PEPS Promoting an Energy-efficient Public
SectorOVERVIEW

OUTLINE
  • Why focus on the public sector?
  • PEPS partnership goals, strategy current
    projects
  • PEPS Future directions

3
Why 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.

PEPS 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.

8
PEPS Strategy
  • Information and Decision Tools
  • Energy savings estimation software (EST)
  • Guidebook
  • Website
  • Technical Assistance to Governments
  • Mexico
  • China
  • India
  • South Africa
  • APEC Economies

9
Program 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

10
PEPS 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

PEPS 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

14
PEPS 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

15
Lessons 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.

16
Lessons 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.

17
PEPS 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)

18
PEPS 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)

    in study for next National Energy Plan

19
PEPS in China Next Steps
  • Aid CSC in implementation of procurement policy
  • 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

20
Lessons 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

21
Lessons Learned (2)
  • The rapid adoption of the Procurement Law came
    with several tradeoffs
  • Low level of authority
  • Insufficient training
  • Insufficient information materials

22
