In October 2022, Tunisia moved closer to establishing minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and labels for energy efficient lighting through a workshop and series of meetings convened by ANME, the Tunisian National Agency for Energy Management, and the United Nations Environment Programme’s United for Efficiency (UNEP-U4E) initiative as part of the Leapfrogging Tunisia's Lighting Market to High Efficiency Technologies project. This project, funded by the Global Environment Facility ...Read More
Tunisia Prepares to Equip New Photometry Testing Laboratory to Enhance its National Energy Efficient Lighting Testing Capabilities
In October 2022, as Tunisia prepares its final specifications to purchase new photometry equipment necessary for testing lamps in the main usage sectors, senior staff from Tunisia’s National Agency for Energy Management (ANME) and the national test laboratory CETIME, spent four days on a study tour in France to develop a fuller understanding of the technical features and quality of the key measurement systems required. Tunisia will effectively equip a modern photometric test facility to ...Read More
Study Tour in Thailand Boosts Pakistan Testing Laboratory Capabilities
In August 2022, representatives from several key government agencies and test facilities from Pakistan, including the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR), National Institute of Electronics (NIE) and the Centre for Energy Research and Development (CERAD) spent four days at the Electrical and Electronics Institute (EEI) in Bangkok, Thailand to reinforce and develop the national capabilities for lighting product ...Read More
Major Milestone in Indonesia’s Transition to Energy-efficient Lighting Achieved
The approval of the Ministerial Decree for minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and energy labels for light emitting diode (LED) lights in July 2022 marks a significant milestone for Indonesia’s ADLIGHT, Advancing Indonesia’s Lighting Market to High Efficient Technologies, project. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The three-year ADLIGHT project, ...Read More
The Next Frontier for Eco-Efficient Lighting Reached as LED Technology Advances Further
The new wave of ultra-efficient LED lighting that can save 60% more energy and last three to five times longer demonstrates that the development of this already highly energy efficient sector is far from complete, offering a new opportunity for even greater energy savings for everyone, everywhere, and is an especially welcome fast solution in the context of soaring electricity costs, energy security issues and the climate crisis. Energy consumption is one of the most important factors in ...Read More
Capacity Building in Indonesia Supports Development of New MEPS and Energy Labels
United Nations Environment Programme United for Efficiency (UNEP-U4E) has supported Indonesia’s ADLIGHT, Advancing Indonesia’s Lighting Market to High Efficient Technologies, project with capacity building since it was launched in September 2020. This increase in breadth of knowledge and skills has underpinned the development of minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and energy labels for light emitting diode (LED) lights that are scheduled to come into force in July 2023 and helped inform ...Read More
United for Efficiency Technical Support for Eco-Efficient Lighting in Bolivia
In May 2022, members of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) United for Efficiency (U4E) technical team visited La Paz to meet with national stakeholders implementing their three-year full lighting market transformation project, Delivering the Transition to Energy Efficient Lighting in Bolivia. The objective of the visit was to facilitate discussions on the implementation of the various aspects of the countrywide project, to provide technical advice on ongoing activities and to help identify ...Read More
Monitoring, Verification and Compliance Capacity Building Training Supports Transition to Efficient Lighting in Bolivia
On 4 March 2022, representatives from the key institutions involved in the Transition to Efficient Lighting in Bolivia project met in La Paz, Bolivia to receive training to expand capacity within the wider stakeholder group on the monitoring, verification and compliance (MVC) aspects of the project. The objective of this GEF-funded project is to accelerate the transition to energy-efficient lighting technologies in Bolivia through the development of a national efficient lighting policy and ...Read More
Official launch of Tunisia´s project to facilitate the rapid market transformation to high energy efficiency and usage-controlling lighting technologies
Improvement in Tunisia´s sustainable energy supply situation has been limited by restricted investment in energy resources, a decline in conventional fossil fuel energy production and a great increase in national energy demand. The growing imbalance between resources and energy needs has generated a deficit which reached 62% of primary energy demand in 2020. Moreover, the energy sector is by far the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Tunisia, accounting for 58% of the country’s ...Read More
Applying Government’s Purchasing Power to Jump-start Sustainability
On the 2-3 June 2021, United for Efficiency (U4E) hosted a series of workshops on Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) for lighting and cooling appliances. SPP is a process whereby public sector organisations meet their needs for goods and services in a way that achieves the best value for money on a whole life basis for the organisation and society. Three dimensions – environmental, social and economic – form the pillars of an SPP programme. The events gathered 57 participants, including ...Read More
