exp<strong>an</strong>sion <strong>of</strong> the global market for renewable<br />
energies <strong>an</strong>d energy efficiency technologies”<br />

Introduction<br />
REEEP is a Public-Private partnership <strong>an</strong>d was launched by the United Kingdom along with other<br />
partners at the Joh<strong>an</strong>ne<strong>sb</strong>urg World Summit on Sustainable Development in August 2002. It has<br />
been developed via <strong>an</strong> intensive consultation process in 2003 covering a wide r<strong>an</strong>ge <strong>of</strong> stakeholders<br />
at the national <strong>an</strong>d regional levels.<br />
In June 2004, the REEEP was formally established as a legal entity in Austria with the status <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong><br />
International NGO. The partnership actively structures policy initiatives for cle<strong>an</strong> energy markets <strong>an</strong>d<br />
facilitates fin<strong>an</strong>cing mech<strong>an</strong>isms for sustainable energy projects.<br />
By providing opportunities for concerted collaboration among its partners, REEEP aims to accelerate<br />
the marketplace for renewable energy <strong>an</strong>d energy efficiency. Its goals are to:<br />
1) Reduce greenhouse gas emissions<br />
2) Deliver social improvements to developing countries <strong>an</strong>d countries in tr<strong>an</strong>sition, by improving the<br />
access to reliable cle<strong>an</strong> energy services, <strong>an</strong>d by making REES more affordable<br />
3) Bring economic benefits to nations that use energy in a more efficient way <strong>an</strong>d increase the share<br />
<strong>of</strong> indigenous renewable resources within their energy mix.<br />
The partnership is funded by a number <strong>of</strong> governments including: Australia, Austria, C<strong>an</strong>ada, Irel<strong>an</strong>d,<br />
Italy, Spain, The Netherl<strong>an</strong>ds, The United Kingdom, The United States <strong>an</strong>d the Europe<strong>an</strong><br />
Commission.<br />
REEEP's regional secretariats provide access to best practice in policy <strong>an</strong>d fin<strong>an</strong>ce to promote<br />
renewable energy <strong>an</strong>d energy efficiency. REEEP's International Secretariat engages political,<br />
fin<strong>an</strong>cial <strong>an</strong>d business support to reduce the risk inherent in implementing new policy <strong>an</strong>d fin<strong>an</strong>cing<br />
initiatives<br />
Vision<br />
We seek to accelerate <strong>an</strong>d exp<strong>an</strong>d the development <strong>of</strong> renewable energy <strong>an</strong>d energy efficiency<br />
systems in our own economies <strong>an</strong>d in our energy portfolios.<br />
Tremendous fin<strong>an</strong>cial resources, from the private <strong>an</strong>d public sector, will be needed to meet developing<br />
<strong>an</strong>d tr<strong>an</strong>sition countries' future energy dem<strong>an</strong>d in a sustainable way. Obstacles prohibiting this<br />
development include the lack <strong>of</strong> reliable policies <strong>an</strong>d regulatory measures, <strong>an</strong>d the perceived high risk<br />
<strong>an</strong>d low returns investments in REES.<br />
