United for Efficiency supports Türkiye’s policymakers and regulators in advancing policies, strategies and actions for the phase-out of inefficient motors in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The initiative promotes an integrated policy approach to support the transition to energy-efficient motor systems, ensuring that market transformation can be sustained over time by the domestic market without continued external support.

At a Glance

  • Focus on energy-efficient motors in SMEs
  • Strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks
  • Support for financing and market uptake
  • Supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF)
