A: Indicator Baseline Targets End of Project Source of verification Risks and Assumptions Project Objective To remove barriers to energy-efficient lighting in Armenia, by means of technical assessment, facilitation of financing, and development and implementation of municipal programs and national policy Quantity of energy saved and GHG emissions avoided Street lighting: 40 GWh of electricity consumed for street lighting in 2011, accounting for about 16,000 tons of CO2 emissions. Average fixture consumption is 210W in 2011. Residential lighting: 550 GWh consumed for residential lighting in 2011, accounting for about 220,000 tons of CO2 emissions. Direct energy savings of 1.2 GWh per year from demonstration projects (474 tonnes of CO2 emissions) Direct energy savings of 20 GWh per year from replication of demonstration projects via municipal programs (8000 tonnes of CO2 emissions). Indirect energy savings of 125 GWh per year from implementation of national lighting policy (50,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions) Municipality data Pilot project monitoring reports. Audit reports Achievement of these targets depends on adoption and timely implementation of municipal programs and national policies, which in turn require sufficient political will and financing. Outcome 1 Municipal energy audits, technical capacity-building and awareness raising Methodology for energy/lighting audit Number of municipal lighting systems energy audits conducted Number of specialists and agency representatives trained Public exposure Lack of methodology for assessing energy efficiency in lighting Municipalities are not aware of energy saving potential in lighting sector No specialized training or training materials on EE lighting is offered in Armenia By the project midterm methodology established At 10 comprehensive audits of public lighting (including pilots) completed in Yerevan and other cities At least 20 specialists from private sector and municipalities are trained on EE lighting and energy audit Project annual reports Audit reports Project annual reports Not observed
Limited broadcasting of information on EE lighting Media releases on outcomes of each pilot. Awareness raising materials available for general public Public outreach materials and publications Project web-site Outcome 2 Demonstration projects Pilot projects yield cost-effective energy savings, raising the confidence of investors and decision-makers about EE lighting Efficiency and energy savings of installed EE lighting Share of LED in The majority of fixtures in municipal outdoor lighting sector incorporate inefficient 250W HPS or 400W mercury-vapor lamps. The indoor lighting sector is dominated by inefficient incandescent lamps and fluorescent tubes. At five demonstration projects on a number of efficient lighting technologies completed for indoor, outdoor and street lighting. Direct energy savings of up to 0.95 GWh per year by completion of all pilots (subject to final selection of pilot size and technologies) 100% LED for outdoor (park) and indoor lighting pilots 40% LED included in street lighting pilots Project reports and audits Fulfillment of the target will depend on planning (e.g. final selection of pilot size and technologies), financing, and implementation according to strict timetables agreed upon by the project and its partners. Outcome 3 Replication via municipal programs and associated financial instruments Municipal lighting programs lead to widespread deployment of EE lighting and associated energy savings Municipal programs for EE public lighting Financial commitments for energy-efficient municipal lighting Municipal programs for EE public lighting are desired but not comprehensively designed, financed, nor implemented Municipality of Yerevan develops and adopts program for upgrades of municipal lighting Similar programs are adopted in other cities of Armenia Establishment of financing mechanism for Yerevan (e.g. revolving fund) Support in preparation of funding proposals (including tenders for ESCOs) for cities of Armenia Municipal plans on EE lighting upgrades Established separate account/budget line in Yerevan Lighting Company for funding of EE lighting projects/upgrades. Number of investment proposals applied for Adoption of municipal programs requires sufficient from municipal budgets and/or public and private sources of financing
