Genesis of the project
2. Genesis of the project
Basing on facts:
- the technical potential for energy efficiency improvement of electric motor systems in Poland is large in both absolute and relative terms;
- energy efficiency increases could substantially reduce domestic GHG emissions in Poland, thereby supporting Poland's activities as a party to the UN Framework Con-vention on Climate Change (UNFCCC);
- there is great economic potential for energy efficiency improvements with low pay-back periods that meet the usual investment criteria. However, manufacturers have reported that almost no energy efficient motors have been sold recently in Poland. Therefore, it is clear that these investments face substantial barriers;
- a large economic potential exists with higher pay-pack period, which could be ex-ploited by financial incentives lowering the pay-back period;
- the manufacturing industry, the energy and water sector, and the mining industry are key sectors, because they show the largest economic potential for efficiency improve-ments.
- lack of national promotional initiatives and lack of funding for such activities;
- finally good experience with PELP - Polish Efficient Lighting Project (transformation of market of energy efficient lighting sources);
The Polish Foundation for Energy Efficiency (FEWE) proposed development of project aimed in transformation of market of electric motors and motor systems. The proposal was approved by Global Environment Facility GEF and beginning of 1999 development of the full scale programme has started. The FEWE obtained support from Polish National Energy Conservation Agency - KAPE, Polish Copper Promotion Center - PCPM and United Nations Development Programme - UNDP.
