REEEP was established to accelerate RE/EE focusing on underdeveloped and emerging economies

REEEP acts as a market facilitator by reducing market barriers for renewables and energy efficiency systems through focus on:

policy/regulation development and improvement finance and business models

REEEP is driven by a bottom-up approach to meet the real needs on the ground

REEEP works with governments as well as with the private sector

REEEP is committed to the achievement of MDGs and aims to improve access to sustainable clean energy for the poor

REEEP is unique in combining the benefit of renewables and energy efficiency

Well established regional and global networkREEEP comprises 270 partners + 3000 friends

REEEP Partners include 46 governments:

• all the G7 countries and 3 “Plus 5” countries (SA, Brazil, Mexico )

• States and key agencies from China and India ( NDRC, IREDA )

• Development Banks and other International Organisations

REEEP project activities are the partnership’s core business

All projects aim to support REEEP’s mission – accelerating the uptake

of renewable energy and energy efficiency contribute to two major objectives

reduce greenhouse gas emissions improve access to clean energy for poor

geographically focus on “plus five” countries and selected LDCs

concentrate on the two types targeted actions which can deliver highest impact and replication assisting with establishing legal and regulatory

frameworks developing innovative finance and business

models to make RE and EE a bankable proposition

emphasize impacts and outputs which can be replicated

be amplified by REEEP services and strategic actions

Information gateway for renewable

energy and energy efficiency

WHAT is reegle?

reegle is a one stop shop search engine for information about renewable energy & energy

efficiency including:

• Laws and regulations

• News and announcements

• Political declarations and discussion papers

• Project, activity and financial reports

• Statistical data

• Studies, manuals and reports

• Tenders, grants and bids

reegle – the information gateway for renewable energy and energy efficiency is an unrivaled tool to find information on RE

and EE related topics.

reegle’s unique position as THE clean energy search engine stems from a number of key areas:

• covers high-quality sources which are reviewed by internal experts

• features an intelligent search mechanism to broaden/narrow the scope of the search

• presents the latest news and events (including a frequently updated Blog)

• connects stakeholders by providing organisation details via the reegle actors search

• provides all information via a map-based application

What makes reegle so important ...

The reegle team has evaluated the most important internet sources of

the sector. These sources are constantly extended and updated.

Specific Knowledge Partnerships have been established, with key information

providers like Worldbank, UNIDO, IEA, ...

reegle has it’s own unique database. Special information such as conference papers,

documents, articles and information about organisations are saved here.

reegle in Focus: Detailed Information

Internet Sources (websites, databases, blogs, ...) have to fulfil the following criteria to be added to

reegle:

• High quality information,

• related to

• renewable energy

• energy efficiency

• climate change

• available in English, French or Spanish

Sources are added by:

• REEEP and REN21 experts

• reegle users after review by our experts (“suggest source”)

reegle Actor‘s database

REEEP is constantly working on further system enhancements and refinements to ensure the highest quality in search results and increase the outreach of reegle

Two of the most important projects were:

1. The reegle maps project:The scope of the reegle maps project was to provide information about actors, news and

events, projects as well as country profiles to the reegle user via a map based application.

Funded by Germany (BMU)

2. reegle redesign:As the reegle design was some years old and

web based technology has significantly evolved in recent years, REEEP introduced a brand-new reegle design including several new features in

early 2009.

Recently finished activities

The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP)

is a Public-Private Partnership launched at the Johannesburg World

Summit in 2002. The REEEP aims to accelerate the global marketplace

for energy ef.ciency and renewable energy by actively facilitating

financing mechanisms for sustainable energy projects and structuring

policy initiatives for clean energy markets on the ground.

reegle is a joint project of REEEP and REN21.

It is supported by:

• the British Department for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra)

• the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety of Germany (BMU)
