Sophia-Antipolis, 6-7 October 2011: the third workshop on the “Project of energy conservation indicators” organized in partnership with Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"On October 6th and 7th 2011, was held in Plan Bleu\u2019s headquarters in Sophia Antipolis (France) the third workshop on the “Project of energy conservation indicators” organized in partnership with Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE).<\/p>\n

This project concerns 10 Southern Mediterranean countries and MENA region, namely: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian territories, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.<\/p>\n

This project is co-funded by the European Investment Bank and aims to contribute to the construction of energy efficiency indicators and to interpret them for the overall Southern Mediterranean region.<\/p>\n

Nearly thirty people took part in these two days work, representing the 10 countries involved in this project as well as the associated organizations and most particularly the RCREEE center (represented by Mrs. Amel Bida) and the Medenec project (Mrs. Florentine Visser). The studies undertaken in each country have been carried out under the technical coordination of Alcor (represented by Mr. Rafik Missaoui and Mr. Hassen Ben Hassine).<\/p>\n

Plan Bleu\u2019s energy programme officer (Ferdinand Costes), environmental economics programme officer (Nathalie Rousset) and Indicators programme officer (Jean-Pierre Giraud) facilitated this workshop with RCREEE and Alcor.<\/p>\n

In his opening speech, Hugues Ravenel, Plan Bleu\u2019s officer in charge, reminded to all participants the objectives of this work, notably in the framework of all the energy ongoing studies consolidation. He mentioned the importance of indicators sharing between the countries.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Amel Bida, RCREEE representative, reminded the link between the work of this group and Energy Efficiency National Plans (included in Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions, NAMA) that are under development by the countries, especially in the framework of the League of Arab States\u2019 energy efficiency directive. In this context, indicators must be useful elements in the orientation of energy efficiency actions as well as in these plans\u2019 monitoring.<\/p>\n
