Background of Programme South Africa’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are high, in both absolute and per capita terms and this is mainly due to a primarily coal-based electricity supply industry, combined with a prevalent inefficient use of energy across many sectors. Moreover, the country is experiencing electricity supply shortages and has a high unemployment rate. Public infrastructure, such as buildings, public lighting and water/ waste-water treatment plants, owned by and/or managed by municipalities, provinces, national government and State-Owned Entities (SOEs), contribute to the country’s GHG emissions. Despite potential financial savings, and energy and emission reductions that could be achieved through the implementation of demand-side energy efficiency interventions, uptake and implementation to date has been limited. This is due to a range of factors including capacity and resource constraints, data shortages, government procurement complexities, and access to finance. To address these challenges and to fast track the large-scale roll out of energy efficiency across public institutions, the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy(DMRE), have developed the Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings and Infrastructure Programme (EEPBIP). The objective of the EEPBIP, which commenced in 2019, is to reduce GHG emissions in South Africa by catalysing an energy efficiency transformation within the public-sector environment. This will be achieved through the provision of appropriate technical and financial support, and a programmatic approach to identifying, developing, financing and implementing energy efficiency interventions in a consistent and replicable manner. Energy Efficiency projects developed through the EEPBIP will be implemented by Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) via an Energy Performance Contracting (EnPC) model with public sector entities. Through funding from the Mitigation Action Facility, combined with Technical Assistance from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) has been appointed to coordinate the Energy Efficiency Project Support Unit (EEPSU) for the EEPBIP. The role of the EEPSU will be to support public sector institutions in identifying and developing bankable energy efficiency projects that can be tendered to ESCOs under an EnPC model. 2.
