Concerted Action on Efficient Appliances: Promoting Energy Efficiency in Arab Countries
Energy efficiency in appliances is key to green energy transition. Incentivized financing, market surveys, and regional collaboration are vital for upscaling efficient appliances. Intergovernmental support and stringent regulations play crucial roles. Leveraging EU standards and adopting regional S&L programs can drive positive change. Key messages for CoP27 include the need for regional harmony in green energy transition efforts.

Phase II Concerted Action on Appliances 31 March 2022 Important Questions What is the importance of incentivized financing schemes to promote efficient appliances? What are the best roles that energy conservation agencies/intergovernmental organizations/governmental bodies could play to promote the market uptake of efficient appliances? What are the barriers that hinder the development of a regional S&L program for domestic appliances in the target eight countries? How could the target Arab Countries leverage on the EU Standards in developing their national labeling programs? What are the key messages that you wish to send to the upcoming CoP27 in Egypt?
Phase II Concerted Action on Appliances 31 March 2022 Takeaways Energy efficiency in many cases is not a priority for end-users and their buying decision, leverage on the cost-benefits associated with efficient appliances as well as the availability of incentivized financing schemes and demand side management programs are crucial for market upscaling. A first step towards the market upscaling of efficient appliances is to conduct to detailed market surveys to gain insights on the breakdown of the total number of traded units and market size per energy efficiency band. International trade routes between the target countries and the EU member states could benefit the regional markets by introducing efficient appliances; however, lack of regulations is allowing inefficient brands and models to dump the markets. Intergovernmental organizations have a great in role in supporting target countries setting their national policies towards energy efficiency and green economy transition in general and efficient building appliances in specific. Governmental bodies should enact regulations banning the trade and import of inefficient appliances, custom authorities should provide incentives to imported components necessary for the local manufacturers to assemble efficient appliances (i.e., inverters for ACs).
Phase II Concerted Action on Appliances 31 March 2022 Takeaways The EPREL Platform (Products with an energy label are registered in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling) was introduced for the first time by the EU DG Officer, this platform would inspire the policy makers and trade organizations to facilitate the market transition towards a greener appliances. Target countries should harmonize its efforts to develop a regional S&L Program. This program could facilitate the dissemination of green financing facilities in target countries and meets the donors eligibility requirements (the Lebanese success story with The Italian Energy Efficient Home Appliances).
Phase II Concerted Action on Appliances 31 March 2022 Key Messages for Cop27 There is a regional harmony amongst the target countries to facilitate the green energy transition through the design of regional S&L program. This program would upscale the EE market and significantly reduce the negative environmental impact of the buildings and construction sector. Support from intergovernmental bodies is crucial to set the frameworks and policy drafts necessary for the trade of efficient appliances. Financial support is mandatory to stabilize the markets and bush backward the inefficient appliance dumping the markets. Target countries could leverage on the accreditation labs available in few Arab countries as a hub for the testing of its appliances. Target countries could build on the EU success in banning the trade of inefficient appliances.
