ProCEEEP will target technological changes in air conditioning systems and lamps that are currently installed in public buildings. In El Salvador, the consumption of electricity by government public buildings (including 7,255 buildings according to the latest government census) is about 245 GWh / year, equivalent to approximately 4.2% of the national demand, which was 5,833 GWh in 2015. ProCEEEP will have a duration of 5 years and will be aimed at reducing 26.84 ktCO2e (or 59.1 GWh) during the period of 2018 to 2022. This will be achieved through the replacement of 20% of the inefficient equipment currently used (air conditioners and lamps) by high efficiency technologies in the public building sector (e.g. inverter mini splits and LED lamps). ProCEEEP builds on the experience of previous EE projects in El Salvador. CNE, in coordination with GIZ, worked in the Energy Efficiency for Public Buildings program for the development of guidelines to identify potential savings and EE, which included a proposal for energy indicators and the creation of a building energy management tool for the COEEs. Furthermore, thanks to 4E-GIZ Programme “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Central America”, as well as to the COEEs in the Public Sector, two demonstration projects for the installation of solar photovoltaic systems were implemented in key public institutions: the Ministry of Finance and the Consumer Protection Agency. In addition, the program “El Salvador Saves Energy” was founded, with the aim of undertaking actions to promote EE and raise awareness in the appropriate use of energy, by turning EE into a cultural value in El Salvador. The financial support mechanism will be based in the FEEEP, which is currently being developed by CNE, the Ministry of Finance (MH), and BANDESAL. The FEEEP will raise the financial resources needed to enable public institutions to undertake investments in highly efficient and environmentally friendly equipment in their own facilities. EE investments will then be repaid back to the FEEEP with the savings achieved. The financial models have been already validated, and the creation of FEEEP has been approved by the GoES. The country has been substantial progress in the definition of technical standards on EE for the technologies that represents the highest energy consumption in El Salvador. Currently, there are nine national technical standards already implemented and in plans of updating. In addition, new EE standards would be developed in order to ensure the compliance of energy service companies and providers with international best practices. Finally, ProCEEEP will involves a number of technical cooperation (TC) activities, including the institutional strengthening of the key stakeholders (CNE, MH, and the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources, MARN); the design of an EE M&E system, and capacity building for the COEEs. Since the COEEs will be responsible for the implementation of the EE projects, it is important that they can use the system in a proper way. In addition TC will support the establishment of the FEEEP, the creation of a certification scheme for EE products, and the identification of needs and shortcomings faced by engineering firms and technology providers in terms of the quality, efficiency and lifetime of their equipment (A/C and lighting), and in terms of their ability to implement EE projects. Last but not least, the TC will involve awareness-raising activities on climate change, EE, and the importance of a conservation culture, targeting public officials. These activities include lectures and training courses.
