Happy New Year 2017 & Best wishes from Municipal Energy

Dear friends, partners, colleagues, Municipal Energy NGO congratulates you on the upcoming New Year! Let it brings us a lot of heat and warmth, energy and enthusiasm. On the eve of 2017 we’d like to have a look back at the current year, and take a look into the future.

2016 was a busy time for Municipal Energy, as well as successful. Our experts were a party to the development of municipal programs devoted to energy efficiency campaign. We held workshops, moderated panels at conferences, communicating with investors promoting the idea of energy service. There was a lot of work and we are quite satisfied with the result.

Earlier this year, Municipal Energy launched a communication campaign for Kyiv citizens who live in multi-apartment buildings. State support programs for energy efficiency, loan compensation mechanisms, ability to combine them – all the tools should be explained to the citizens. In cooperation with Kyiv City State Administration, with support of the Department of Housing, Utilities and Urban Infrastructure Development, we conducted this work and launched the process.

To fix the result, we opened the all-Ukrainian consulting call center was established (in partnership with MERP).

Municipal Energy was a member and co-organizer of several important professional forums and conferences, all-Ukrainian as well as international, where our experts moderated sessions and thematic panels. In April – the Independent Heat&Power 2016, May – the National Forum of Energy Efficient Partnership, November – organizing and moderating panels on VIII VIII International Investment Business Forum “Energy efficiency and renewable energy” and Kyiv Investment Forum 2017.

Our key project in 2016 is launching Energy Service Contracts (ESCO) mechanism in Ukraine. From April to November we held workshops on ESCO in four cities: Khmelnitsky, Poltava, Odesa and Lviv. In June and July, together with SAEE, we organized training courses on ESCO for the municipalities in 7 regions of Ukraine.

Overall, our experts consulted more than 55 companies on energy service mechanism and successfully supported about 20 tenders provided with the support more than 50 percent of investors in preparing tender documentation.

We are not going to stop there. In 2017 we have further plans. Towards more efficient and wise use of energy a contribution of each and every one of you matters. We are open for cooperation, new ideas and communication.
