The Evaluation of Danida Energy and Environment Cooperation in South-East Asia was intended to assess and document the experience from Danida support in relation to specific energy and environment related topics in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The Evaluation focused on interventions related to environmental management and planning, energy planning, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and waste management.

The overall objective of the project was to establish a sustainable business model(s) for the large-scale implementation of Energy Efficiency (EE) measures in buildings occupied by the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) and of the Municipalities of PEA’s service area and for public street lighting. The objective was accomplished by the demonstration of EE benefits through pilot projects implemented with support from a customized financing arrangement; finalizing a plan for large scale nation-wide replication complimented by capacity enhancement of PEA and the municipalities in Thailand for EE project development and implementation. The implementation has to be supplemented with a communication and outreach program covering all sectors of the community
