A consortium led by ECA has once again been appointed to manage the ‘Regional Energy Efficiency Programme’ (REEP) for the Western Balkans established by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in partnership with the Energy Community Secretariat (ECS). The aim of this second phase of the project (or ‘REEP Plus’) is to continue to lay the foundations for, and support, energy efficiency investments in the Western Balkans, particularly in the residential sector. This aim will be achieved through activities that support legislators and investors to eliminate market barriers to energy efficiency and accelerate the take-up of energy services.
