CURRENT PROJECT
Georgia Energy Efficiency Survey Project
2008 – Current time
Supported with funds from the Austrian Technical Assistance Trust Fund and IFC
The main goal of the project is to assess the current market for energy efficiency financing in Georgia and to raise awareness among local financial institutions, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and policy makers about existing opportunities for energy efficiency financing in the country. Similar surveys have been conducted in Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Belarus.
By identifying best practices in SME energy efficiency and finance, the survey will also provide benchmarks with other countries and might lead to a more comprehensive program to increase energy efficiency in Georgia and the region.
