7 Short-term ( ) Sustainable Energy Programmatic Programs –Support policy reform towards the configuration of sustainable energy matrices (Peru, Barbados and Bahamas). –Contribute to relieve sector constraints through regulatory reforms (El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize and Regional).

8 Short-term ( ) Examples of Sustainable Energy Programmatic Programs CountryProject Name PEDevelopment of a New Sustainable Energy Matrix Program I PNEnergy Sector Consolidation Support Program I BASustainable Energy Framework I for Barbados CountryTC Name PESupport for the Energy Strategy of Peru PEStrategic Plan of Sustainable Energy and Biofuels to Peru (PEESB) BASupport to the preparation of the Sustainable Energy Framework I for Barbados

9 Medium-term ( ) Objectives Implement projects and programs consistent with sustainable energy matrix that includes energy policy reformulation and increasing percentage of renewable energy in the matrix. GCI-9 and the Energy Sector in LAC Energy sector is comprised in three of the priority areas: Infrastructure for Competitiveness and Social Welfare (Priority Area 2) Regional Integration (Priority Area 4) Sustainable and Renewable Energy (Priority Area 5)

10 Medium-term ( ) Facilitate the Transition to Increasingly Sustainable Energy Matrices Three modalities of support: –Project that promote national policy shift and implementation of large scale sustainable energy and energy efficiency projects –Support technical assistance programs on sustainable energy and energy efficiency, which may eventually lead to concrete projects –Provide knowledge transfer by technical assistance and in house analysis to assess the energy resource, through the Energy Innovation Center

IADB Energy Innovation Center The IDB will partner up with Governments and other partners to provide support for: –Knowledge dissemination, –Sustainable Energy innovation –Technical Assistance Platform –Financial resources for financing and co-financing energy sector projects

IADB Energy Innovation Center Objetives: Promote energy innovation and cutting edge technology for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy access Serve as regional hub for energy knowledge exchange and dissemination Translate ideas into projects Explore co-financing opportunities

13 Long-term, (beyond 2015) Continues Support to sustainable energy, through regional energy integration in the Energy Sector –Support the successful completion of ongoing projects, i.e. Mesoamerica Project (SIEPAC) and the Guatemala- Mexico interconnection; –Promote new energy integration projects and support regional integration initiatives like; and –Support the development of potential new bi-national hydroelectric projects, i.e. Garabi (AR-BR) and Corpus (AR-PR).
