Results Framework Analysis Global Environment Objectives (GEO) and Key Indicators(as approved) The GEO was to reduce GHG emissions on a continuous basis by overcoming barriers to implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy. The development objective of the project was to develop a sustainable market for EE and RE by supporting the development of an enabling framework, institutional capacity, and necessary financing mechanisms. Specifically, the project would: - Change the current unfavorable investment and incentive conditions and create an enabling environment in Macedonia that fosters the development of sustainable energy utilization (in this context defined as efficient use of energy and use of renewable energy sources) through providing financial, methodological, informational, and institutional support; - Support a large increase in energy efficiency (EE) investment in Macedonia through development of a self-sustaining, market-based financing mechanism based on a principle of commercial co-financing. The project's goal is focused on the development and implementation of financially profitable EE projects, which can provide sustainable and increasing reductions in GHG emissions without relying on public subsidy; and - Increase the availability of financing for renewable energy (RE) investments, enterprises and intermediaries through the establishment of a financial facility with a long-term time horizon, which will provide seed capital for debt co-financing of RE projects. Revised Global Environment Objectives (as approved by original approving authority) and Key Indicators and reasons/justifications The GEO and the PDO were not revised, however the GEO, PDO and Intermediate indicators were amended at Restructuring 1. The indicators below reflect the post- restructuring 1 indicators and formally revised target values, as agreed with ECA Quality. Please note that the formally revised target values in Restructuring Paper 1 are annual and not cumulative as stated in the paper.
