The International Energy Agency (IEA) together with its working partner the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) is undertaking a new work programme focused on energy efficiency and energy providers. Formulated under the auspices of the International Partnership on Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) and led by the UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change, the Policies for Energy Provider Delivery of Energy Efficiency (PEPDEE) activity has been established to promote cooperation and knowledge-sharing on how energy providers can improve the energy efficiency of their customers. Other participating governments include the US, Australia, and the European Commission.
PEPDEE will facilitate IEA and IPEEC member cooperation and knowledge-sharing on how energy providers can assist gas and electricity customers to save energy – and what regulators and governments can do to mobilize such efforts. PEPDEE’s outcome objective is improved collaboration by all stakeholders on regulatory mechanisms and programme designs that deliver energy efficiency improvements. There will be four PEPDEE workshops held between December 2011 and late February 2012.
