This document summarizes regional progress towards efficient lighting in the SEMED/Arab region. It finds that lighting represents a significant portion of electricity consumption in the region, and transitioning to efficient lighting like LEDs could save 37.8 TWh of electricity annually (5.8% of total consumption) and 24.8 million tons of CO2 emissions. Several countries in the region have committed funds and targets to replace incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps. However, barriers still exist like a lack of standards and awareness. The document calls for governments to implement policies like minimum energy performance standards, financing schemes, and regional testing programs to fully transition the region to efficient lighting.

Energy Sufficiency Indicators and Policies (Lea Gynther, Motiva)Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief looks at questions ‘how to measure energy sufficiency’, ‘which policies and measures can be used to address energy sufficiency’ and ‘how they are used in Europe today’.
Energy sufficiency refers to a situation where everyone has access to the energy services they need, whilst the impacts of the energy system do not exceed environmental limits. The level of ambition needed to address energy sufficiency is higher than in the case of energy efficiency.
This is the 13th edition of the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy, and number 519 in the Leonardo ENERGY series. The recording of the live presentation can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEAdYbI0wDI&list=PLUFRNkTrB5O_V155aGXfZ4b3R0fvT7sKz

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

It is recognized that Energy Efficiency shall be the major component of any energy policy.
Session 7 introduces the institutional framework needed to implement energy efficiency (energy agency, utility Demand Side Management, other) notably by presenting the example of Tunisia.
It deals with the way to fund energy efficiency programmes via tax and social levies or carbon finance. This session gives an overview of white certificates schemes notably with the examples of India and Uruguay, and introduces different support energy efficiency schemes (grants, tax incentives, soft loan,other).

2. Country Lighting Assessment
• Estimates the savings potential of a country from the phase-in of
energy efficient lighting.
• These assessments consider savings potentials for
• (1) the on-grid lighting market, encompassing the residential,
commercial/industrial and outdoor lighting sectors, and
• (2) the off-grid lighting market, in countries that have a high number of off-
grid end users.
• 5% of global electricity consumption could be avoided through a
transition to efficient lighting
• 490 Mt of CO2 savings per year
• Equivalent to the emissions of more than 122 million
mid-size cars
• Closing over 250 large coal-fired power plants
• US $210 billion in avoided investment

3. Benefits of Phasing out ILs in the Arab Region
● Out of the 130 countries analyzed by en.lighten18
are from the Arab region (on-Grid).
● Lighting represents about 34 % of the total
electricity consumption in the Arab region
● Saudi Arabia and Egypt are the largest consumers
of electricity and has the highest saving potential
● Lighting represents the highest percentage of
electricity consumption in Algeria (41.3 % and
Sudan (35.5%)
● Phasing out ILs in the region would save:
– Nearly 37.8 Twh of electricity (an average of 5.8 % of the total
consumption)
– Nearly 24.8 Mt of CO2

5. National Initiatives towards transition to EL:
Regulations
http://www.enlighten-
initiative.org/portal/CountrySupport/GlobalPolicyMap/tabid/104292/Default.aspx
● Minimum energy performance standards
(MEPS)
– Used in Egypt for CFLs
● Mandatory labeling and certification
– Mandatory labels for CFLs exist only in Algeria and
Egypt.
– Voluntary labels for CFLs in Lebanon
● Building codes are evolving in the region
– EL has not been included
4/7/2013 5
6. National Initiatives towards transition to EL:
Market-based instruments
● Fiscal Instruments and Incentives
– Tax incentives offered in many countries for EE and RE
projects (could be extended to CFLs)
– Most countries with bulk distribution programs of CFLs
have used direct subsidies
● Information, Communication and Voluntary
Actions
– Almost all countries are implementing public awareness
campaigns to promote CFLs
– Public leadership and reference projects exists in many
countries (Egypt, UAE ).
– The UAE’s “Make The Switch” campaign is pioneering.
4/7/2013 6
7. End-of-life treatment of used lamps
● Mercury content of CFLs is a public health
concern.
● New models of ENERGY STAR-rated CFLs
have mercury content levels of 1-2 mg
● Sound management of used lamps at their
end-of-life should be part of the E-Waste
regulations
● Initiatives planned in Egypt, Lebanon, and
Morocco
4/7/2013 7
8. Monitoring Verification and Enforcement
● Many countries have national standardization
bodies who are ISO members.
● National accreditation bodies exist in six
countries.
● 6 countries have national institutions to accredit
laboratories
● Qualified testing facilities for lamps are rare in
the region
● MVE capacity needs to be strengthened
4/7/2013 8
9. Manufacturing of Lamps
● Some production of ILs – need to
transform production to CFLs
● The region has a limited capacity for the
manufacturing of ELs.
● Mostly these facilities are in collaboration
with international Lamps manufacturers
4/7/2013 9
10. Regional strengths towards transition to EL
● Commitment to energy efficiency
● A number of pioneering initiatives on
efficient lighting
● Capacity for standards development,
testing, and certification
● Power sector and energy pricing reform
policies are underway
● Evolving green building initiatives
● Capacity for local manufacturing of lighting
products
4/7/2013 10
11. Barriers and gaps to the transition to EL
● Limited political awareness about the
benefits of EL in some countries.
● Lack of Minimum Energy Performance
Standards
● Limited involvement of the private sector
and other stakeholders
● Low level of public awareness
● Financial and cost barriers
4/7/2013 11
12. Conclusions (1/2)
● Similar policy packages were used in the
region
– energy price reform,
– a strengthened legislative and institutional framework
– provision of fiscal incentives,
– development of standards and labeling programs, and
– public awareness programs
● Five countries in the region have already
distributed about 27 million CFLs to consumers
● Three countries have announced target dates to
phase out ILs.
4/7/2013 12
13. Conclusions (2/2)
● Although S&L programs exist in the region, they are
missing for CFLs
● Though green building initiatives are evolving, they
don’t consider EL
● The region has some basic capacity for local
manufacture of CFLs ( need to be expanded)
● The region has some technical capabilities for MVE
(need to be strengthened)
● Lack of sustainable end of life schemes for spent
lamps
4/7/2013 13
14. Policy Interventions : the Role of
Governments (1/2)
Develop integrated strategies to promote
transition to EL, through:
● Setting MEPS
● Using financing schemes and fiscal arrangements
to lower initial high cost.
● Using labeling schemes to disseminate
information and promote efficiency
● Leading by example by using only EL technologies
in their own public buildings
● Subsidizing CFLs instead of subsidizing electricity
4/7/2013 14
15. Policy Interventions : the Role of
Governments (2/2)
● Development of regional EL mandatory
testing and certification schemes
● Integrate sound management of EL products
into E-Waste policies including take-back
schemes.
● Join en.lighten Partnership Program to
phase- out of ILs technologies (11 Arab
countries have already joined)
