- Event 13 September 2021 Unshackling ESCO Potential: Public Financial Mechanisms that Enhance the Viability of ESCO Projects In order to reduce the annual growth in global energy demand through 2040 from 1.0% to 0.3%, an estimated USD 24.5 trillion in energy efficiency (EE) investments will be needed. Across developed energy service markets around the world, the public sector can potentially mobilize the bulk of that capital by creating a demand for ESCO services and introduce financial mechanisms that will enhance project viability. Such initiatives could include the use of energy performance contracting in public…
- Project 1 September 2021 The Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) UNEP DTU is an implementing partner of the project “Climate Enhancement Package (CAEP) financed by the NDC Partnership.CAEP assists developing countries, members of the NDC Partnership, in achieving two overarching objectives: Objective 1. Enhance NDCs, including by raising ambition, as part of the Paris Agreement’s NDC update process; Objective 2. Fast-track implementation of NDCs, including by providing in-country technical expertise and capacity building. The CAEP intends to catalyze…
- Project 30 August 2021 Strengthening Danish participation in the ISGAN Annex 7 - Smart Grid Transitions ISGAN Annex 7 - Smart Grid Transitions is a work programme of the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN), a Technology Collaboration Programme of the International Energy Agency. The aim of ISGAN Annex 7 is to investigate institutional change associated with smart grid deployment. It uses the framework of transition management to spark off an international, trans-disciplinary research activity in the social sciences supporting policymakers in the field of Smart Grids by focusing on the…
- News 16 August 2021 Closing the Energy Efficiency knowledge gaps Improving energy efficiency is widely recognised as a key element and a low hanging fruit in addressing climate change while at the same time contributing to sustainable development. Specifically, energy management represents a significant opportunity for building, transport, industrial-commercial, and other sectors to reduce their energy use while maintaining or boosting productivity. The potential in improving energy efficiency is also reflected in Sustainable Development Goal 7, which calls…
- Webinar & E-Learning 20 July 2021 Keys to US ESCO Growth: Government Mandates and Risk Management (Webinar) - 08.06.2021 The ESCO Industry in the United States has grown from its original existence into a market size in 2017 of about $7 Billion USD. During this growth, ESCOs have grown in all market segments, but in the United States, predominantly serve the public building market such that in 2014, roughly 92% of all work was with public buildings. As the market has grown, the project sizes have grown as well, with projects for the Federal Government averaging $0.8 Million in the 1990’s to $5.5 Million and…
- News 9 July 2021 Pilot studies of transformational impact show the extent of climate policy ambition Four pilot cases have showed how looking at climate action policies through a Transformational Change lens can yield new insights into what works and why. The four cases cover different levels, sectors and stakeholders, and have used a new methodology, developed by UNEP DTU Partnership experts, to assess both new and emerging climate policies. The Transformational Change Methodology is a stepwise approach to determine the extent to which a policy is truly transformational in terms of delivering…
- News 29 June 2021 New report out: "Local value capture from the energy transition: insights from the Solar PV industry in Kenya" This report aims to bring attention to the local companies operating in the solar PV market in Kenya and the ways in which they became competitive in a market dominated mainly by international companies while also operating under several constraints. It describes the companies’ respective characteristics and competences and their various resources, linkages and networks, both formal and informal. It also narrates the development trajectories and strategies that have allowed local companies to…
