The Renewable Energy and Energy
Efficiency Partnership (REEEP)
Marianne Osterkorn
International Director REEEP

REEEP - the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Partnership is an international NGO registered in Austria
1. REEEP currently comprises more than 200 partners
representing 35 governments, businesses and NGOs
committed to accelerating the uptake of renewable energy
and energy efficiency.
2. REEEP is currently funded by the EU and 11 governments:
Austria, Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the
Netherlands, Norway, Spain, US, and UK, the major
donor of REEEP

REEEP’s vision is to make energy systems sustainable
1. REEEP aims to reduce market barriers and financial obstacles
for renewables and energy efficiency and so facilitate technology
transfer
2. REEEP believes in action on the ground via project activities
that are targeted on policy improvements and innovative
finance mechanisms
3. REEEP focuses on emerging markets and developing countries
and contributes to improving access to reliable energy for the
poor

CO2 emissions efficiency savings
The savings of 6,340 mio t according to the IEA scenario would be equal to the
total current CO2 emissions of the United States and Canada combined

Renewables and improved end-use efficiency can
account for 90% of avoided CO2 emissions until 2030

A real impact can only be achieved by combining the
increased use of RES with accompanying EE measures
• EU RES directive defines consumption targets, i.e. Member
States may reach their goals also via EE measures
• According to the latest EC report on progress in renewable
electricity, Sweden and Poland, two countries with defined
consumption targets, stand \"a good chance of reaching the
2010 target\"
• In Italy, small PV installations are eligible for \"White Certificates\"
(tradable certificates for energy savings). Extraordinary large
growth of electricity consumption currently offset benefits
• In Australia, solar water heaters are given green certificates based
on the electricity consumption they displace Sources: European Commission, REEEP
