Project Description
The project, which targets energy efficiency in buildings owned by the city of Chisinau, aims to demonstrate the commercial viability of energy efficiency projects to be carried out through energy performance contracts ("EnPCs").
The project is a sub-project under the Green City Framework (GrCF).
Project Objectives
The project is to improve energy efficiency of buildings owned by the city.
Transition Impact
Good.
Improved framework for markets and economic efficiency: as a sub-project under the GrCF, the project would support the development of a Green City Action Plan (GCAP) to identify, prioritise, and address environmental challenges through a strategic and multi-sector approach. The project would also promote a replicable financial product for similar energy efficiency projects throughout the country and region.
Increase in private sector participation and expansion of competitive market interactions: the project would enable the private sector to be involved in designing and implementing energy saving projects through EnPCs.

A senior loan of up to EUR 10 million to the city.

The Bank's loan is expected to be co-financed by a EUR 10 million loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and an investment grant of up to EUR 5 million from an international donor.
Environmental and Social Summary
Categorised B. The project will have significant benefits in terms of improving energy efficiency, lowering emissions and enhancing the quality of public buildings in Chisinau. Potential issues are likely to relate mainly to the adoption of good practice environment, health and safety (EHS) standards for construction work and the need to inform and consult residents of the affected buildings. Enviornmental and social impacts will be assessed via a questionnaire and the feasibility study. Based on this assessment, the EBRD proposes to develop a brief checklist for the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to use when selecting and implementing sub-projects.
