On July 5th 2011, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) is hosting a seminar on "Ireland's engagement with the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP)". REEEP is an NGO that works to reduce the barriers in policy, regulatory and financial structures that bar and limit the uptake of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. It brings economic benefits to nations that use energy in a more efficient way and aims to increases the share of indigenous renewable resources in their energy mix. Dr. Marianne Moscoso-Osterkorn, Director General of REEEP, alongside Binu Parthan from REEEP and Peter Storey from PPL International will present an overview of: - REEEP's activities in developing and emerging markets, highlighting lessons from programmes in Irish priority least developed countries. - An energy conservation project in Malawi, the focus of the Irish Government's Offsetting Scheme - The establishment of a private financing advisory network in sub-saharan Africa Ireland works together with REEEP to initiate and fund projects that offer the greatest potential for developing the market for sustainable energy.
