ENERGY SAVING PUBLIC LIGHTING IN MALTA - MIEMA

Energy Saving Public Lighting in MaltaThe Plan generally purports to identify those measures deemed to be mostcost-effective and that will optimise energy efficiency in a number ofcontexts. The Plan further aims to denote a way forward for the rationalimplementation of these measures.The NEEAP identifies measures that will generate energy efficiency andproposes to implement them in a structured holistic manner, in line with thefollowing strategy:• Ensure that the public sector becomes a role model in energyefficiency;• Promote increased awareness and behavioural change by consumerson an individual level;• Adopt financing tools and economic incentives targeting all sectors,implemented in full compliance with the applicable State aid rules, thatwill stimulate take up of more efficient technologies;• Take advantage of, and support, international efforts – in particular atEU level – to ensure that more efficient energy using products becomeavailable to the consumer;• Use legislation and fiscal instruments judiciously, for example by settingstandards for energy performance in buildings or for providers of energyservices such as auditors or installers;• Carry out research in energy efficient technologies and practicessuitable for adoption in Malta; and• Create the organisational structures necessary to support theachievement of these objectives 2 .2 National Energy Efficiency Action Plan, 2008Malta Intelligent Energy Management Agency 7
