Project title: European Investment Bank (EIB) support for Energy Efficiency
About project: *The EIB has signed 3 loans supporting projects in Belarus:
1. A € 90m loan will finance the replacement of obsolete gas-fired boilers with biomass boilers capable of producing around 1 000 GWh/year of renewable energy instead of using fossil fuel. The project also involves the upgrade of district heating systems through the installation of new peak boilers and the modernisation of grids in all six Belarus regions. The loan – provided under the European Union’s EU4Energy Programme – will support thermal renovation of multi-apartment buildings with a total floor area of 500 000 m2. This will help to significantly cut the housing sector’s energy consumption, resulting in energy savings of around 60 GWh/year, and reduce dependence on imported fuel.
2. €85 million loan to Belarusbank and 3. €20 million to Belagroprombank aim to improve access to long-term financing for Belarus's SMEs.

About project: *KfW is giving Montenegro a loan of € 45 million and a € 4.8 million grant for the third phase of the project for energy efficiency in public buildings. The money will be made available for the third phase of the EEPPB project.
*The loan has a term of 15 years, with a grace period of five years, at a fixed interest rate of 1.06 percent. The KfW grant is provided through the Western Balkans Investment Framework of the European Investment Bank.
*The approach of the programme includes classic measures to increase energy efficiency: roofs and facades are insulated, windows, doors and lighting are renewed. And new, more climate-friendly heating systems are installed.
* As part of the programme, all 2,500 public buildings in Montenegro are to be equipped with modern energy management systems, such as smart meters and other sensor and other sensors and measuring devices. Further technologies, such as photovoltaics and solar thermal energy for own electricity use or heat generation as well as an appropriate architectural design of the buildings are implemented.

About project: *The main objective of this project is to help create the necessary conditions for municipalities to improve their use of energy resources.The project will achieve this objective by increasing the capacities of all municipalities to implement energy-efficiency measures and raising awareness of the benefits of better energy management.
*UNDP will be developing and piloting a streamlined and affordable energy-management system in the Skopje municipality of Karposh as a model for future adoption throughout the country.
*Energy efficiency measures will be implemented in two public buildings—a school and a kindergarten. The aim is to improve the municipality's capacity to develop and implement measures to improve energy efficiency and to showcase the benefits of such measures.
*The project will finance an important upgrade of an energy-management software package called ExCITE—software that is expected to become mandatory for all municipalities. This software, developed with UNDP’s support, and now used by all municipalities, streamlines the monitoring of energy use in all public buildings, as well as public lighting, and should become a key tool in municipal energy management.
*The project will also develop a specific module for remote monitoring of energy use in buildings and public lighting.
*The knowledge and experience gained in municipal energy management will subsequently be disseminated to as many municipalities as possible through workshops, printed material and web-based info points.
*As well as providing training in the use of energy-efficiency software, the project will help municipalities to apply ‘Green Office’ practices.
*The Project will also include information and promotion activities highlighting the multiple benefits of energy efficiency.These campaigns will be targeted both at municipal decision-makers and the general public.

Project title: Promotion of Energy Efficiency and Implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive in Ukraine
About project: * The project advises the Ukrainian Government on legal frameworks for energy, for example in matters of thermal modernisation.
* It also provides training in energy management for municipal employees. At the same time the project advises partners from the state, business and civil society on how they can use Energy Community investments in their region to best effect.
* As part of the national strategy for the thermal modernisation of buildings, a database was introduced in 2020 documenting the indicators for 13,000 public buildings in 23 regions of Ukraine. The project supports data collection as well as the preparation of new laws.
* The project develops and organises training courses, webinars and online conferences.

Project title: Support of the national energy efficiency fund and of a climate-friendly reform agenda (S2I)
About project: * The government is setting up a national Energy Efficiency Fund, which will enable and encourage the refurbishment of buildings. Since most homeowners cannot afford to pay for the construction work, the Fund steps in with grants.
* The fund will provide grants for homeowners to afford construction work (better thermal insulationand modern heating systems). This reduces greenhouse emissions and the state benefits because it does not have to provide energy-related social assistance
* Ukraine, Germany and the EU are providing money for the Energy Efficiency Fund. The German contribution amounts to € 20 million.
*The project supports the Ukrainian Government in setting up the Fund. Together, the partners are creating the necessary structures for handling investments and are developing strategies, human resources concepts and work programmes. A technical office set up specifically for the purpose accepts the project applications and decides on their eligibility for funding.

Project title: Norwegian-Ukrainian Energy Efficiency Initiative
About project: *Norway will contribute €20 million. NEFCO will leverage each project with loans. Norway and NEFCO plan to direct half of the funding to smaller demonstration projects, about 10 to 12 per year, with soft loans of up to EUR 500,000 for each project. The other half is intended for 3 to 4 larger projects for which NEFCO will provide up to EUR 5 million in loans. Further, the beneficiaries are expected to provide at least 10 per cent of the project cost from their own funds.
*The aim is to improve energy efficiency in public buildings, including kindergartens, schools and hospitals and it aims to scale up the use of external municipal financing to achieve energy efficiency in public buildings, strengthened self-governance and sustainable procurement practices
*Grants under the «Norwegian-Ukrainian Energy Efficiency Initiative» are leveraged with a loan mechanism. This greatly increases the funding available for the projects.

Project title: Market transformation for sustainable rural housing
About project: *The project objective is to provide Uzbekistan’s rural population with improved, affordable and environmentally friendly living conditions. The project seeks to transform the rapidly growing rural housing sector in Uzbekistan towards a more sustainable and low-carbon development pathway by designing, piloting and scaling-up a green mortgage market mechanism, which will boost the demand for low-carbon housing among the Uzbek rural population.
*The project consists of four inter-linked components. They relate to introducing a green mortgage scheme for rural housing (Outcome 1), strengthening domestic supply chain and the capacity to design and construct energy efficient (EE) and low-carbon housing (Outcome 2), strengthening policies and regulations, particularly building codes for rural housing and rural settlements (Outcome 3), and raising public awareness about benefits and advantages of EE and low-carbon housing (Outcome 4).
