| Summary: | The summary reviews the Energy Sector
Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP) activities in energy
efficiency (EE), from 1997 to 2002, and evaluates thematic
impacts, and lessons of the ESMAP Energy Efficiency
Portfolio, though outputs such as capacity and knowledge,
and other downstream activities, capturing best practices
from lessons learned. It describes the overall impacts ESMAP
played in mainstreaming EE within the Bank, and client
countries, the catalytic role in supporting EE work, and its
shift from its conventional demand-side management approach,
to innovative energy service-driven, institutional and
financing delivery mechanisms. Lessons suggest a careful
topical selection for effective cross-country exchange,
followed by systematic planning; establishing an
institutional infrastructure for making energy conservation
a profitable commercial business; establishing financing
intermediaries between project developers and financiers, to
bridge knowledge, and perception gaps, reducing transaction
costs; and, expanding knowledge dissemination on innovative
mechanisms, methodologies, and strategies in project design. |
