareness and improved local capacity to implement and manage investments in energy efficiency.
