On Wednesday morning, pilot and reserve country representatives met to consider how to improve their country's enabling environments for renewable energy investments. Claudio Alatorre, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), presented on viable options for improvement. Gevorg Sargsyan, Program Coordinator, World Bank, urged participants to design a framework that covers renewable energy as well as energy efficiency and access, while being objective, comparable, actionable and context neutral. Participants were tasked with selecting the indicators and sub-indicators least and most desirable from proposed indicators that would best assess the enabling environments for investment in renewable energy technologies. Participants were then given the opportunity to report back on their findings within the four themes of renewable energy, cross-cutting technologies, energy access and energy efficiency.
During the afternoon, country representatives gathered in roundtables to assess their respective country's enabling environment for renewable energy investments, including laws and regulations, policies, institutions, and markets and incentives. Participants were tasked with a "country diagnostic exercise," discussing the areas in which SREP resources can enable them to enhance weak enabling environments, as well as benefit from strong enabling environments. After a first round of in-country discussions, countries then shared these experiences among each other in a roundtable discussion.
After these discussions, Inka Schomer, CIF Administrative Unit, presented on the SREP Results Framework, after which Mikul Bhatia, Energy Anchor Unit, World Bank, presented an overview of ways to define and measure access to energy. During a roundtable session, participants discussed ways of assessing the access impacts of generation and transmission projects working through a case study based on a fictional country. Bhatia suggested using one framework as well as the complementary approaches of quick estimation at project commencement, and actual measurement after implementation.
