Energy Bus
 

The Energy Bus (EB) project in Georgia was originally launched in 2008 and supported through cooperation between British Petroleum (BP), USAID, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). 

After OSCE left the country, the EB project support has shifted to BP and USAID’s NATELI-New Applied Technology, Efficiency and Lighting Initiative project implemented by Winrock International. The Energy Efficiency Center (EEC) was subcontracted by both parties for renovation and operation of the Energy Bus. The EEC is successfully running the Energy Bus project since 2008.
 

The main goals of the EB project are:

  • to raise awareness of the Georgian communities on effective and safe usage of energy and
  • to improve access to financial instruments for the realization of renewable energy and energy efficient applications by providing practical information about alternative energy resources and EE measures, identifying cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions to meet future energy goals and helping obtain information on financing of identified projects.

 

On November 25th, 2011 Energy Bus Project was awarded with a Certificate from ENERGY GLOBE AWARD.
