• 1. Recommendations

for adapting minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for lighting, refrigeration, HV/AC and motor engines;

• 2. Development of a model of Integrated Services Companies (IUC) and a

certification system for energy service providers;

• 3. Financial mechanisms and capacity building for sustainable financial energy;
• 4. Workshop of interested parties and end users on the proposed certification

system and MEPS. IMPACT: During the Special Meeting of the Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) in 2016 in Guyana, the work carried out in Belize gained regional recognition as an integral part of the CARICOM regional strategy for energy efficiency. The Clean Energy Solutions Center together with the OAS has supported Belize in intensifying energy efficiency efforts in government, businesses and households

National Support: Belize

• 1. Implementation of Sustainable Island Resource Framework (SIRF) Fund

To mobilize clean energy investment, Antigua & Barbuda legislated a fund for energy and climate investments, but the government asked for help in how to structure it. Clean Energy Solutions Center experts teamed with the Organization of American States to analyze business models for various international funds, assess requirements and accreditation, and prepare a SIRF fund concept note. IMPACT: The concept note helped the government prepare a full business plan to

• perationalize the SIRF and improve local capacity to manage the fund. The SIRF

Fund is positioned to serve as the national implementing entity for the country’s energy and climate goals by linking domestic and international capital sources to catalyze investments.

The Clean Energy Solutions Center has supported Antigua & Barbuda with multiple related requests to foster their development of financial mechanisms, clean energy actions, and initial project investments.

Multi-level National Support: Antigua & Barbuda

Multilevel National Support: Antigua & Barbuda

• 2. Emissions Model of Potential Energy and Climate Mitigation Actions

As Antigua & Barbuda developed proposed national actions ahead of COP21 and the Paris Agreement, the Clean Energy Solutions Center engaged the U.S. State Department in a partnership to conduct LEAP modelling of various energy sectors and potential programs to assess the emissions impacts of each proposal. IMPACT: The analysis provided policymakers with a deeper understanding of their baseline energy usage and distinct feedback on the impacts of various national proposals. Antigua & Barbuda used the results to prioritize their pending commitments and identify upcoming investment opportunities.

• 3. Development of an RFP for SIRF Fund Renewable Energy Projects

Worked with Antigua & Barbuda officials and the Caribbean Development Bank to develop a customized RFP for a large set of solar electric projects. Challenge to meet funds’ requirements while prioritizing high-quality equipment and local job creation. IMPACT: As part of reaching national goals, Antigua & Barbuda released RFP for 15 photovoltaic projects on schools and community centers across the islands. Upfront RFP work will improve potential for quality projects while expanding local installer capacity.
