OVERVIEW
Ministers and other high-level representatives from 24 governments convened for the Clean
Energy Ministerial in Washington in July 2010 and in Abu Dhabi in April 2011 to collaborate
on policies and programs that accelerate the global transition to clean energy technologies

CORE PRINCIPLES
• “Deliverables” are concrete and
transformative clean energy
initiatives led by like-minded and
willing governments
• No expectation that each
government participates in all
initiatives
• No communiqué or other negotiated
text
• Distributed leadership model
-- Page 3 --
GOALS
• Make substantive progress on the 11
CEM initiatives, which have the potential
to:
– Avoid the need to build more than 500
mid-sized power plants in the next 20
years
– Bring improved energy services to
more than 10 million people without
access to electricity by 2015
– Promote rapid deployment of
renewable energy, carbon capture
and storage, and electric vehicles
– Help encourage women to pursue
careers in clean energy

MEETINGS
Meetings are opportunities to assess progress,
engage the private sector and the public, and
guide work under the initiatives
Upcoming Ministerials

LARGE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR MODERN OFF-GRID
LIGHTING
– 96% in Africa and Asia
– Many cannot afford higher-cost
alternatives to grid electricity
Unelectrified Population (in millions)
• 1.4 billion people lack access to
grid electricity

OFF-GRID LIGHTING: SOLAR AND LED ENERGY ACCESS
PROGRAM (SLED)
• Goal to transform the global market for off-grid lighting by replacing dirty kerosene
lanterns with solar-powered LEDs
• Implemented by IFC in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy
• Since CEM joined forces with existing World Bank Group Lighting Africa initiative:
– Regional coverage expanded from 6 countries in Africa to include Asia
– Cumulative sales target increased from 2.5 million to 10 million

With EE
Cooperation among SEAD partners’ national standard-setting bodies could save by 2030:
• 1,800 terawatt hours per year of electricity = as much as would be produced by 600
five-hundred megawatt power plants
• US$150 billion per year of net energy-related expenditures  Leads to significant
energy savings for households (e.g., Existing standards in the U.S. save an average of $285
per household per year )

APPLIANCES: SUPER-EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT AND
APPLIANCE DEPLOYMENT INITIATIVE (SEAD)
SEAD aims to coordinate policy for efficient
appliances and equipment
• Regular and ongoing contact between
partner governments’ standard-setting
experts enables greater coverage of product
categories at lower public cost
• Harmonizing test procedures reduces trade
barriers for efficient products and facilitates
comparisons of efficiency programs
• For globally-traded products, coordination of
measures such as incentives, procurement,
and awards magnifies market
transformation benefits

CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS CENTER
• Track and share policies,
public investment trends,
and outcomes
• Identify best practices for
clean energy policy and
program development
• Engage stakeholders in
dialogue about policy and
public investment
opportunities
• Provide virtual training,
including videos and
webinars
• Build a user network of
policy makers and
technical experts
