Sustainable Energy Efficiency in Municipal Services (SEEMS)

The project aims to scale up the use of energy-efficient technologies in municipal facilities and services in Ukraine, thereby contributing to a reduction of energy consumption (energy savings) that will reduce GHG emissions and improve air quality in cities. The World Bank and GEF funds will be channeled and managed through Ukrexim Bank to municipalities, to finance eligible capital investments and technical assistance activities which will enable a better-managed energy consumption, energy savings, and a reduction of the municipal energy bill. This viable approach for expanding municipal EE financing in Ukraine will also demonstrate and contribute to the sustainability of municipal services while improving the financial performance of municipalities.
