Financial
Engineering for Small Scale Hydro Power Stations in Georgia
EEC Georgia in cooperation
with the Norwegian company
ENSI International has started the implementation of the
second round project "Financial Engineering for Small
Hydropower stations in Georgia".
The program is initiated with
support of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affair with the
main aim to increase local capacity building on financial
issues.
The program is aimed at
project developers and owners of Small Hydro Power Plants in
Georgia, in particular within rural areas, agriculture and
agro-processing and in the manufacturing industries.
The project consists from
three training sessions that will be held with the intervals
of 1-1, 5 months in the period started from December 2007,
where specialists and managers will be trained in how to
develop Business Plans for small scale hydro power stations.
The Financial Engineering program has started with 1 session
Seminar at 10-12 of December 2007 for 27 participants from
financial institutions, energy authorities, SHP owners and
SHP developers.
At the three training
sessions, each lasting for 2-3 days, EEC and ENSI
consultants give lectures, organize exercises and hold
individual consultations with each project team.
In between the sessions the
participants continue the development of their project based
on skills obtained and advice given at the previous session.
EEC and ENSI will assisting
and supporting, as well as pushing to ensure agreed progress
at the same time as their personnel is further improving
their skills and experience.
The second training session
will be organized in 18-19-20 of March in “Prima Vere” hotel
(8, Kuchishvili street) Tbilisi.
Georgia - Greenfield
hydropower investment opportunities
In cooperation with the
Georgian Ministry of Energy, the Nordic energy firm
ECON is undertaking a
detailed due diligence of the investment opportunities in
greenfield hydropower sites in Georgia. ECON is also
developing pre-feasibility studies for the most prospective
sites (1100 MW in total).
An investment conference will be
organized in Tbilisi in December 2007-January 2008 for
interested investors.
This
website presents the results of the due diligence on the
sector and the pre investment studies.

Promoting Energy
Efficient Product Distribution through ICT Access
The project is financed by
Winrock International
- sub-contractor of the Academy for Educational Development
(AED)/USAID-funded dot-ORG program.
The project envisages the modification
and expansion of EEC Georgia’s
Eco-Building
Marketplace web site and includes the following
activities:
-
Increase the number of
suppliers and products listed on the Eco-Building
Marketplace web site. Priority will be given to
suppliers or distributors of energy efficient (building
materials, equipment, appliance) and renewable energy
products (biogas, mini-hydro, efficient stoves, solar PV
and thermal).
-
Gather formal and
informal feedback on the Eco-Building Marketplace and
incorporate this feedback into the web site design and
business model.
-
Establish an
interactive voice response (IVR) system to deliver
information from the web site to customers who do not
have access to the Internet or who prefer to do business
via telephone-based services.
-
Refine and develop the
business model for ensuring financial viability of the
Eco-Building Marketplace web site.

LIST OF IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS
Urban Heating and
Residential Energy Efficiency for Utility Affordability in
the Republic of Georgia
USAID-approved research
outline for the studies on Urban Heating and Residential
Energy Efficiency for Utility Affordability in the Republic
of Georgia, which will be developed under the World
Learning/USAID Energy Sector Grant Program.
On 10 December, 2007, The
Washington-based Alliance to
Save Energy (ASE) and the
Energy Efficiency Centre of
Georgia (EEC) jointly started the programme "Urban
Heating and Residential Energy Efficiency for Utility
Affordability in the Republic of Georgia".
The aim of the programme was to
collect, analyze and provide all the necessary data for the
development of the Urban Heat and Energy Affordability (EA)
studies; implement Energy Efficiency Pilot Projects in
residential buildings, conduct a thorough monitoring of the
achieved savings.
CDM as instrument for industrial development and poverty alleviation in Caucasus
The first phase of the program has been implemented by two Norwegian
