10005371-Short Term Expert Support on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Buildings

Tender summary

Colombia"s National Development Plan 2022-2026 prioritises the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Plan also underlines the importance of energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in public buildings, which account for around 20 per cent of all energy consumption. In addition, the promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy in cities and public buildings reduces costs, creates jobs, drives economic growth and improves the quality of life. However, the lack of frameworks, standards, expertise and access to finance prevent the country from unlocking the potential for energy efficiency and renewable energy. Factors such as gender inequality and the consequences of the armed conflict in Colombia also hinder the implementation of inclusive climate policies. Women are under-represented in the energy sector and in decision-making. Objective: A more enabling environment, pilot projects and easier access to finance for improving energy efficiency encouraging renewable energy use in public buildings and in the cities contribute to the energy transition. The project works with national and local government representatives and it aimes to achieve the following: 1. It provides advice on policy frameworks, strategies and access to finance aimed at facilitating the energy transition. Special attention is paid to the needs of women. 2. Pilot projects are implemented in cities to test and develop approaches to energy efficiency and renewable energy. 3. Events are organised to facilitate an exchange between the responsible parties. 4. Support for dialogue and interaction on policies contributes to the climate partnership between Germany and Colombia.
