REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Introduction |
|
|
The International Utility Efficiency Partnerships, Inc. (IUEP) is pleased to announce the release of its 2006 Request for Proposals (RFP) for developing and implementing international energy efficiency projects and methane reduction projects that will result in the reduction, avoidance, or sequestration of greenhouse gases (GHG). The RFP will provide funding for approximately 10 to 15 GHG reduction projects with a total value of $4,000,000 including a 50/50 cost share requirement. The RFP is open from January 20, 2006 thru April 20, 2006. Grant winners are expected to be announced in May, 2006.
The goal of the IUEP program, consistent with President Bush's voluntary climate initiative announced on February 14, 2002, and the International Power Partnerships (IPP) program, a joint venture between the IUEP and the Department of Energy, is to reduce GHG emissions by identifying, coordinating, and providing funding for development of international environmentally-friendly energy development projects.
IUEP pursues its objectives and goals by sponsoring projects demonstrating real potential to reduce emissions in the atmosphere, thereby facilitating the creation of actual "tons of reductions on the table." By making grants, IUEP provides financial and managerial support to enable worthy projects to be deployed in the international marketplace. These grant-making activities also encourage the development of strong partnerships between the developing world and U.S. manufacturers, developers, and electricity providers.
This website presents IUEP's 2006 Request for Proposals (RFP). We've also provided a number of resources here to help you understand the types of projects we are seeking and to prepare a quality proposal.
