2OUTLINE
- Why focus on the public sector?
- PEPS partnership goals, strategy current
projects - PEPS Future directions
3Why the Public Sector?
- Save energy, money, pollution and carbon
- Large, cost-effective savings potential (gt20)
- Historically low energy prices
- Policy credibility
- Market presence
- Government is a large of GDP
- Biggest energy user
- Biggest buyer of energy-using products
- Market leadership (influence buyers sellers)
- Entry point for new technology
- Implied endorsement
- Example for others
- Support Agenda 21 and Johannesburg Plan of
Implementation principles - Integrate energy efficiency into policies,
planning, and OM of . . . public sector.

7PEPS Partnership
- PEPS Partners
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability
- Alliance to Save Energy
- IIEC
- In-country partners CSC (China), CONAE (Mexico)
- PEPS Goals
- Help government agencies achieve direct energy
and cost savings, with societal benefits
(pollution prevention, reduced pressure on energy
supply systems). - Mobilize public buying power and leadership to
move the market toward energy-efficient products
and services.
8PEPS Strategy
- Information and Decision Tools
- Energy savings estimation software (EST)
- Guidebook
- Website
- Technical Assistance to Governments
- Mexico
- China
- India
- South Africa
- APEC Economies
9Program Categories
- Policies and targets
- Public buildings (existing, new)
- Energy-efficient government procurement
- Public infrastructure efficiency, renewable
energy - Water/wastewater, transit, fleets, roads, public
lighting and other public services - Information, training, incentives, and recognition
10PEPS Informationand Decision Tools
- EST (Energy Savings Tool)
- Spreadsheet application to estimate savings from
- E-E purchasing
- Translated into Spanish and Chinese
- Mexico Municipalities trained in use of tool to
estimate energy, cost, and pollution savings - China Used to estimate savings from government
purchasing of office equipment, lighting, and TVs - Guidebook Leading the Way A Guide to
Efficient Energy Use in the Public Sector - Peer review Spring, 2006
- Expected publication Summer, 2006
- Website www.pepsonline.org

13PEPS in Mexico
- Municipal Purchasing Project
- USAID funded
- Builds on ICLEIs Cities for Climate Protection
(CCP) network - Eight cities participated in pilot
- Purchasing guidelines and technical
specifications - office equipment, interior lighting, public
street lighting - Regulations (Normas) drafted for each
municipality - Three training workshops
- Initial Results (through 2005)
- Energy-efficient procurements by four cities
- Estimated annual savings in the four cities
- 5,000 MWh
- 726,000
- 3,295 metric tons of CO2e
14PEPS in Mexico Next Steps
- Expand training to at least 15 new cities in 2006
- Create critical mass of experience to help
mainstream EE considerations within municipal
procurement processes - Promote sharing of experiences among cities
- Emphasis on targeted workshops, web tools,
telephone, email - Two small grants awarded to municipalities to
assist with purchase of energy-efficient products
- Include additional products
- e.g., motors, refrigerators, air conditioners,
pumping systems - Extend program to federal government
- leverage relationship between PEPS and CONAE
(PEPS staff member housed at CONAE) - Outreach to Latin American region
15Lessons Learned (1)
- Key mistake Overly ambitious beginning
- Tried to replicate and expand on mature U.S.
federal purchasing program in short time frame. - Counted on resources at federal level, without
proving concept first. - Focused just on technical tools, rather than
reinforcing tool applications through conducting
actual procurements to show results. - Initial foray with Mexican federal government was
unsuccessful had to be abandoned when key
collaborators left agency and critical mass had
not yet been reached.
16Lessons Learned (2)
- Start small, get foothold
- Started municipal effort with just eight
municipalities and eight products. - Launched program within one year, gaining
confidence of cities and developing momentum for
expansion. - Focused on getting tangible results at a pilot
level to allow for stronger expansion and
improved government buy-in. - Success at municipal level has resulted in
renewed interest (and resources) at federal
level.
17PEPS in China
- Partners
- CSC (China Standardization Center, formerly CECP)
- National Development Reform Commission
- Ministry of Finance
- Co-sponsors Energy Foundation, US EPA
- Goals
- Develop and implement mandatory policy for
energy-efficient government purchasing - Support expanded public sector efficiency
initiative - (short-listed in study for next National Energy
Plan)
18PEPS in China (Contd.)
- Government Procurement Project
- Energy-efficient government procurement to
complement recently adopted testing and labeling - International workshop, Beijing (Sept. 2003)
- Procurement Policy Issued (Dec. 15, 2004)
- Expanded Public Sector E-E Initiative
- International Symposium, Kunming (Aug. 2004)
- China-US Study Tour (Nov. 2004) as groundwork for
broader public sector initiatives (2005) - Public sector energy efficiency on short list
in study for next National Energy Plan
19PEPS in China Next Steps

- Expand program to new products
- Help with product selection, specs development
- Tracking and feedback
- Harmonize procurement specs with other APEC
economies - Initial focus Japan, South Korea
- Help expand the policy agenda for public sector
energy efficiency
20Lessons Learned (1)
- Factors contributing to the rapid adoption of the
new Procurement Law - An enabling policy in place
- Existing structures on which to build
- Immediate need (energy crisis)
- Existence of a nationally authorized energy
efficiency labeling program - A simple beginning
- High-level political endorsement
21Lessons Learned (2)
- The rapid adoption of the Procurement Law came
with several tradeoffs - Low level of authority
- Insufficient training
- Insufficient information materials
