1. First Status Report on Energy Efficiency Markets under the guidance of the Energy Efficiency Coalition

2. Provide an up-to-date characterization of the markets, policies & incentive systems and involved stakeholders

3. Target OECD countries and the emerging market economies of Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa

4. Thermal and electrical EE, Demand-Side and Supply-Side EE

5. Project partner: Ecofys

� Initiation of the Energy Efficiency Coalition : A REEEP initiative and driven by the industry - will comprise of a wide group of relevant stakeholders in energy efficiency

� Global approach with focus on OECD and Plus Five countries

� Sustainable platform which increases advocacy for EE and helps to bridge the gap between "talking" and implementation

� Sharing of best practices and finance solutions

� Coalition will be launched at COP 13 end of 2007
