Project Completed

The project will promote  the concept of Monitoring & Targetting (M&T) as an energy management tool that helps achieve substantial improvements in energy-efficiency and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.  The project will support activities of the participating governments to promote the use of M&T in each country by providing a technical assistance package that addresses the barriers.  It will couple these with ESCO-type financing that brings about additional private sector investment in energy savings equipment and technologies.The target sectors are industry and commercial establishments.
