Requirements for a Registry at the National Level Establish or enhance a national coordination unit to operate the registry: ensuring coordination with ministries of finance, environment, energy and others Regulatory decree that legitimizes the registry and establishes operational arrangements Operational guidance statement that specifies registration procedures, MRV standards, reporting requirements, public disclosure process, etc 8 8
Energy+ : A Global Partnership Initiated by the Norwegian Government Scale up efforts to increase access to renewable energy and energy efficiency Premised on promoting transformational change Partnership on two levels: With developing and developed country gov ts, multilateral agencies, civil society and the private sector Bilateral relations with pilot country governments 9 9
Challenges facing Energy+ Fragmentation of domestic and international activities and financing for renewable energy/energy efficiency Competition between national priorities and donor objectives Need for efficiency and incentives to scale-up investments Lack mechanisms to go to scale 10 10
Energy+: Harmonization Mechanism #1: Three- Phase Approach Energy+ Phase 1: Readiness Outputs: Sector wide RE/EE strategic plans Initial budgets and external support secured Capacity building Main Actors: National public sector in consultation with private sector and civil society Funding: National budgets and grants from multi and bilateral agencies Energy+ Phase 2: Implementation Outputs: Policy reforms; Institution building; Infrastructure construction; Legal and regulatory frameworks; MRV system in place Main actors: Public sector with deepened private sector engagement Funding: National budget with multi and biilaterals Phase 3: Performance-based Payments 11 Outputs: Scaled up investments; diversified RE/EE sectors with linkages into the economy Main Actors: Private sector with public support Funding: Private investment and growing role of carbon markets
