3. Related Activities and Networking
Energy Efficiency Program (World Bank)
•The project objective is to reduce energy consumption of public facilities and street lighting
systems through implementation of energy efficiency measures.
•The project beneficiaries are organinizations financed from the State or Community
budgets: schools, hospitals, state universities, colleges, cultural houses, kindergartens,
street lighting systems.
•Financing Mechanism: The R2E2 Fund implements energy saving measures in installment
payment terms, and Beneficiary will repay the investment cost from the energy savings
within the coming years(max 10 years).
•In a Hospital and 3 schools EEM implementation are nearing completion.
•In a kindergarten, a state archive, 3 universities, 3 schools and 3 streetlightings the works
will soon begin.
