Offenes Programm Energiesektor (BM) Open Programme Energy Sector (Accompanying Measure) Das Vorhaben Offenes Programm Energiesektor zielt darauf ab, mittels Investitionen in den Stromübertragungssektor den georgischen Staat beim Ausbau und Inwertsetzen der Erzeugungskapazitäten aus Erneuerbaren Energien zu unterstützen. Gleichzeitig soll die Exportfähigkeit gestärkt und die Übertragungsverluste durch Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen im Stromnetz minimiert werden. Zudem können im Rahmen des Offenen Programms Energiesektor auch Investitionen mit Pilotcharakter im Bereich Erneuerbare Energien finanziert werden. Damit soll insgesamt die wirtschaftliche und soziale Entwicklung Georgiens weiter gefördert werden.Dafür werden mithilfe eines FZ-Entwicklungskredits von bis zu 100 Mio. EUR Investitionen im georgischen Energiesektor finanziert. Das Vorhaben ist als offenes Programm konzipiert und soll der georgischen Seite die Möglichkeit geben, selbstständig die Prioritäten für Investitionen im Energiesektor im Rahmen der vereinbarten sektoralen Fokusthemen zu setzen.Die Ausweitung der Übertragungskapazitäten durch den Bau von Übertragungsleitungen und Schaltanlagen ist notwendig, um die in den kommenden Jahren privat finanzierten Kraftwerke aus Erneuerbaren Energien (überwiegend Wasserkraft) an das Stromnetz anzuschließen.Der Investitionskomponente soll eine Begleitmaßnahme i.H.v. 1 Mio. EUR beigefügt werden, die die georgischen Partner beim Aufbau weiterer Kapazitäten im Energiesektor unterstützt. Hier sind insb. die Anpassung an EU-Standards und die Harmonisierung der Strommärkte mit Georgiens Nachbarländern relevant, um die bereits begonnene regionale Integration der Stromnetze zu fördern.Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind alle an das Netz angeschlossenen Verbraucher. Da der An-schlussgrad in Georgien nahezu bei 100% liegt, werden sowohl private Haushalte als auch Unternehmen profitieren. Das Vorhaben hat positive Wirkungen hinsichtlich des Umwelt- und Klimaschutzes (Verringerung von Treibhausgasemissionen, sowie Umwelt- und Ressourcenschutz). The project Open Program Energy Sector aims to support the Georgian state in the expansion and valorization of renewable energy generation capacities through investments in the power transmission sector. At the same time, the export capability is to be strengthened and transmission losses minimized through energy efficiency measures in the power grid. In addition, investments of a pilot nature in the field of renewable energies can also be financed under the Open Program Energy Sector. The overall aim is to further promote Georgia's economic and social development.To this end, an FC development loan of up to EUR 100 million will be used to finance investments in the Georgian energy sector. The project is designed as an open programme and is intended to enable the Georgian side to set its own priorities for investments in the energy sector within the framework of the agreed sectoral focus themes.The expansion of transmission capacities through the construction of transmission lines and switchgear is necessary in order to connect the privately financed renewable energy power plants (mainly hydropower) to the power grid in the coming years.The investment component is to be accompanied by a complementary measure in the amount of EUR 1 million to support the Georgian partners in building further capacities in the energy sector. In particular, the adaptation to EU standards and the harmonization of the electricity markets with Georgia's neighboring countries are relevant in order to promote the regional integration of the electricity grids that has already begun. The target group of the project are all consumers connected to the grid. As the connection rate in Georgia is almost 100%, both private households and companies will benefit. The project has positive impacts in terms of environmental and climate protection (reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as environmental and resource protection).
