Summary: | The world's primary energy needs
are expected to grow rapidly over the next two decades, with
the largest incremental increase coming from developing
countries. This will require over US$25 trillion in energy
supply infrastructure investment by 2030. Meeting the growth
in energy demand through traditional energy development
models is unsustainable from both environmental and energy
security perspectives. Finding new ways to meet energy needs
sustainably while maintaining robust socioeconomic
development is imperative. This note offers more operational
guidance on how to get started with such programs. It starts
with a summary of the report's main findings and then
delves into operational modalities of operationalizing these
findings for World Bank (WB) operations, including issues of
WB procurement and financing. Rather than seek to recommend
changes in WB procedures, it presents some ideas and options
under current WB processes to formulate operational
approaches and strategies to deliver large-scale energy
savings to public agencies, at both the national and local levels. |
