        South Australia Retailer Energy Efficiency Scheme

        …introduced an energy efficiency obligation for the residential and small business sectors,  concerning  electricity and gas consumption. Obligated parties include primary retailers with 5 000 or more electricity or natural gas residential customers in South Australia; secondary retailers with annual electricity purchases greater than 27 000 MWh, or annual gas purchases greater than 100 000 GJ.

        Total energy efficiency targets for primary and secondary retailers: 1,200,000 GJ in 2015, 1,700,000 GJ in 2016, and 2,300,000 GJ in 2016. Primary retailers must achieve the following amounts of the total targets through energy savings in priority…

        …the energy efficiency of industry. According to the Government, more than 1000 companies from 37 sectors have established agreements to reduce their energy use.

         

        Within this framework companies have the opportunity to enter into supplementary agreements with the government concerning energy efficient measures with a payback period of over five years. The government looks at the actions it can perform for each one-on-one agreement in order to clear any obstacles so that the measure can be undertaken.

         

        An addendum to the law (Addendum MEE) provides for individuall MEE companies  to achieve 9 PJ in additional final energy savings…

        Project 3E - Market Transformation for Energy Efficiency in Buildings

        Project 3E - Transformation of the Energy Efficiency Market in Brazil - has as main objective the strengthening of the energy efficiency market in Brazil through the training, awareness raising actions, promotion of energy savings and the Energy Efficiency Guarantee Mechanism (EEGM).

         

        The project financed a Capacity Building Program to develope best practice capacity in Brazil in the identification, formulation, implementation and management of EE projects in the buildings sector. This capacity development exercise has been designed to reach a wide range of EE services providers (ESCOs and other energy service providers), as well as building owners/operators.

        Previously, mandatory energy audits, carried out by experts appointed by the Ministry of Industry, were required every three years from 1977 to 1997 for industrial facilities consuming more than 300 toe per year (20 000 sites in France). The degree of compliance in 1994 was only 40%, partly due to inadequate resources. Energy savings identified are about 3% of energy…

        Financing for Energy Efficiency Investments

The Decret n °2002-636 of 23 April 2002 broadens the scope of intervention of authorised companies specialised in the financing of energy efficiency through lease credit (SOFREGIE).

        …French Government announced the creation of a EUR 10 billion fund for the funding of domestic energy conservation projects with low-interest loans. Available from 1 January 2007, the low-interest loans are based on a previous tax-free savings account known as the CODEVI (Compte pour le Développement Industriel). This savings product allowed banks to finance the development of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

         

        The CODEVI as of 1 January 2007 has been renamed the LDD (Livret de Développement Durable), and banks must use a portion of these funds to offer preferential loans for domestic energy conservation projects…
