Description
The implementation of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/ Global Environment Fund (GEF) supported “Market Transformation of Energy Efficient Appliances in Turkey” started in 2010 with an objective to reduce the household electricity consumption and the associated Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by accelerating the market transformation of less energy consuming household appliances.
 
This will be facilitated by a) strengthening the local institutional capacity to develop, adopt and implement effective appliance EE policies; b) developing and implementing a structured compliance checking and enforcement program for appliance energy performance labels and standards; c) increasing consumer and the supply chain awareness and capacity to purchase / deliver energy efficient appliances in the Turkish market; and d) analysing and reporting the results of the project for further learning, adaptive management and, as applicable, replication in other countries.

Duties and Responsibilities

The objective of the assignment is to facilitate the establishment of a sustainable market monitoring system, including information on the annual sale of different appliances as per their energy consumption classes. Beside serving the design and implementation of project’s planned policy, public awareness raising and marketing activities and monitoring of their impact, the database shall also serve the monitoring and analysis of the energy saving and GHG reduction impact of the project at the national level. The methodology, calculation tools and assessment for this are to be completed as a part of the assignment. Furthermore, the database is to serve as a basis for future energy saving and GHG reduction projections.
 
In line with the provisions of the project document, the list of appliances to be primarily targeted by the market monitoring system include: Refrigerators, washing machines, dish washers, ovens, air-conditioners and TVs. At the beginning of the assignment, however, and subject to the available resources and market information, this list is to be reviewed and new appliance groups may be added during project implementation.
 
As an essential part of the assignment, the procedures and agreements for regularly obtaining the required data from the key stakeholders are to be elaborated so as to facilitate the corresponding negotiations with the owners of that data. The regulatory basis for this already exist by the provisions of article 21-2 of the “Regulation on Increasing Efficiency in the Use of Energy Resources and Energy” adopted by the Government of Turkey in October, 2008 as secondary legislation to the Energy Effiency Law. The mentioned article obliges “the manufacturers and importers of electrical home appliances and boilers used for heating of buildings to notify the EIE in January every year on the amount of products they sold in the country, on the basis of energy label categories”. The implementation of this has not really materialized yet, but the Measuring and Evaluation Division of the EIE is currently in the process of expanding their “EnVer Portal” to include also information on EE appliances and which work should be closely co-ordinated with the activities of the UNDP/GEF project.
 
The General Directorate for Industry under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) is responsible for market surveillance of products covered by this project and maintains a database of inspected products. Until now, however, the inspections have mainly focused on product safety and other CE marking aspects. Once proceeding further, the actually measured energy consumption of the inspected products as per the energy classes is to be included into this database, which information can be analyzed together with the obtained sales data of different energy classes.
 
The Association of the Turkish White Good Manufacturers (TURKBESD) as one of the project partners has agreed to supply the project with the aggregated sales data as per the energy classes for products sold by their member companies. This covers, however, only a part of the market.
