The
project’s main objective is to support the advancement of an energy transition,
based on energy efficiency and renewable energies.
Strategy
of the project is a multi-level approach focusing on strengthening the
capacities of the public authorities in terms of energy efficiency and
renewable energy project implementation leading in the mid- and long-term to
noticeable impact in the population. Capacity building of decision makers as
well as technical officers inside the public institutions is combined with
support on strategy and policy design as well as advice on organizational and
procedural set-ups. This strategic approach includes the analysis and
preparation of international best practices on technical, methodological and organizational
skills as well as instruments
and processes related to the economy and legislation of national energy
transitions under consideration of women empowerment (gender
aspects) and anti-corruption measures / prevention.
Enhanced
institutional, procedural and
technical capacities are key to foster the energy transition on national level
and help the Government with attracting further international funds for sustainable
development.
At
the end of the causal-chain, house owners and tenants benefit from the
implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy programs in terms of
lower cost
of living and better quality of living (e.g. thermal comfort, indoor air
quality). Cost savings on municipal level allow Local Public Authorities to
allocate more
budget for social services. Energy savings in commerce and industry increase
competitiveness and foster economic growth.
The
intermediaries, like engineers, energy auditors, photovoltaic installers,
craftsmen and construction companies can benefit from increased demand in their
services.
Finally,
it is possible that new economic branches can be created in Moldova, for
example photovoltaic module mounting companies or production of organic thermal
insulation material for buildings.
Last but not least,
ambitious decarbonization in the framework of the UNFCCC / Paris Agreement
attracts international attention and climate finance.
