Energy Efficiency in Ukraine: EBRD Experience Jan-Willem van de Ven Associate Director, Head of Carbon Market Development Energy Efficiency and Climate Change, EBRD
Contents Energy efficiency in Ukraine Barriers and opportunities for energy efficiency EBRD as the lead financier and facilitator of energy efficiency in Ukraine
Energy Intensity in Ukraine Ukraine still remains one of the most energy inefficient countries in the world (at the same level as energy-rich neighbours) Ukraine s energy intensity is 3 times higher than the EU average (PPP-adjusted) 0,4 toe/thousand - 2005 US$ PPP 0,3 0,2 0,1 0 OECD Europe World Poland Czech Republic Belarus Russia Ukraine Source: IEA data 3
Energy Efficiency Potential Ukraine has tremendous potential for energy efficiency even in global terms ( Saudi Arabia of energy efficiency, IEA): Industry: Ukraine s industry accounts for 35% of energy consumption, some potential was realised due to natural gas price increases since 2005, more expensive technology-driven investments required Energy sector: very inefficient energy transformation (40% of TPES). EE potential is large and overlooked, especially in power sector and DH. Large losses in power and gas transportation Buildings: consume the same amount as the whole industry (35%). 10 mln buildings, including 80,000 multistory buildings, energy savings potential at 50% of current energy consumption, equivalent of 12 bcm (Russian gas imports)

EBRD direct lending on energy efficiency EBRD performs free-of-charge energy audits for potential clients and provides competitive financing for the project implementation Astarta EUR 16 million Energy Efficiency Programme 325,000 Energy Efficiency Management System grant 30% natural gas savings, 30% of raw materials Ukrproduct EUR 13 million investments in energy efficiency Energy consumption reduced by 48%, water savings - 5% Lugcentrokuz EUR 6.2 million Energy Efficiency programme Natural gas savings - 10%, electricity savings - 12%
Corporate energy efficiency: Value added to our clients Astarta success story 3 loans of total $100 m with $25 m EE components identified through Energy Audits: Installation of deep pressing pulp presses Modernisation of vacuum pans Replacement of boilers, automation of TPS Installation of VSDs Energy savings of 25-30%; carbon emission reduction of 80 kton CO2e per annum Carbon credits purchased by MCCF ($2.5m) Energy Management Training for 20 engineers 325k Energy Efficiency Management System grant incentive A follow-up biogas study A new $12m loan for biogas plant (one of the largest in Ukraine) in 2012 A new study on bioethanol under preparation
UKEEP: Ukraine Energy Efficiency Credit Line 150 million credit line for Ukrainian banks: UkrExim - $100m; Kreditprom - $10m; Forum - $25m; Mega - 10m For on-lending to private sector for industrial energy efficiency and small renewable energy projects 2 million grant component from donors (Sweden and Austria) to address market barriers to investments: o Project preparation, marketing, information campaign o Project evaluation and assistance to end-users and banks in project design through energy audits Impact to date: 300 projects screened; 50 energy audits completed; 100 projects worth 140 million committed
USELF: Ukraine Sustainable Energy Lending Facility USELF is now replenished by another EUR 70 million (EUR 50m of EBRD and EUR 20m of Clean Technology Fund) Phase II Over 100 applications received, 20-25 projects are feasible, most of them require additional work and technical assistance 21% 14% 10% 14% 31% 10% hydro - 11 wind - 8 solar - 25 biomass - 11 biogas - 17 pellets - 8 In 2010-2014, the EBRD financed 8 projects 3 solar, 2 biogas, wind, biomass and small hydro
Ukraine Residential Energy Efficiency Financing Facility (UREEFF) o Potential for investments in buildings capital repairs is estimated at EUR 15-20 billion o Utility tariffs increased in 2-4 times and expected to grow further o Policy dialogue since 2009: o Draft Laws on Energy Efficiency in Buildings, On Ownership Rights in Multi- Family Buildings, amendments to the Housing and Municipal Services Law o EUR 90 million demand-side energy efficiency programme for residential energy end-users o One-stop-shop programme of technical assistance, credit lines and incentive grants combined with FX risk-sharing and guarantees o Kick starting the market for EE equipment, materials, services 10
