Cele i mechanizmy Programu PEMP oraz stan obecny i perspektywy programu rabatowego

The economic potential for energy efficiency improvement of electric motor systems in Poland is large and could substantially reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions. While industrial energy efficiency is a priority in Polish energy and climate change policy, the market share of energy efficient motors is currently very low due to a range of barriers. The Polish Energy Efficient Motors Programme (PEMP) aims to overcome these existing barriers. PEMP addresses key technologies and sectors identified by the Polish Energy Policy, with a special emphasis on the manufacturing industry, the energy sector (heating), the utility industry (water supply and sewage treatment) and the mining sector. Under the programme, four components are developed and implemented: capacity building by providing information and services, implementation of demonstration projects, market transformation using a financial incentive mechanism; and development of industrial energy efficiency policy. Implementation phase of PEMP project has started in year 2004. Many goals of the project have been met in years 2004 and 2005; PEMP Center is established, first of the demonstration projects is under implementation, industrial energy efficiency policy of the government is supported by KAPE .S.A. Un-fortunately major component of the programme, which is market transformation using a financial incentive mechanism is delayed. The reason of the delay was the lack of decision of European Commission concerning public help.
