The Dutch Cooperation Fund for Promotion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency

Overview

A regional TA (TA 5972-REG) on Promotion of Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Abatement (PREGA) is cofinanced by this fund.

The main objective of PREGA is to promote investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas abatement technologies in developing member countries that will

• increase access to energy services by the poor
• realize other strategic development objectives
• help reduce greenhouse gas emissions

To achieve this, PREGA will

• develop capacities of national policymakers, technical experts, and staff of financing institutions for promoting renewable energy, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas abatement
• support policy, regulatory, and institutional reforms, including removal of energy pricing distortions
• facilitate access to private sector financing

PREGA started in 2002 and is currently in its winding up its second phase.
