This document discusses Minnesota's approach to counting behavioral energy efficiency programs towards its goal of achieving 1.5% annual energy savings. It notes challenges with counting ongoing behavioral program savings under a "first year savings" framework, as savings may persist beyond the first year. Minnesota addresses this by dividing total program savings evenly over a 5-year period. However, the document suggests an alternative longer-term approach could better integrate efficiency savings into long-term resource planning over a 15-year horizon by counting lifetime savings from all measures, not just those installed in a given year. This may more accurately reflect efficiency as a long-term energy resource.

Report summary on Intended Nationnally determined contributions -Comprehensiv...RCREEE
This document provides a summary of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) from 20 Arab countries. It finds that these plans outline both unconditional and higher conditional emission reduction targets. Cost estimates total over $109 billion, with 71% of costs listed as conditional on international support. Adaptation actions are generally lower cost than mitigation and focus on sectors beyond energy. Countries' plans emphasize renewable energy development as well as energy efficiency across sectors. Water desalination and carbon capture storage are mentioned in relation to these areas. Overall, the plans indicate ambitions to increase clean energy and jobs while reducing emissions, though voluntary targets may need to become mandatory with regional coordination.
Energy productivity as a new paradigm for sustainable energy transitionsRCREEE
1. Energy productivity is a new policy paradigm that focuses on improving the value obtained from energy consumption through greater energy efficiency, structural economic reforms, and other energy and climate policies.
2. A report by KAPSARC and UNESCWA examined energy productivity in Saudi Arabia and found that diversification efforts and energy efficiency are transitioning the country to a lower energy intensity pathway in line with its Vision 2030 goals.
3. The report discusses how industrial strategy and policy can further increase Saudi Arabia's energy productivity by developing higher value added industries and strengthening local supply chains.
Arab Region Progress in Sustainable Energy Challenges and OpportunitiesRCREEE
The document summarizes the current status of sustainable energy in the Arab region and key challenges. Near-universal electricity access has been achieved in cities, but rural access remains around 80%. Energy consumption has more than doubled since 1990, with renewables playing a marginal role at 4% of energy. Barriers to expanding renewable energy and energy efficiency include high costs, lack of incentives, and insufficient policies. Universal access to electricity and clean cooking fuels has not been achieved. Water scarcity and dependence on fossil fuels are significant regional challenges. Promoting investments, technology, capacity building, and data are priorities to meet development and climate goals.
