The challenges that limit efficiency investments in municipal buildings and facilities include a lack of awareness and incentives, insufficient implementation capacity, and limited access to financing. All three challenges need to be addressed to scale up successful implementation of municipal energy efficiency projects.
This guidance note focuses on the key issues faced by municipalities in accessing financing for energy efficiency investments, particularly for projects in the following four areas: (i) indoor lighting; (ii) building retrofits: (iii) public lighting; and (iv) municipal utilities. The note also looks at various financing mechanisms that can be used by municipalities to fund such projects.
