Project number: PIMS 1545
Project name: Polish Energy Efficient Motors Programme (PEMP)
Duration: 5 years
GEF Implementing agency: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Executing agency: Office of the Committee for European Integration
Local implementing agency: Consortium of the Polish National Energy Conservation Agency S.A. (KAPE S.A.)

GEF Focal area Climate Change
GEF Programme framework: OP 5 - Removal of barriers to energy efficiency and energy conservation


2. SUMMARY

The economic potential for energy efficiency improvement of electric motor systems in Poland is large and could substantially reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions in Poland. However a range of barriers exists, and the market share of energy efficient motors is currently low despite that energy efficiency in industry is a priority in Polish energy and climate change policy. The Polish Energy Efficient Motors Programme (PEMP) project aims to overcome existing barriers for increased market penetration of energy efficient motors and related efficiency improvements in the electric motor system.

PEMP will addresses key technologies and sectors as identified in Polish Energy Policy, focusing in particular, but not exclusively, on the manufacturing industry, the energy sector (heating), the utility industry (water supply and sewage treatment) and mining. PEMP will address information barriers, financial barriers, lack of capacity for project development, and institutional barriers. Under this programme, four components will be developed and implemented: (i) capacity building by providing information and services related to energy efficient electric motors; (ii) four demonstration projects for energy efficient motor systems in different key sectors; (iii) market transformation using a financial incentive mechanism coupled with awareness raising; and (iv) development of industrial energy efficiency policy, particularly in the field of energy efficient motor systems.
