Energy Efficiency Initiative

ADB launched the Energy Efficiency Initiative (EEI) on 29 July 2005. The core objective of EEI is to expand ADB’s investments in energy efficiency projects to $1 billion a year. To this end, ADB will work closely with its developing member countries to identify specific market segments that

  • have a high priority for intervention
  • are suitable to ADB’s role and strengths
  • have replication and scale-up potential.

EEI is being implemented in three phases:

  • Phase I was completed in June 2006, firmly establishing the rationale for the expanded and sustained ADB action and EE investment and provide priorities and a framework for next steps.
  • Phase II (ongoing from June 2006 through December 2007) will prepare the country-level investment and action plans on EE, develop the project pipeline for 2008-2010, design and establish the Clean Energy Financing Partnership Facility (CEFPF) [PDF: 112kb | 27 pages], and pursue immediate EE investment opportunities
  • Phase III (2007–2010) will implement the EE investment and action plans, process projects in the pipeline, and commit CEFPF funds.
