PROJECT COMPONENTS
The expected impact of SEMP project is that the energy efficient municipalities contribute to a low-carbon development of the economy, improved quality of life and reduced pollution of the environment.
Two components with five (5) sub-components join forces for an all-inclusive approach under two (2) outcomes.
Outcome of Component 1:
A suitable energy management framework improves energy management at municipal and national level.
Outcome of Component 2:
Citizens of selected municipalities benefit from energy efficient public services provided by effective administrations.
The Component 1 is divided to three (3) subcomponents:
Component 1 A: Implementation of Energy Management Systems in 4 Pilot Municipalities
The strategic goal of Component 1 A is to assist the Municipalities of Shkodra, Berat, Korça and Përmet in establishing a suitable Energy Management System (EMS) following the methodology of the European Energy Award. The ultimate objective is to obtain certification for sound energy management.
This includes:
- – support in establishing an adequate administrative structure
- – conducting an energy diagnosis and developing an energy vision as basis for development of a Municipal Energy Plan
- – an Assessment Guidance that allows for standardized assessments and quality ranking of municipal energy management.
Component 1 B: Design of a National Energy Management Framework
The strategic goal of Component 1 B is to develop a preliminary design of a National Energy Management Framework jointly with the Agency of Energy Efficiency (AEE) and based on the experience under Component 1A.
This includes:
- – the design of a standardized municipal Energy Management System (EMS)
- – institutional set-up
- – proposal for assessment and certification process, financing and business model
- – a strategy for roll-out of this framework to all municipalities.
Component 1 C (optional): Support roll-out of National Energy Management Framework
The strategic goal of Component 1C (optional) is to support the roll-out of the National Energy Management Framework.
This cycle includes:
- – completing the design for the National Energy Management Framework with support to its launch
- – anchoring within the central government
- – training of local Energy Management System (EMS) consultants
- – supporting the roll-out strategy and promotion of the framework.
Component 2 is divided to two (2) sub-components:
Component 2 A: Strengthening of capacities in project preparation and implementation through quick-win investments
The strategic goal of Component 2A is to strengthen municipal capacities in preparation and implementation of infrastructure projects through joint implementation of quick-wins.
The Component comprises support regarding:
- – all activities from planning to maintenance of a municipal street lighting project
- – conduction of specific training on identification of projects
- – feasibility studies, technical designs and procurement
- – supervision of project implementation.
Moreover, it provides incentives such as Project Preparation Fund and Access to Investment Funds for well-performing and certified municipalities.
Component 2 B: Strengthening of key institutions at municipal and national level in energy management
The strategic goal of Component 2B is to strengthen institutional capacities through
- – trainings
- – provision of templates and guides
- – support in engagement in a policy dialogue
- – raising general awareness.
Awareness raising measures for decision-makers and the population as well as the policy dialogue will take place in cooperation with the WB, EBRD, KfW and EU. Support will be provided for creation of a favorable policy and conducive regulatory framework and to foster acceptance for the National Energy Management Framework.
