4 What is Light? 4

5 Light is Excitement 2,000 lux and more is the illuminance in modern stadiums during major sporting events. 3 million fans on average attend matches locally during a global soccer tournament. 5

6 Light is Concentration 8,000 LED lighting technology patents are owned by OSRAM. 125 million photosensitive cells can be found on the human retina. 6

7 Light is Safety 90% of all information absorbed by motorists is visual. LED-Matrix Intelligent headlights: oncoming vehicles are blinded out exactly from the light distribution thanks to sensors and special electronics. 7

8 Light is Opportunity 175,000 fishermen operate on Lake Victoria. The majority start work when darkness descends on Africa s largest inland water. 35% lower operating costs compared with kerosene lighting thanks to rechargeable lamps. 8

9 Light is Efficiency 15% of generated electricity worldwide is used for the purpose of artificial lighting LED Lighting in connection with intelligent Light Management Systems achieve savings up to 70 percent compared to unmanaged lighting 9

10 Light is Life 10

16 OSRAM s interest to be active in a public-private partnership? Acceleration and market preparation! Growth drivers Market development Total lighting market in billions Demographic change >110 Electrification Emerging markets Energy efficiency Decarbonization Volume Growth Value Growth 79 18% Solid State Lighting 66% Traditional green Digitalization New lighting applications Traditional basic Solid State Lighting (SSL): LED/infrared/laser-based products and solutions Traditional green: products with at least 20% less energy consumption versus comparable basic products.

17 Agenda 1. What is light? 2. en.lighten Public-Private Partnership 3. Private sector s opportunities in a PPP, example OSRAM 4. Scaling up actions and challenges 18

18 Business needs for scaling up action on national, regional or local level (I) Global partnership to reach acceleration in market transformation Establishment of appropriate policies, speedy, efficient and cost effective Optimal risk transfer and risk management Acceptance of knowledge and information transfer Open access or application possibilities for capital and other sources of funding and organizational structures Establishment of dedicated procurement and regulatory policy to incentivize market transformation to efficient lighting Establishment of appropriate electricity tariff structures and the existing infrastructure 19

19 Business needs for scaling up action on national, regional or local level (II) Global partnership to reach acceleration in market transformation Focus on upfront capital cost of lighting technologies, break-even calculations Establishment of safe disposal facilities for lighting equipment Fair competition and allocation for tenders, e.g. street lighting, lighting in public buildings and etc. Avoidance of monopolist exclusive contracts Respect the interdependencies with other Energy Efficiency Accelerators Creation of added value through synergies between e.g. Building and Lighting Chances for a hybrid economic 20

20 Thank you.

21 en.lighten Public-Private Partnership The en.lighten initiative has been established to accelerate global market transformation to environmentally sustainable lighting technologies by developing a coordinated global strategy and providing technical support for the phase-out of inefficient lighting. The initiative is a public/private partnership between the United Nations Environment Programme, OSRAM and Philips Lighting, with the support of the Global Environment Facility. The National Lighting Test Centre of China became a Partner in 2011 en.lighten assists countries in accelerating market transformation with environmentally sustainable, efficient lighting technologies by: - Promoting high performance, efficient technologies in developing countries. - Developing a global policy strategy to phase-out inefficient and obsolete lighting products. - Substituting traditional fuel-based lighting with modern, efficient alternatives. 22

22 en.lighten Public-Private Partnership Fifty-five countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East have joined the en.lighten Global Efficient Lighting Partnership Programme. These countries have put in place regulations and policies to phase-out inefficient incandescent lamps by the end of Of these countries, 27 were selected as pilot countries and became eligible for receiving direct technical assistance from UNEP. In the last quarter of 2013, the pilot activities were finalized in Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama); Chile, Uruguay, Jordan, and Tunisia. Altogether, this region and countries have successfully launched and adopted their regional and national efficient lighting strategies. Pilot activities are still undergoing in West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cote d Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinee, Guinee Bisau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togolese Republic) for the development of a regional efficient lighting strategy, which will be finalized and endorsed by ministers of energy in June
